Thank god that’s over. Terrible quality game. Happy to bank four points and move on.

Well done to Weid on his return. Took his opportunity and was the best forward on the ground.

    Got there - a slightly un-Melbourne scoreline (oppo kicked 70 points rather than 50-60) but we got the Melbourne margin (20-30).

    Told you all that Weideman was a good selection pre game.

    Nah jk I put my hand up. That was like Weideman of the 2018 finals series. More of that thanks.

    Tom McDonald on the other hand is depth now. Casey. Whatever it takes.

    One game I'd rather forget and move on with the win.

    Another very professional win. We were challenged throughout most of the game but we've developed an outstanding ability to grind out wins when we're not at our absolute best. 

    Oliver played one of his usual brilliant games. Brayshaw just keeps getting better every week. He and Langdon have become a killer wing duo. Weideman's earned himself another game. Good on him.

    Gus is Mr Fixit, very happy for Weid. 
    Oliver is sublime.

    Keep banking points.

    Those posters who called an end to Weid’s career in the Casey thread last week, the floor is yours.

    Incredibly frustrating.

    Takeaways: 4 points and Weid looked great and took his opportunity, will be great to have him as another forward option this year. Looked confident, and happy! Gus was good out back. Clarry immense.

    Things aren't clicking yet, but we're 3-0, beaten two top 8 teams and plenty of time to work things out.

    On to Port!

    Weid deserves to stay in next week (from a SW doubter).

    TMAC needs a lesson or 2 in humility. Maybe May could teach him, as he was well humbled tonight.

    Clarry BOG. Brayshaw very good as well

    Well done Weid with 4 goals. Keeps his place. TMac back to Casey to try and find some form

    Bank the 4 points and move on

    Looking at Tommy walking off the ground I reckon he knows what's on the cards - possibly no Ben Brown next week, so he might have one more chance in the side but if Brown is in I reckon it's for McDonald.

    Considering the experience that is out, i will take a 5 goal win. 
    No injuries and 4 points at Round 3

    onward…

    Can’t win a premiership in April, but you can certainly lose one.

    Still stuck in 2nd trying to get to 3rd.

    You clamp down on Petracca and all that does is let Oliver run rampant. We are a hard team to stop.

    I know some posters will flame us for the scrappiness of that effort but "Bang Bang Bang" footy isn't needed at this time of year. Bank the points, reset, recalibrate and move onto next week.

    Very happy to see Weideman do well. He keeps his spot ahead of TMac for sure, IMO.

    Bank the 4 and a great deal of regrouping required before Port in 6 days.

    Last week likely took it’s toll but there’s adjustments to be made and some players that need a bit of a rocket.

    Lever et al. can’t come back soon enough and once Brown returns, TMac is on borrowed time given Weid’s performance. I simply believe he adds nothing for us if he can’t take a mark anymore.

    Pickett can’t live off occasional displays of brilliance for much longer either.

    • 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.
