    Gee we're looking better this week.

    our forward line looks dangerous.

    Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

    Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

    Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

    May immense.

    It’s 35-21 marks Port’s way.

    Fix our set shots and we’ll win every week!

    35 to 21 according to my stats

     

    The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated

    Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.


    I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

    The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

    Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

    Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

    Salem started well.

    9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

    Should have been below the knee if anything.

    Best start weve had in weeks

    8 frees to 5. 

    so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not 

    Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.


    We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

    Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

    Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move.

    Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

    Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

    I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

    • 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.
