No one outside our club will ever talk about bowey, or realise just how much we appreciate him. But he is very reliable.

    Credit where credit is due, the suns are giving it everything and pushing us. The key for them will be maintaining this intensity whilst cleaning up their disposals and decision making.

    Trac, Oliver and Jackson look too much for them to handle though. 

    Yeah I mean the Suns are going at 100% we are at 50%. If we can even it up and get more players involved that will be good.

    Rivers knee still not 100%, Gussy hurt his shoulder in that spinorama collision and Smith has hurt fingers on his “good” hand… looks like the injury luck has deserted us.

    The make shift defence is holding up well, midfield was slow to start and the fwds not quite able to hold the ball in as needed to keep the pressure on, great goal kicking though.

    Can’t wait to see how we “muscle up” this last half.

    Hunt having a mare. Needs to regroup and refocus

    Feels that way…is he playing a specific role on someone??

    Difficult to watch.

    A few having a real crack, but almost the entire 22 very fumbly. And those kick around the corner to 3 Suns players is just so frustrating; we haven't seen that ina fair while and it is horrible to see again.

    Jackson, Trac, Bowey, Tomlinson, Brayshaw.

    Rivers should not be playing. His kicking which is usually so penetrating has been horrendous. Langdon running but not getting. Fritsch not going for balls with his name on it. And Suns players waltzing free through the middle time and time again.

    If they had King, we would be well behind.

    I'm incredibly relaxed. IMHO It's all just good prac for our defence.

    Meanwhile Bowey on target for a Rising Star nom.

    Hoping Brown gets a few more.

    Multi of mel/oliver/brown/bowey is on the table!

    Sensational Bowey first half.

    If we have Lever and Salem we would be 6 goals up. Both can play that game. 
    We are running on fumes down back. It’s a makeshift defense with now 2 players who are clearly struggling with injuries. I hope Gus hasn’t hurt his shoulder and is just sore and bruised.

    Very true. Still winning with quiet performances from a lot of the team.

    Hoping his development may free up Riv to have a crack in the midfield over the next few years

    Tracc and Jacko changed the game and Bowey is so smart with ball in hand.!!

    Langdon not himself.

     Viney and Fritta doing little.

    Spargo and Kozzie and Hunt likewise.

    Get them going and all will be fine.

    Need more space up forward.

    Derm has an amazing ability to read the players minds and tell us exactly what they’re thinking. 

    Hey, he was a player from 25 years ago, how could he not know the minds of modern day players.

    Yeah, fair enough. Our backline is showing its limitations due to personnel and May is being well beaten most of the time. Although Tomlinson is doing ok, he is being found out in the air.

    He's had 18 disposals in the first half and running at 89% disposal efficiency and 307m gained for a half. 

    He won't get a rising star this week because he's not a sexy Josh Rochelle or Nick Daicos type.

    • 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.
