If Brown and Trac find something we win this well. 
Lobb is such a gun. What a shocking game for May to get injured. Especially with Buddy next week too. 

Buddy could have to answer to the MRO.

    With no May down there, Lobb the worry.

    Just going to have to stop the ball getting down there. Gawn or Jackson may have to help out down there

    Hope so but at least we have Tomlinson ready to go. He'll be ok

    Much better quarter but once again inaccurate kicking.

    Ideally we need goals and behinds at a ratio of 2:1 not 1:1 or worse

    Strong third quarter and ease through the fourth


    Our tall forwards are indeed a worry. None in good form.

    At worst, we could kick in long and high, they just need to bring the ball to ground and let Kozzie and Toby go to work

    Will be hard to hold a mark in the 2nd half. Ground is dewy.

    Freo will come out hard in 3Q so the boys need to be ready for it. Game is nowhere near over. 

    Wish Tommo was the sub but he’ll get his chance next week.

    TMac has been OK of late, shame he's not out there (in more ways than one as he could have covered for May if necessary).

    4-6 we kicked that quarter. Wasted some opportunities

    At least we’re consistent 🤦


    Its an admirable thing to do by the club to get Melk to 200 games.

    One would think he would play a blinder but far from it.

     

    Edited by leave it to deever

    What was our adjustment in the backline?

    Clarry excellent. Maxy, Viney and ANB very good

    Can see why Freo are a low scoring team. Great defensively but very stodgy ball movement and poor accuracy

    Just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over. 65-70 points is more than enough to win today

    That's a big part of the problem though. We're really kicking it on top of their heads a lot this year. Thought we turned  a corner last week, some good signs with forward delivery. Hopefully it's better in the second half.

    Not that that's the only problem of course, but it's the main one IMO.

    People laughed when I said pick van rooyen. Better than either forward below the knees

    Our two key forwards aren't worth a bumper so far. 

    What’s the going price for a bumper these days Old Dee?

    Good question I have been trying to work that out.

    Wow! This is one powerful team!

    What I like:

    Viney: In full beast mode.

    Bedford: that speed is mesmerising.

    Kozzie!!!!

    Max turning it on in the second quarter with his own clearances.

    Petty filling in for May.

    Lever doing great.

    Things to work on:

    Petracca is quiet.

    Rivers has made a few blues.

    Jacko could do a bit more especially with Lobb being so dangerous.

    • 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?

    • 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.
