Butthead is The Fritta!!!

Come to think of things, if Melk had more of an underbite, he'd make a decent Beavis!

May for Hibbo

Viney for Sparrow

T Mac for Melksham 

with Gus and Jordan lucky but might still go depending on if they want Hibbo in the side

Also Harmes to do a Tough as nails tagging job take no prisoners on Duckwood!

Good call.

But I hope Hibberd stays. Was a tough as nails today after an absence and showed lots of courage. Not to mention how many early games he was worth his weight.

Either of Smith and Hibberd will be unlucky but Id keep Hibberd for his previous efforts for what its worth.

Tmac for Melk who deserves credit for his eagles game and viney or maybe chunk in for sparrow.

Anyone know what happened to Brown after quarter time? He looked like he was on for 8. 

he lost quite a few one on ones in the 2nd half especially. Perhaps an injury?

We should win this one in a canter. Crows have nothing to play for and we have top spot on the line.

Dees by 40+

 

 

 

Anyone want next weeks Tatts numbers ??

 

:roos:

No but last weeks $80mil  Powerball numbers would have been good.

Looked doubled teamed every time the ball came his way after his first couple of goals


We can win this season. We aren’t even in really top form to be honest. 
I’m scared

Seeing the Eagles really struggling against Freo team missing Fyfe and Brayshaw, puts Demons struggling to get out of 2nd gear into perspective.

Very good result today, Fritsch, Langdon both hitting form, Jackson another 👍game, Spargo played well, Pickett won’t be far away from coming good.

Smith filled in well.

Only downers we’re Brayshaw & Melksham very quiet, and Sparrow turned it over too much. Jordon fair!

Assuming Viney, May & TMac all good to come back next week, we should be cherry ripe heading into the finals, and a big show to beat the Cats next week at GMHBA (Hawkins should get a  week or two, the guy was concussed, so careless, high & high).

Jon Ralph on Fritsch: “He’s got 46 goals and surely is All Australian”.

Interesting. Can’t say I’ve seen his name mentioned much in AA media chatter.

I always thought the comparison was he looks more like Beavis, just darker hair!

Quality show, I lived in Florida when it was all the rage! Classic!

My mouth is salivating at the thought. Thump the living sh_t out of him.


Adelaide's first 7 goals from our turnovers.

Pretty untidy that.

Twice we let them get back to a 3pt margin but in the end we did what we needed to do including some junk time goals for a change

I just looked at time on ground stats. A lot of our better players had a lot less TOG than usual. Trac was on the bench almost 20 minutes today. Oliver 15 minutes. Gawn 27 minutes off the ground. Gus had a full 30 minutes on the bench. 
We clearly went in with a plan to rest guys. We tried a few different things in the middle. We rested May. 
We wanted to get over the line and we did with minimum effort. Perfect outcome!

Well we've beaten everyone this year except Collingwood - that would be ironic in a Premiership year.

In the 18 the comp, no one has ever beaten all 17 other teams in the one season. Not sure how many have beaten 16.

I have rigged up my 4yo, Clockwork Orange style, to watch Fittas 7 on repeat - now that's sweet.

Fremantle in 2015 beat 16 of the 17 sides, missing out only to Hawthorn.

Given we have dropped silly games like this through the year there’s not much to be too disappointed about today’s performance. Wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t without lots to work on but when you get the 4 points and power home with a quick fire bunch of goals at the end, while missing two key pillars, you have to smile. Particularly with us being on top going into the final round. 

Next week the Melbourne vs Cats and Dogs vs Port matches look as mini QF finals, they set the tone for the finals. I honestly can’t wait!

It was great to see Fritta kick a bag, he really seemed to be enjoying himself. Brown started with a flurry but I felt he stayed involve. Some better kicks towards him could’ve give him a chance at a bag himself (looking at Harmes). 

Ultimately we got the job done and Fritta got a little confidence to go forward (after basically being MIA for the first quarter). 

Bring on Geelong with May and TMac back!

 

Great forwrad planning by coaching staff w.r.t game time for key palyers.  Max played least ground time for the year I suspect with only 78%.  Similar lower numbers fro Oliver and Petracca.

The only high TOG were ther ususal suspects of Lever (only player with 100% on the ground), Langdon and Petty.

How many players has that player concussed etc for no consequences.

  • 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.
