Boy oh boy do they want the hard ball more than us. They’re shepherding, getting in front, making smart blocks….all the things you do in a wet game to create the advantage.

    5 scoring shots each but don't convert & they do.

    2 goals out of their backsides         typical  we cannot hit a barn door scoring

    it’s wet AF - one up, one down waiting for the spoil, and if we are playing the ‘hammer it forwards from the ballup’ game can you please put a red and blue jumper 15-25m in front of the contest?

    The chances were there early, didn't get them. That's enough to cost you in a dry game. Even worse in the wet.

    Dogs half backs controlling the game. Pushing up and thrusting it back inside their 50. Spargo and Pickett need to lock them down if we’re any chance tonight.

    Half forward line getting thrashed need to lift

    But our mids have to run with the ball deeper and deliver to give our forwards a chance. Just bombing and hoping from forward of wing at the moment. 


    My God the umpires love the Dogs. 
    Lever virtually  tackled round the head going for a mark - play on!

    Dogs get touched free kick.

    Dog just drop ball nothing!

    Frees 8-2 joke on a wet night 

    Max Gawn has NO  IDEA AND CAN GOODY PLEASE PUT A DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THE FUGGIN DWARF DANIELS

    Worth putting Kozzie to play a run with on Daniels?  He's running hot and setting up so many plays as per usual.  Ideal conditions for him but Kozzie might be able to kurb the damage

    Brown's set shots have been a worry lately. When he was at North he would've nailed that set shot 100/100.

    Has he shortened his run-up or something?  He looks so much more unsteady prior to kicking.

    The more a player spins or wiggles the ball around while walking in for a set shot, the more likely they'll miss. I knew BBB would miss just from that!!

    yeah and umpires on side of course

    Kick it to or in the vicinity of Kozzie. Only one who looks dangerous atm.


    Not surprised. Think we have more capacity to lift than them. They got lucky with some of their goals.
    Get the handball receives cleaner and then we will make space for transition. 
    Gawn also needs to play the percentages, to many hit outs or punches went straight to them. 
    Looking forward to a big second quarter. 

    What is wrong with Viney? Just loses himself in every contest.

    • 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 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.
