Right now, Joel Smith's performance against Cameron is stacking up pretty well.

    this is turning into an entertaining shootout, way better than last nights bore fest

    To be fair watching grass grow was also more entertaining than last night’s disgraceful display of football.

    This game is a lot like the Dees/Lions game from last week so far, except the Lions are scoring more in a high-scoring game where Melbourne was able to keep ahead of the highest scoring team last week.

    The Dogs are the laziest side on turnovers. Just do not defend or spread at all. Their game plan falls apart if they aren’t winning clearances comprehensively.

    Any direction.

    Running one way then back the other doesn’t cancel itself out.

    Yes. Sadly changing direction often leads to umpires paying the free even if the total distance travelled isn’t too much.

    You clearly see the umpire head down looking at the line not the play. Waste of time for review.

    Entertaining game but skills are not the best. Port will be having a good laugh now.

    Cameron is a first quarter specialist. 

    Small sample size. Getting on top of the Melbourne defence is basically impossible. Let's see what he can do for this quarter and the rest of the game.

    I'm torn. As much as I'd like to see Brisbane win I've already exceeded my limit of hearing John Denver for this century.

    Umpire 22 doing finals is not ok. I assume coz he’s in Brisbane he will go to Adelaide next week? No time to quarantine in WA?

    • 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.
