    I was critical of Spargo early but he played very well after half time. 

    Ha, you were super critical of everyone picket! Particularly Max. Hope you are feeling better about our team this morning.

    The game wasnt on the telly here in Cairns.  Is it safe to come out from under my rock?

    The messages from down south were so miserable that I turned off my phone at half time.

    Go Dees....

    Scott took Dangerfield and Selwood off late in the last qtr.  (I'm guessing to keep them fresh for next week as he said in his press conf he would have liked the pre-finals bye).

    It backfired.  With 5 minutes to go they were both stuck on the bench.  The ball was in our fwd line and I was yelling to keep the ball away from the i/change bench.  Not sure when they got back on but they couldn't stop our momentum.  

    It looked like Scott had packed up, preserved his 'stars' and readying for next week to be the 'Home' team.  Instead they face Port in their cauldron!!

    Own goal!

    Amd a 3rd on Clarry

    And the late call of HtB against ANB

    The umpiring all night was atrocious

    The Bowey dangerous tackle might have been the worst free kick I’ve ever seen. But hey, the umps came through when it mattered

    The way we won that was poetic justice.

    - A horrible insufficient intent decision that has cursed us once this year almost cost us again.

    - Max Gawn kicking the goal after the miss in 2018

    - A goal after the siren at GMHBA which redeemed us for that Tuohy goal.

    - A win to seal first on the ladder at a ground that has haunted us in the past.

    You could not script it better!

    I love this group and have so much faith that we can turn it around in any game.

    3 more wins to go!

    I reckon Tom Sparrow deserves a shout out after some of the commentary on here over the last couple of weeks. He played a massive game.

    Port is a better match up for them, and probably for us! That said, the first place finish and the belief is surely invaluable

    "Don't forget, Clayton. Next meeting of the player's assoc is on Wed nite, mate. We're going to release a statement condemning ducking, throwing, and cheap shots like eye gouging and targeting the head. Can I count on your support?"

    The list of narratives is endless. Guthrie, the guy that pasted Max after that Rd 1 2018 miss was the man who kicked it out on the full.

    You just couldn't make this up..

    Watching the replay now. That second quarter we were all over them and then a couple things went their way, and then they could do no wrong for 10 minutes. There was a VERY late holding the ball paid against ANB in the middle of the ground that really changed the momentum of the game.

    Imagine having ancient players,  like Higgins and Isaac Smith for the next two 3 years the two guys are cooked, not playing Jordon Clark and Quinton narkle are huge mistake, hope both seek trades at year's end, leave Geelong with no star under the age of 25.

    • 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.
