Surely they can bring Brad Green on a casual basis down to the club to teach our forward to kick goals. He was the best goal kicker I’ve seen in my life. Natural, relaxed, could nail them from everywhere. We need some of that.

    5.2 to 2 behinds - great quarter Dees.  Can we be ruthless and really put them to the sword in the 2nd half?

    We look so much better when Oliver is kicking the footy

    Petracca is elite

    Is Shiel playing?

    Oliver has been awsome today.  Played a very important hand in a number of goals.

    Honestly they are rubbish Essendon and don't want it, split them open don't even leave the door ajar.

    I'd give Mitch Brown another contract in a heartbeat if I had to make the decision.

    Surprisingly intelligent footballer.

    Great quarter apart from Fritta's conversion. Salem playing best game of year. Vanders terrific. Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Langdon doing great.

    Apart from the obvious good players I think Brown has been effective. Melksham can pi$$ off - can’t even lay a simple tackle.

    Melksham still getting a game is a joke. Who has this much time to get back into form? And they just move him around the field to stink it up. 
    Harmes has been rotting at half back and they dropped him. Melksham does nothing for 15 weeks so gets a prime midfield spot to ball watch and enjoy one handed tackles.

    We look great today.

    Dry conditions suit our style of play.

    Bummer those two losses against Freo and Swans We’re in pouring rain and howling winds.

    Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok.

    Mitch Brown looks good leading up

    Langdon tackles, player drops the ball - incorrect disposal - free kick?  Noooooo. [censored] off umpires.

    I think the umpires threw that rule out mid season, it’s inexplicable, but it is the AFL!

    Mitch Brown 13 possessions and 7 marks..  this guy should have been in the team all season, especially ahead of T Mac.

    Definitely should have been played earlier

    Perhaps Petracca could teach them?

     

    Mitch Brown just makes us better. His lead up work has been fantastic. Give him another contract Goody.

    Was worth comming down to Carrara today, just to listen to the Bummers fans around me paying out and eating their own that quarter.  May it continue for another two decades.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
