Dees have now beaten no one again because we beat Geelong when Cameron and Higgins were out and we beat Richmond who are clearly incapable of a full game of Tiger pressure anymore.

I honestly don't think we've played our best footy yet.

We're unbeaten but still a way's off sorting our best combination.

...not a bad position to be in.

Useless Bulldogs really let Richmond off the hook. Could’ve put some serious ladder pressure on them. 

The Western Bulldogs couldn't beat the Tigers but Melbourne and Geelong could. Probably doesn't say a great deal of positive things about their finals footy brand.

Wayne Carey says don’t worry about the Tiges, this is just a “blemish.” A 10-goal pantsing is a “blemish.” LOL

Reiwoldt 2 kicks, Lynch 3

Look very soft / vulnerable

Haha. I don’t think so. Richmond haven’t looked this bad for a number of years. 

Tigers starting to have the stench of thinking that they can just turn it on whenever they need to. I suppose that type of arrogance only comes from sustained success, however their hunger is clearly missing and when that goes, it ain’t as easy as simply flicking a switch.

Tigers time at the top is over. Only hope that I can one day say the same thing with the Dees.

 

Geelong went to school on Melbourne's win over Richmond, and proved that the strategy works.  Numbers / pressure around the contest, and fast ball movement.

The pressure would really be ratcheting up on the Tigers if it wasn’t for 1 good quarter against the Dogs

Lynch looks like that kid who's always yelling 'kick it to me'. Can't go hard, appeals to the umpires, spent his junior footy years relying on his freak show height and has got nothing else.

I called it when the Tiges played us, it is over for the tiges their midfield isn't what it was and their defence is extremely overrated.

Revolt is past it and Lynch is just lazy.

Damn was hoping for a draw so neither of these 2 won.

Haven't seen you on in a while Azz or have i missed a few posts?


Great performance in the second half from the Cats. Feels good that we beat both these sides!

The case for 3 talls in the forward line.

 Cameron 5

Rohan 5

 Hawkins 2 

Rohan is the same height as Fritsch.

Richmond just have that whiff about them of only going hard when they have a point to prove. It’s the downside to sustained success.

Interesting point…

Reiwoldt was nowhere!!

Lynch was beautifully uncoordinated 

Richmond had fumbles, couldn't hold a forward area mark, couldn't score on Geelongs turnovers and had passengers. 

Geelong forced errors onto the tiges and wanted it more.

No roar from the tiges in the third, they got rolled.

Counter attack footy doesn't work. Possession of the football in the forward area takes pressure of the backline.

Ruck craft killed the undersized man.

 

 


Melbournelike football from Geelong....

:

 

 

I kinda like seeing the Tigers drop back down to earth, but must Geelong continue to just not go away? 
I cannot stand that club. When will they just die of old age already?!

i believe the phrase is downhill skier....

Not sure a player who has won multiple finals off his own boot can be described as a downhill skier. 

 

Geelong's second half was the best football I've seen this year.  Having not been a fan of theirs for years I was genuinely surprised.

  • 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.
