Brayshaw?  

That handpass alone keeps him in the side for weeks

Langdon is a great two way runner and has had a really good season. He’s saved us getting back into defense when our other midfielders can’t be bothered. He deserves recognition. 

Has been a brilliant recruit. As important to our structure as May and Lever. Three players who can’t kick good but play their role magnificently 

I have officially given up on OMac.

I think Max might have more contested possessions than Gus, Clarry or Viney.

Midfield really needs to lift now.

Clarry has 10 contested possies.  They haven't necessarily been good ones, but there it is.

Gawn has had 9.  Viney and Gus 4 each.


May has been immense.

Not just today but pretty much all year.

A dead set one man fortresses, but also great to see him floating about delivering i50!

May - superstar!

Viney went to Steele for the second half of that quarter. Hard tag.

Good move 

Goodwin made a move?

Did they become good friends on the flight over? The way they are kicking to the opposition is so precise.

Good to see OMac really imposing himself in the game in that last minute... ?‍♂️

Turnovers x3. Missed tackles x2  

he is a ??????

We ground that quarter our but sometime to need to make it ugly. We have been killed at the clearance but outside of that the ball has just pinged 50 to 50. Time for Trac and co to start bursting from the stoppage and for players to show composure and take our chances. Come on Dees show us whether we are as fit as we think.

May and Petracca are almost embarrassing their teammates they are that far above any of them 

Time for our much vaunted fitness to win this for us.

DO SOMETHING 

All of this yes except Trac who has kicked 3.


A real arm wrestle here, both teams are setting up well defensively (credit to Goody for that). This is going to be down to who takes their chances. Petracca’s goals have been huge but if we’re getting more from him as a forward/mid then Brayshaw and Clarry need to step up. Clarry in particular. Gus seemed to be getting more of it that quarter but not damaging enough. 

Haven't seen Enough of Pickett and Spargo, they need to provide more forward pressure. Hannan has been poor. Oscar, I’ve been a defender of his but I don’t think I can cop him anymore. 

Interestingly that last centre bounce we clearly got the tap but Clarry and Gus got in each other’s way. Is that bad communication or set up?

Our season hangs on this last quarter. Have we got the guts?

Some of the quieter guys need to stand up. It's amazing we've stayed in this with do many passengers!

Because we haven't allowed them to play their only game, which is run off half back.

We're not winning enough CP. I fear Hibberd down means we'll run out of steam. His attack off half back has been good.

Exactly, backline has down the job as always. Need a lot of players to lift though amd put the last few quarters behind them.

May's kicking is fine, Lever's is improving, so is Langdon's.

But yes, they (along with Hibberd) are standing out when so many others are struggling.

19-20 clearance count.

We have done well in 4th Quarters this year. Foot to the floor Demons

Great observation. If any team can run out a game this year the dees can. Statistically the best last 1/4 team over past 8 weeks

So far Brown nothing , bring back Tmac for rest of year enough this n that. Until LJ is back Tmac has the spot.

Hannan or Fritsch - not both. 
 

Our mids are really really poor today. Nothing from Viney or Oliver. Saints always showed us up in the middle - I think they have had a psychological edge for a few years.

i reckon the flood gates will open this quarter we’ve held them at bay for as long as we can endure.

You can throw Langdon in there too.  He's been terrific.

  • 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 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.
