So that's a German W pronounced like a V?

They could that good for a threepeat.

We've already forgotten Jetta?

I don't know about Bowey yet

Jetta has not been in this  new group other than cameos and clearly sadly is past his best. Hibbo has until his recent drop been very good for the last 2 seasons and is fighting for his life to be part of it.

BTW that doesn't diminish Lord Nev's career which has just cycled earlier than this elite group at the moment. 

As for Bowey yes it's hard on a 2 time sample but any one with footy knowledge and feeling for the game couldn't have been more impressed with his debut so far. He has adapted to the pace of the game and looked composed clever and team orientated.

His debut has resembled Trent Rivers while Harry Petty took about half a dozen games to find his feet but now looks like replacing Tommo. 

Hunt is a pick especially  for his run and carry and we may miss this in the next month  from our defence but time will tell. This defence is undoubtedly still the cornerstone of our flag tilt along with our elite midfield.

E ...... All of the above😊

It’s a question asking what in the living hell you were off on that tangent for after quoting what @Skuitsaid. He was referring to footy players providing pablum and you then veered off the highway and into the brush.

@dazzledavey36merely reacted like the rest of the traffic on the highway as you veered off amongst the trees and seemed to accelerate.

Hence the ‘wut’

And then vote for May should he ever enter politics. Candid. Honest. No spin

Pretty much rules him out of politics unfortunately

Jetty was my favourite  when he had to bash his body to pieces going 3rd in against the big forwards who were likely to kick 10 against  Oscar.

It's a pity his day has passed. 

I figure Hibberd won't be part of the back 6 for the ages either. 

Hunt can have a number of roles ,given he is one of the few genuine quicks in the 22.

But there is still room for a long term champion lock down back.

We’ve conceded the fewest points across the whole league this season. It already is a backline to remember.

Boom boom   I won't even correct it

I am going against my habitual doubts and suggesting it could be a backline that other teams  supporters remember in 5 years time!

He has come good after a shake start.

May,Lever,Rivers , Petty ,Salem..just need one more with run and with  a bit of muscle on Trent and its a backline we will remember.

Imagine just how good Petty and Rivers, and probably Bowey, will be in the future after playing under May and Lever fo 2-3 years.

  • 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.

  • 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.
