About as many times as he has got them right.

Nah. Not even close. Tom McDonald’s great but that’s his glaring weakness. He over rates his kicking ability.

    100+ win or extra training session as punishment 😜

    Nibbler and Koz started very well. Need to be smart going forward. Barrass and McGovern are both very smart players.

    Great start from the boys. Can’t afford to drop the intensity. 
     

    Midfield switched on today. Still need to clean up a bit on F50 connection, but the pressure has been outstanding in fwd half.

    Perfect game to work on lowering the eyes. Midfielders getting goal side a bit more than they might normally. The eagles are as bad as we were at our worst. It’s bringing back bad memories of them doing  the same to us years ago at the g one [censored] afternoon

    Trac looks intense - trying to make sure the boys play Dees footy for four quarters

    Underwood is the female equivalent of BT


    Just punch it through Dogga. Steven May giving him what-for about that.

    EDIT - or just let it go through! 
    And he's learned and is now running away from the defensive 50 like Cale Morton runs away from Brendon Lade.

    Petracca's blind kick into the 50 isn't good enough there.

    Fritsch should have kicked to Kossie's advantage.

    • 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.
