Looks easier to score left of screen must hold them this term and come home strong in the last.

    Good news is we are winning despite being way off our best, if we can get through the next qtr without being to far down then we should get them in the last with the wind and out superior fitness, think we have only lost one last qtr all year

    Good sign that our mids are struggling a bit today & we’re still in front, good efficiency 

    Time for the Burgo belief to kick in now

    I reckon TMac is playing his guts out and going OK. He was the player chasing the Bulldogs player who was penalised for running too far.

    Was surprised at Tmac's burst of speed then. Needs pull down some more marks though.

     

     

    Is it as simple as the wind favours the left of screen?

    The grandstand at the right end should be reducing the wind disturbance?

    Steven May is showing why we so despately needed him. we wouldn't be in this game without him. 

    it's the opposite of our usual games, we aren't winning the contest, or inside 50's but we look really efficient and winning the game. 

    backing us in, but we need to take our chances. 

    A bit like Collingwood last week. But we looked better in the second quarter as we got more of the ball inside our forward half.

    Wind ain’t gonna do it, need to be up at 3/4 time

    actual wind is well below forecast and appears to be dropping on chart, now down to 22kmh


    Can someone PLEASE man the [censored] up on Bontempelli?? I hear he’s a good player. Ffs

    Lucky ricochet

    Bad punch attempt by lever led to goal

    His punching is rather poor. Hit it like you mean it

    Agreed. He isn’t soft. He just can’t kick. 

    He isn't soft.  But as good as he is in the  air it's almost a 180 when the ball's on the ground (which is most of the time).

     

    We’re getting killed in tight tight and off half back and we were still in front at the half. Turn that around a bit and we should coast home. Our movement is relatively good. Tough match though. Also, stop kicking to Tomald. C’mon Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
