Richmond asked us a few big questions in that quarter and we had the answers. We will get to ask a few questions of our own before this game is done.....

    We are fumbling, nervous, dropping easy chest marks and over handballing early in the qtr. it looked nigh on game over.

    We settled somewhat, but they need to stay composed and focused, not worry about the grubbiness or all that crud and play our football and see if they can best it. Early on we are playing on their terms.

    Mustchange that if we are to have any chance.

    Huge crowd would take a while to settle.....some of our guys wouldnt have ever seen a crowd like this considering covid last year...

    Jeez Richmond applied some serious heat - we stood up pretty well in the end

    Hoping our fitness can see us going the distance. They really seemed to have a lot at contest after contest that quarter.

    Richmond are sneaky bastards. Always with the sly dig in every contest.

    Agree. They always like to sneaky punch, knee or elbow

    Our centre clearances are always woeful, we get cut up on the outside of!the centre circle.

    Richmond threw everything at us, we responded. That amount of pressure last year we would be 6 goals down. 

    Let's keep it going, finals like pressure tonight!!

    And Spargo tackle on Houli ?

    ANB, you lack intestinal fortitude and that is the kind way of saying that.


    Take that quarter. Got jumped early with an @$$y Riewoldt goal and then a turnover and hack kick goal. Richmond will nail us on turnovers if we cough it up. However they will run out of puff if we hold possession and make them chase.

    Jordan taking Dusty (mostly) in the middle...then Hibb when he drifts forward.  Viney playing a bit at HF

    I think Not where it’s in the goal square !! 

    If that's the best the Tigers have then they have nothing! 

    We'll win this!


    Its an isolated shower....will stop soon

    Got to stop the fumbling


     

    Kick it Viney!!!

    • 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.
