So who's nervous for next week? 

No seriously tonight was just awesome. To hold Riewoldt goaless after the 5 minute mark of the 1st quarter was outstanding & to keep Lynch goaless all night was brilliant. 

We kicked accurately & never let them back in it. 

Only negative. Jones didn't kick a goal

    Considering tipping us against Norf next week.

    SO worth it: put $10 on and enjoy the princely sum of $10.10 returned. ?

    We were in the top deck above Punt Rd goals. When coming down the stairwell on the way out, about 2000 people in the stairwell spontaneously  erupted into the Grand Old Flag song. It was joyous and awesome

    Last time I bet on a game was when i put $200 on the Hawks to roll us.

    We won for the first time in a decade.

    As David King keep mentioning this week we still haven’t beaten anyone of note.

     

    Well Mr David King. That is both the Grand Final teams we have beaten. Trust you now realise this team is a real threat.

    I bet against the Dees every week, no matter who or where we play. And I’m thrilled to say that I have yet to collect a single cent this year!

    It has taken some time but we are finally seeing the fruits of May & Lever with Tomlinson being the manure to make this defensive core blossom. So much confidence in the back six.

    The rest up the ground is just party time.

    Awesome call 3D, we are really well placed if Tomlinson can keep doing what he's doing, because he's been sensational.

    Could the 2019 draft end up being our best ever, Jackson, Kossie and Rivers. That draft could set us up for a decade!

    No

    How good is this?

    Seriously, a team that play for each other and a structure that looks right now seriously [censored] good.

    I love it.

    Have only seen the last quarter what a dour struggle. Six in a row and having now beaten both of last years grand finalists.

    I am lost for words.

    Don’t judge it by the last quarter, we were spent and just killing time.

    Watch the 2 middle quarters for some blistering demons football.

    First 10 minutes aside, we absolutely controlled that game. After the fumbles in the first quarter, I packed my dacks when I saw the heavy rain at the start of the 2nd, but it was completely unfounded.

    I’ve had too many drinks to post too much analysis, I’ll see you all in 12, actually maybe 24, hours.

    Yeah that was epic.

    They threw everything at us in the first 15 minutes. Most other sides in the comp would have folded. In any other year we probably would have folded. The way we steadied, didn't lose focus, and then turned the game completely around and bullied them for 3.5 quarters was remarkable.

    Our forward half pressure was immense. They had a stack of inside 50s but they were repeatedly delivering it under our pressure, and with no structure forward of centre because they were sucked up the ground trying to move the ball through our defence.

    Some will criticise by saying Richmond had two injuries. Reality is we were dominant when they had a full squad.

    Salem was BOG and deserved the medal. Petracca was great though, Lever gave up that one goal in the fourth but was otherwise fantastic. ANB lifted on last week, TMac started slow but became a force as the game went on. Jackson's getting better every week. 

    Special mention to Hibberd for his incredible tagging job on Dusty and Tomlinson for being the rock that lets Lever and May do what they do.

    And finally, congrats to Nathan Jones. Played a reasonably good game. Really wish Oliver had passed to him late in the fourth, but he got chaired off after one of our best wins since he started.

    I felt like we were just trying to ice the clock in the last half of the last quarter.  Once Richmond missed a few in the start of the last and Kosi kicked that goal, it was all over and we just went defensive. Fair enough. We tackled like machines all game and were out on our feet. I know they were a man down in the end with Dusty out, but they had 3 extra days rest coming into this game. We were exhausted and played out of our skin for 3 quarters.

    Oddly enough that game was the lowest my blood pressure has been all season. That’s how good it was

    Just had to find our feet after the first 15 minutes. Our defence is unreal. Literally 3 of our 6 are AA material. Amazing instincts by our players at stoppages. Sloppy patches towards the end of the 3rd but huge plays time and time again after mistakes. T Mac and Jackson are absolute beasts. Just love these players really.

    • 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.
