Kozzie sadly has hardly been even near the ball. Viney dropped off.

Congrats to the Weid.

Think you have forgotten Angus.

Clarrie been our best mid, and that’s where we need to be winning it.

But Gus is having another good game.

Trac needs to play the worker role and let Oliver just run free. Let everyone get a lick of the ice cream Trac, you’ve had yours.

    Desperately need Lever back in. Not just for the intercepts, but to organise and steady things down back. That Stringer goal where he just ran into an open space to mark would never have happened with Lever out there. Smith, Rivers and Hunt ... OK, but they need directing.

    Brayshaw playing well

    Yes been superb.  Just like to see him kick it to the top of the square occasionally coming i50.  A few too many shorties to the pockets.  Just mix it up a bit and keep the defenders guessing etc

    He was better when he was just the small forward. He's now playing up the ground more, where all his energy is just wasted. He's a burst player, and the best place for that is around the goals.

    I though the exact same thing. With lever in the side, that's an easy Lever intercept mark.

    May doesn’t appear to want to be responsible for his man tonight.

    Lead by example Steven.

    I would argue that Smith (despite that one mare) has been our best.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
