    Smith has been super. 

    BBB is our number 1 key forward

    Still amazed Bowey is a 3rd gamer he is so clean and composed.

    BBB - score review.  What was the call?  Cant see evidence of touch.   

    P1ssweak technology AFL.

    Just do something about it Gil you prancing polo pony

    I'd say the sound was the players hand hitting bb's foot but bc the video was so pathetic they couldn't isolate it

    AFL is a multi billion$ industry and we put up with crap technology

    Why is may out please?

    General soreness be back next week.

    Backline needs to work out there structure better to many loose players, mids need to lift round the ball, crows getting to many touches, fwd line good work from limited chances 

    Edited by Garbo

    Big Ben Brown is the forward we have been screaming out for...

    Thank you footy gods..

    Funny how BBB was one of my most hated players in the competition 12 months ago and now one of my favorites for doing the exact same thing.

    Fritsch is a dumb footballer sometimes

    Needs to pull his finger out - would be the logical out for TMc .

    Already behind VDB medical sub in DT points -3.

    Not surprising we started slow. Lucky to be in front. Jackson is pure class we have to do everything we can to keep. Potentially best player on our list and he only 19

    Clearly we are semi resting Oliver and Trac. They’re barely in any of the centre bounces. 
    Playing with fire. But also understandable. 

    Midfield possessions

    Adelaide 30

    Melb 13

    ffs they're lazy sometimes

    Needed the extra pre season though Chook.  Multiple leads, strength in contest and ground ball follow up.  Might play in our favour now touch wood.

    Good point. He's in better physical shape now than he was then, so probs a good move all said.


    Picket , Fritsch, Petracca and Brayshaw 3 touches between them….ugh!

    The obvious question is, why don’t we bring our pressure game every opening quarter? The obvious statement is, Joel Smith has been our best so far. 

    Not bad.

    We’re absorbing the pressure well and using BBB as we should.

    Fritta seems to be stoned.

    I’ll take leading at quarter time considering that was one of our worst efforts so far, poor defensive pressure, loopy handballs and when we did kick the ball we tended to just bombed it with the wind. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Mids need to lift definitely! Run is also down. Let’s see what happens this quarter.


    Mids getting taught a lesson. Harmes jogging after blokes. So frustrating

    Ah that's right, there's no holding the ball, and there's  no illegal disposal...

    We are playing a lot more through the Langdon wing today which explains why Gus isn’t having a lot of it. 
    Nice to see Ed with some touch.

    Brayshaw still doing good things without the footy, but everyone else (particularly Kozzy and Fritsch) need to lift.

    • 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.
