Even though we are winning this is being played the way the Lions want. 
 

our defence is a bit fumbly and we 2-3 goals against we’re just poor defence. Hopefully the nerves have settled and they have a better rest of game.

The crowd looks barely 5k, the fact we've had to move the game from our home game for this.... just another bloody putrid call by this tin pot business that is the AFL.

I take it back... the crowd is fine.

Cameron is a cheat, we need someone to sit goal side of him.

Think we were more comfortable at the intensity, pretty happy with that first quarter in a whole. Brisbane can’t sustain the chaos for 4 quarters

Not a bad quarter. Just need to tighten up on Cameron, kick the goals we should kick & have players like McDonald get into the game

Jacksons mark tho....

According to the commentators Salem had Cameron for those goals and Smith has been shifted on to him after the third. 

Smith was standing on his own in the pocket like a headless chook. Salem was caught trying to help out because Smith keeps losing touch and winding up standing stagnant outside the pack. He’s causing our entire defense to lose shape. Need to get him the [censored] out of the team. Surely the coaches can see the experiment is done and finals is not the time for experimentation over proven form in Hibberd. Get Hunt or Hibberd back in next week.

Hibbo in for Smith

Not sure it would have helped. Smith at least has the speed.

Can't help but feel that some of these selections are for the long term, getting experience into the younger players. 

 

Ugh could really just go for an easy win tonight. Brisbane's small forwards have been dangerous and they've been on top in the clearances. Need Maxy to lift, well beaten by Big O that quarter. Nibbler absolutely superb so far, making it look completely dry out there.

So seems a lot of Crows fans are at the game judging by the boos every time Lever touches it.

 


both sides playing well, thought they have a high reliance on charlie cameron, time to close him down tight.our ball handling has been pretty good, goal kicking has been pretty good compared to many games. Go dees

Garbage of the highest order. 

A lot of highlights that quarter! It's actually insane how good this game is so far.

Boys have come to play. 

LFG Dees

Clean footy, will be interesting to see how we counter Cameron. Causing all sorts of headaches.

Need to make him accountable and not give him a free run

Trust them to go to the match for some free hot chips

Seems Salem might have been on Cameron. I Smith fails I'd give Bowser a crack.

Feeling good about the game, but we need prime Jetta out there right now to combat the Lions' defence.

With McStay out for the game, our backline is probably too tall. We need Smith to play short, which it sounds like he's been asked to do (now manning Cameron).

Rivers shaky. Bowey characteristically calm. Gawn quiet early but getting into it. McDonald and Brown both providing a good target.

I feel like all the Lions' goals have come from turnover. They're a good turnover team, but we're getting them more than they're getting us. Excellent base to launch the rest of the game from.

Smith just not ready for this level of game yet

Losers. What a joke to go to a game your team isn’t playing in just to boo someone. Seriously get a life.

Tmac has been useless

Give him a break it's the first qtr FFS , a allowed Brown and Fritsch to get free

 

 

If we can transplant a footballers brain into Smiths head, we’ll win this comfortably. Defense is struggling when the ball hits the deck, as Smith and Rivers are losing touch of their men. Tidy that up, and we’re sorted. Our forwards look dangerous tonight. 

Lions are such a good side! Berry and Bailey are such good footy players.

We need to slow down the ball movement into Lions fwd 50 as we look under done in the backline. Hibbs not selected... hhmmm

  • 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.
