Got Gus good

I wouldn’t say Fritta’s had a quiet season. I believe he’s our leading goal kicker with 17 (with BBB second on 16).

He was quiet today. I’ll grant you that.

Not sure you could call Fritsch’s season quiet, averaging 2 goals game as third tall (if you can Ā call it that) and has kicked a goal in every game so far this season.

Am guilty of saying he has been average, most goals came over a two week period. I think Fritta is a victim of our expectations, I rate him very highly so probably have unfair expectations of him

Lever - is playing sore

Definitely Chook. Was unable to run to the ball at speed and looked lame at the end as he walked off. Needs to be rested until he is fully mended.Ā 

Ā 

He's certainly been quieter than last year (especially today) but I haven't minded Fritsch's season so far. He's still on track for 40+ goals which would be a great return from a third tall. Also, I feel that he's been involved in setting up his teammates for goals a fair bit more this year.

EDIT: Just checked the stats and Fritta is ranked third at the club for goal assists this year. Only behind ANB and Petracca.

Petty: not his best. (Too many infringements)

Are you joking

I think it's Fritta's last three weeks that have been quiet, but that's ok. Not worried at all.

No. Perhaps read what I wrote and consider it carefully.

I said it wasn’t Petty’s best. I have seen him play better games.
Apparently you think it was his best game.

He gave away four free kicks which I think is too many. (The team gave away 18. The other members of the back sevenĀ gave away a total of five.)
Apparently you don’t think four is too many. How many do you think would be too many, then?

  • 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.Ā  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.
