Cold Beers went down beautifully watching some replays

    I was at Flemington. Won on the ponies and surrounded by Hawks supporters watching the last 15 minutes. What a day!

    What a great 10 minutes of footy, completely owned them. Ripper of a game.

    I believe this game produced this one handed beauty of a pickup from Clarry (while we're reminiscing)

     

    I'll be delighted if we kick 17 goals 7 this Sunday....

    Dom Tyson played a blinder from memory.  That was the beginning of the end of the quest for 4 in a row.

    Watching that 10 min clip you could be mistaken for believing the club would have to be insane to get rid of Watts, Stretch, Tyson, Bugg, Pedo and OMac.

    Billy Stretch was excellent too.

    I remember distinctly tearing up a bit on the train ride home from Nagoya.?
    For newer Demonlanders, defeating either Hawthorn or Geelong was considered an impossible pipe dream back in the day. I felt quite surreal. It had been so long since it had even seemed credulous that we could beat them. Sure, we had gotten within 3 goals or so a few times. But their bigger bodies and greater experience made sure they had the situation well in hand whenever we put up a challenge. ?

    The dark day were over with that win.    We had not beaten them in a decade or more, and they were the reigning premiers.   Good times, good times.

    That was the also the debut game for Sam Weiderman. During the second quarter Oliver won a centre clearance that resulted in a Brayshaw goal on the run that I remember well.

    Who's to say I wasn't doing both? Surges of indecipherable emotion can cause unorthodox reactions.

    Probably the day that stuck in Jordan Lewis’s head later that year when Clarko asked would he consider moving to the Suns

    It was a Foxtel broadcast, not on free-to-air, and we watched it on my son's phone, on hands and knees - the phone was propped up against the skirting board (beats me!). When the Watts-dink-to-Tyson-Tyson-snap happened I nearly put my fist through the floor. And it was a concrete slab...

    Possibly the greatest isolated fraction of non-goal-related pure football brilliance I've ever seen.

    • 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.
