     , Rosman roved well off the pack and snaps our first, followed quickly by a smart Farmer goal. 

    More of this please DZ  :)

    Gus a lot more involved this quarter, accumulating some possessions and delivering forward. Hasn’t moved from the centre corridor. 

    Petty going well, has taken a few intercept marks and read the play well. He’s on Schache and has only got away from Petty once this quarter.

    Is Laurie playing? saw mentioned he was warming up but haven't heard any mention of him in the game so far.

    Laurie started half forward and to be honest he hasn’t been involved a lot. Declase I haven’t noticed much either, I think he’s playing on the wing.

    Yes he's out there,  to be honest i hadn't noticed him but he's pretty short so blends in a bit. 

    Anyone know what number,  if they're playing,  Deakyn Smith and Declase are for those others that are here? Wouldn't know them if the bumped into me. 

     

    Pickett got involved a bit that quarter,  took on Johannisen twice with mixed results but looked busy.

    As mentioned by Dee Zephyr Petty took some very nice intercept marks down back against a decent opponent. 

    Ugle-haden went for a huge speccy on the members wing and in the excitement the umpires missed the push in the back he did to make it happen

    Declase is #45. Big unit with orange/yellow boots.

    Smith not sure, but they've been calling #40 "Deaks" so that could be him.

    Brayshaw said on his podcast thing with Max during the week that he'll only be playing a half, so don't think we'll be seeing any more of him today

    Haven’t seen Daw this half so far and he’s not on the bench,  possibly rested along with Gus as I didn’t notice he was sore or anything like that. 

    Score 85-21 and rain settling in.

    98-28 at the final break. Not much else to report, Petty solid all day, Kozzie still buzzing around. If this was the game to choose between Declase or Daw I’d be going Daw for a list spot. 

    Thanks for tuning in, I’m following Goody and Yze out the door.

    Final change scores 14.14.98 to 4.4.28

    Being completely outclassed here,  unsurprisingly.  

    Daw and Gus just played a half.  Pickett on the bench to start the last may also be done for the day. 

    Good to see the Wizard here to support his boy.

    Jesus, they did look to have a good side on paper, but I was not expecting a 100 point demolition.

    Well that’s it the bulldogs slaughted us 133 to 34 number 65 kicked the last goal disappointing day Pickett was rested in the last quarter Rosman played forward pocket would have preferred to see him on a wing like DeClasae was

    As expected.  Injuries and AFL listed players rested.  Dogs have a full list right now. Somehow teams seem to go through the preseason with minimal injuries but others like the Demons have key players out even before round 1 starts.

    Other teams don't have the burden of the Norm Smith curse ...... no offense.

    Can someone give a player to player run down on how the fared yesterday?

    Cheers.

    The Dogs were on top all day but we did not stop trying it was a game played in our defensive half

     

    Declase  - played well given the Dogs were dominant, took at least 5 marks, has a long kick on him, only his first game so needs time to build confidence

    Kozzie - gun, excellent fitness and tremendous work ethic, tough, fast and athletically gifted, he can definitely play midfield, side steps, twists, just a ripper 

    Petty - great defensive game considering under the pump all day, plenty of intercept marks, will slot straight in if May and Lever need help, would prefer him play instead of Tomlinson

    Laurie - worked hard, got caught holding the ball trying to do a side step but didn't let it demoralised him, would like to see him play wing in the same game as Baker to get a read on who has more impact 

    Rosman - didn't have much impact but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

    Angus - he was captain for the day, you can tell he is a tough, classy AFL level on baller

    Daw - did ok, big frame, reasonable fitness, didn't pluck any massive grabs, ok in the ruck

    Petty should play round 1, either back ahead of Tomlinson of forward instead of T mac.

    Kozzie is a lock.

    If Petty and Kozzy get through full games next weekend then they're absolute locks for round 1 imo.

    • 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.
