Maysie was good but not sure he was even top 5.

Ummm he was leading the 1%, he held Buddy goalless. I bet he will feature strongly in the coaches votes. He. Is. A. Star.

    Petty looked nervous early but never stopped competing. I expect with a good run of games he'll settle in well.

    Harmes also showed why he belongs in the middle. Did a mountain of work, he breaks tackles with ease.

    • Harmes was excellent
    • Brown good - can't wait til he's fully fit in another few weeks
    • Spargo massive (metaphorically speaking)
    • T Mac is back, if he wasn't already
    • Desperately need Viney back in - takes so much heat off Trac & Clarry
    • Not convinced on Petty yet but will judge in a few weeks
    • Fritsch terrible, looked lazy, hope he cops a rocket 

    Can't understate this enough. He's a critical part of our midfield rotation and whilst Jordon and Harmes were good in spurts, Viney's defensive work in the stoppages is vital.

    May was a champion too as was Oliver and Sparticus.

    Harmes stood up in his first game.

    Swans put a lot of effort in holding players all night and the umps to their credit let them get away with it.

    Very bluudy poor imho.

    One thing on our side, we back our defensive 6 in so much, we keep a spare at the contest, not behind the ball. Helps us immensely.

    Fritta was putrid, the rest did what they needed. Jordan was good for a young fella. 

    Go Dees. Suck eggs Feral South’s supporters, back to the wharfs for you on Monday.

    I already mentioned this in the votes thread, but a most dishonorable mention to Luke Darcy for referring to James Jordon as Jordon Jones several times on the telecast. Sharpen up or get out of the way of the many thousands of footy fans who'd love to be on the money you're on, who actually know the players names. Muppet.

    Biggest winner of the night? That’d be the obnoxious Swans supporter sitting behind me. He’s a winner coz he’s going home with his nose intact, as in, unbroken. He’s lucky Dees faithful are not thugs. 
    ❤️?❤️?❤️?

    Just needed to vent. 
    I’m all good now. 
    GO DEEEEEEEZ!!!!!

    Tom McDonald BOG

    Tom "Terrific" Ripper Ripper Game. Cometh the moment. Cometh the man. Kicked some 'clutch' goals tonight to deny the swannies, back to his best footy. Where are all the self-appointed drop Tom brigade now?

    Fairdinks how good was Clarry!? (...& the Mac)

    T shirt Tommy 3 votes, career best form, absolute juggernaut of the game, proving doubters wrong on a weekly bases. Strutting around town like i own the place.

    I [censored] love this game, i love you all,this is madness.

    Primetime Dees, i can get used to this.

    Cheers.

    Goodwin in the presser noting we lost centre clearances 4-17.

    That's a shocking result, but the fact we could still win against a side starting the round in the top 4 is a good sign.

    33-22 in stoppage clearances so it wasn't all bad.

    I'm going (have gone) on record to say I'm sticking fat with Harrison Petty, irrespective of Tom McDonald being an awesome forward again. He's young and inexperienced key defender, but given the chance to settle and develop cohesion with May and Lever, he WILL deliver. 

    He will be a star.

    To the Demons supporter, nice old fella in the AFL members, level 2A who left at half time cause I was too loud, I’m sorry mate. Will buy you a beer next time I see you.

    I'm an old bloke ... in my sixties. I was sitting with a mate.

    On the other side was a woman who was about my age. Demons supporter. She was sitting with her husband. She was very charming .... apparently her husband doesn't rate her comments. Not sure why not. She added to my enjoyment of the match.

    Our midfield got an absolute bath. Ben Matthews will be smiling I reckon.

    Credit to the forwards for getting a score, and very much credit to our backline for a huge job.

    But the mids need a kick in the backside.

    Harmes - zero first options

    Clarry - flat footed

    Gawn - awful.

    Petracca - going for too much.

    JJ - effort good but execution lacking

    Brayshaw - diabolical 

    Tom Sparrow in please.

    Our Centre clearance work this season has been woeful. We need Viney back and we need Gawn to either learnt to do a better job tapping to advantage or we need to play Jackson in there as he wins his own ball.

    Does she have a rather harsh voice and isn’t afraid to use it? And bickers with her husband. If so I sat near her last week and couldn’t stop laughing

    Clarry had 10 clearances. BOG with Tmac and May. 
    Agree on the rest.

    • 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.
