During the h and a season so many commentators pitted us v cats as the best fwd line in gfc v us the best backline.

Pffff.

In general, it's sad to listen to the commentators (although some - and this is a minority - have a few clues). There seems to be a central tendency amongst the majority of their number to waffle, to forget what they said seconds, minutes, hours and days ago, to present an authoritarian statement or two for cudos, entertainment and self-preservation. In all, a thoughtless process of a redundant calling to appease the masses and ignore the minnows in footballing terms. Geez, I miss Drew Morphett and Tim Lane.

    How important is Ben Brown to our structure. He was immense last night and good to see his goal kicking accuracy improve with the more games he has played with us. 
     

    Bet he is happy he made the move from a wooden spooner team to a gf bound one.

    Mate he’s a fantastic footballer, reads it well attacks it clean hands and has his decision made as before he’s about to dispose of it. Pure class

    He actually appears to be a Salem clone. Solid in the contest, good footy IQ (ie reads the play well and makes good decisions) and is a beautiful user. Some of those passes through the eye of the needle last night were insane.

    I think what Bowey has on Salem is leg speed.

    Our development and coaching (along with recruitment) has been A grade in 2021.

    Tom Sparrow also very good the times he was involved.

    I thought you’d been sent to the Demonland Gulag.

    All the rapscallions from days of yore are coming out of the woodwork. All we need now is @Moonshadowto return and all will be copacetic!

    Yes Col,

    I had to "go away" for a while.

    My eyes are still adjusting to natural light.

    Good to be back in the asylum.

    Going through these threads I could just cry. I can't believe this is real.

    Reports on 774  just now that Nathan Jones is expected to be catching a flight home to be with his pregnant wife. Sad if true as I'd love him to be there, but wish him and his family all the very best. Whether true or not, regardless, thanks Jonesey, sincerely, you've been a light in the darkness and we wouldn't be here without you. ❤️💙

    It was really good not having BT or Brayshaw on the TV commentary last night. I forget the bloke's name that did it last night, but gee I hope he gets the gig for the Granny.

    Jason Bennett. He's a former FOX Footy commentator. He did the VFL on 7 for a while, but I reckon they've realised he's their star. A much better commentator than the majority of them, and when the lead is no nonsense football, it sets the tone for the rest of the commentary team.

    I am hopeful Steven May will be ok with a bit of rest. The "bye" before the AFL Grand Final may actually be a blessing in disguise?

    Have watched the highlights of the game a few times now.

    Max Gawn was unbelievably freakish in the things he did as a ruckman.

    It is definitely a surreal feeling watching a Melbourne team playing so well.

    Anyway, the job's not done yet...

    Was there a footy game on last night. I got a telegram this morning telling me the Dees and Cats were playing in lock out state that cannot be right surely. Can anyone enlighten me please?

    Technically it was only a 39 point win once you subtract the 44 point lead Geelong had in round 23.

    That makes no sense, it's technically a 131  point win, add the 44 points points we came back from + the 4 points we won by then the 83 point win by last night.

    But we would kill for forward line like Geelong according to kingy, they have 3 forwards that kick goals, we have 6

    Joke or not it's still wrong, and not funny because it makes no sense.

    • 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.
