Bowey IMO is an unconditional IN. Leave him out and I'll create world war 4

Absolutely agree

    Holding them to 60 points and 5 goals in the last 3 qtrs was a terrific team defensive effort.

    Rhys Mathieson can go EA bag of D's. 

    I thought he was good for us, turned the ball over at every opportunity and gave away plenty of frees.. not as good as Oliver, but played his role.. he is beastiality mode..

    Always thought 94 and 98 got away from us, is this a better team?

    Just far far superior.

    He burnt Petracca on the burst and played on unnecessarily. Again, not a great fan  but his positive outweighed his negatives..... tonight

    He didnt burn Petracca because he put it on Ben Browns chest.  Only problem is Ben Brown slowed it down. ANB was outstanding.

    Alex Neal-Bullen played his best game ever I reckon

    Maybe not best game ever but he’s silenced some doubters. Vital cog.

    Rivers 2 very important smothers

    His smothers? His huge boots from defense to wing/fwd 50 are amazing.

    Was anyone else shocked to see Neale had over 40 disposals?

    All bias aside I barely noticed him.

    Yep I was surprised.

    But he's had 13 clearances and 581 metres gained so he wasn't totally ineffectual.

    Congrat to Bayley Fritsch who kicked his 50th goal.

    Phenomenal effort.

    Love this team!

    93% of them did their part tonight  

    Sparrow, really lifted. 

    Jackson was immense.

    Oliver is the key to grand final glory  

    Trac had one he’d be a bit [censored] off with. He will hit the prelim hard. 

    Langdon is just such a consistent asset to us. 

    Our defence is something to behold. 

    Lever’s positioning and strength in the air is blowing my mind these days. I though we paid too much for him. I thought he was generally a bit of a recruiting-mistake for his first three seasons. I am clearly a [censored] [censored]. 

    But he, surrounded by May, Salem, Rivers and Petty are such a dependable unit  I love that gang.

    Like everyone here, really excited about Bowey. What an insane situation he’s stepped into, and he’s holding his place. BUT, he needs to find the jets a LOT faster once he gets possession. Can look like a bit of a rabbit in the headlights at times, and I’ve noticed with somewhat concerning regularity that he’s getting caught while standing still. I get it, he’s a kid and these are standard lessons you learn. But this is finals, and it’s a baptism of fire! 
     

    Our Staffordshire Terriers, Viney & Harmes were doing what good staffys should. Great game from both of them.

    Ben Brown would have been frustrated with his game tonight, but he’s doing plenty of the right things and it will click in two weeks. At the very least he’s putting forward a strong argument that eating like a hummingbird creates a better forward than eating like a pterodactyl.

    Brayshaw, though allergic to the area between the goalposts, has admirable composure out there and can make the difficult look effortless at times.

    Spargo and Kossie weren’t exactly starring, but holding down their roles well, whereas Fritsch is clearly our X factor. Just takes a while to warm up.

    Gawny, as ever, our safest pair of hands (aside from Lever) and the best captain we’ve had since Tulip.

    Who did I miss? Oh! Nibbler! Not bad! Ran hard, and was a reliable option across half forward  

    So yeah, T Mac. Not sure. He’s been a witch hat for two weeks running. Maybe he’s doing things I’m not noticing. I’m pretty stunned we’ve played so well these past two weeks with one guy effectively out of the game. But hey, it’s working 🤷🏻‍♂️

    But I’m stoked. What a gift our team has been for those of us stuck in our houses with little else to do but dream of Australian Rules glory

    Also I really like Chris Fagan. He just went out of his way in his post-match presser to praise the club. 

    Onya Fages! 

    Oh and….

    Vale Luke Jackson’s front tooth. Not the fake one, but the real one next to it which is apparently also cooked according to the coach.

    He’s not going to be swayed, Watson11, he doesn’t rate Nibbler because he can’t, for reasons known only to him.

    Gawn - 7 tackles 

    the most tackles in the ground tonight ❤️💙

    Gawn was doing amazing ground ball efforts, pressure acts following his tapwork, etc. Almost as if he's learned a trick or two from Jackson. It's like Gawn's 5 time AA game has just ratcheted up another notch. Incredible.

    R u kidding. Neale was absolutely the Lions best. A gun. And I hate him. Their BOG was either him or Cameron.   Neale won heaps of contested footy and centre clearances. But we put him under pressure.  That’s the key.

    The 2 things I took out of that game:

    1. We are a great team.

    2. I’m convinced Rhys Mathieson is Dr D

    2. that should have been a 50 to Maxi, just took him out.

    • 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.
