I was sitting here thinking "didn't Higgins go to the Cats??" only to realise that was Shaun Higgins not Jack!

    Teams will quickly learn what other teams are doing and either copy or adjust. I guess practice matches are a good time to try out tactics like Geelong are doing. Good on them for thinking outside the box.

    Saw that in our game yesterday, thought it was strange how far back from the mark we were all the time, makes sense now. , means at no time we can give away a 50 if players move on a habit/reflex.

    We play Fremantle in Round 1. How did they go against WCE today?

    47 point winners(107-60) I just read. Fyfe dominated in the middle in the first half then was rested after the main break and Walters kicked 4.2 playing predominantly forward.

    Unfortunately Dom Tyson was quiet bad. His ball use has gotten far worse. Really feel for the lad as he was a favourite of mine. But he'll be lucky to string 10 games this year.

    Really sad how much he's diminished over the last few years.

    GWS in their terrible years.

    Demons in some terrible years.

    North in some terrible years.

    Not really the sort of career he would have been hoping for.

    Yes, but he did have one really good year with us in his first season, 2014 when we all thought he was going to become a champion for the club.

    • 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.
