We dropped by one point then into the breeze. A pretty good quarter.

Just listened to Zanker being interviewed then at the end of the half. Geez she was stuffed and really struggling for breath. I'm wondering if the spicy cough has got her a bit this year. She is such a good player for us and has been out of sorts all year.

    Kate Hore needs to realise the pressure has gone way up this year and take first options. She consistently burns team mates 

    How do you rate Paxman’s first half?

    When Zanker is on, no one can stop her

    definitely seems to be a case of over-officiating

    North really lifted their intensity that quarter.

    We're 17 points up but I'm worried we might drop this.

    I think it will be very close.

    Gotta love him. He can't help but talk about the Dees almost exclusively.

    Can’t see them pulling back 17 points in last, close maybe but am expecting us to win

    they're throwing everything at us and we're holding on

    About 15 inside 50s to North to one for us in the last quarter and we only conceded one goal. Great defensive effort.

    Great win Dees

    She’s been excellent since Mick came to his senses and moved her to the wing at half time last week. New lease of life

    Yes! Very important win.

    Some great coaching moves tonight,  Shelley Heath completely blanketed Kearney. And I like Maddie Gays move to a half back role.

    gillard is a ripper as a tall defender

    I like her game. Reads it very well, punches, uses her height advantage. She’s doing an incredibly job as an 18 year old who was barely eligible for the draft

    • 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.
