We've been harsh on Goody and the boys and rightly so,  but I'm extremely proud of this effort tonight. Superb. 

Enjoy all!

    Baker stood up, May is awesome and after all the negative publicity around him last year I hope the media give him the praise he deserves. A great season. 

    Langdon, wow just awesome, his gut running is fantastic. 

    A great win and well done melbourne

    While he didn't hit the scoreboard, I thought Mitch Brown was good for us tonight.  13 touches and 7 marks and he got up the ground to give us a target as well.  His experience was on full display throughout this game.

    Makes the decision to drop him last week for Preuss look even worse than it already did.

    Great observation I thought the same.

    Agreed. Looked good down back when he was there too. Cool head. Underrated player imho.

    We won a tight contested game that mattered. That is a good result.

    We play essendon next week.

    Hope that gold coast can beat the filth.

    Let’s hope that we don’t do the Melbournian thing next week.

    Pity the little b got up though. Would have been Melksham’s best moment for weeks.

    A great win indeed.

    But job is not done. Glad the players didn't over celebrate. Job is not done, as we need a few things to go our way.

    On a personal note, I'm very proud of Charlie Spargo. Kid (yes he is only 20 years of age) cops it more then any other player on our list, and to see him play a significant role in tonight's win kudos to his extreme hard work off field.

    He's one of the few forwards we have with actual 'football sense'. A few good tap on, that kick he managed to hoik back to the goal sqaure. Happy with his performance.

    No I'm with you here. 

    His work rate was immense, and gave us a good target, especially in the 3rd quarter.

    Only in hindsight.

    Brown was poor against Swans, and has been mediocre all year. Still, hope he can back it up against his old club, hard to see him getting dropped on that performance.

    Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

    This!! If we could sneak in at Collingwood’s expense...

    Bizarre that we were playing a crippled TMac for so long ahead of him. Truly some odd team selections this year

    It beggars belief that with a wet windy day in Cairns forecast, we dropped him for Preuss to play Preuss as a forward last week.

    If you want to reduce the season down to one major mistake, that maybe is it.

    Rubbish. Hindsight just confirmed how bad of a decision it was.

    In what world is Preuss a forward? Particularly given the weather conditions we knew was coming (we picked the side 24 hours beforehand). Brown mightn't have been amazing against St Kilda, but he wasn't terrible either.

    Any chance of the Hawks pulling off a hail Mary tomorrow?

    Can’t see it happening but who knows. I’ll be going for them for the first time ever.

    I really did not see that coming.

    Lever made mistakes early but he and May in the final quarter were huge.

    Rivers is a gem.

    Spargo certainly did his job. Pickett much improved. Baker gave us a second wing.

    Keeps hope alive for one more week at least. And was a great game to boot.

    Have to say i was super critical of Lever  and i stand by it, but he had a terrific last qtr. Good on him.

    • 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?

      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.
