Salem well-loved this week, as he ought to be.

I'm kind of weird I think, in how much I enjoy picking apart the coaches votes. Curious that one coach gave Pickett 3 votes and the other gave none. Also kind of interesting that in a pretty competitive game there was just one vote in the 30 for a St Kilda player.

Since this is a player rating kind of thread, I'll just throw in that our Mr Oliver is currently 3rd for disposals, 1st for contested possessions, 4th for clearances, and those above him in each category aren't the same.

Other nice individual stats, some of which surprised me a little -

James Jordon equal 4th for tackles inside 50 (and there are 5 Demons inside the top 30) AND equal 4th for tackles total.

Steven May equal 4th for kicks, equal 9th rebound 50s, and 12th for meters gained, and is one of only 4 players who still have 100% time on ground.

Jake Lever 2nd for contested marks!

Bailey Fritsch is No. 1 for marks inside 50.  (But probably way down the list for marks inside 45!)

Ed Langdon has clocked on for 97% time on ground, the only non-key-position player even remotely up there.

Kysaiah Pickett equal 6th for bounces.

  • 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.
