    Grundy's contract was always rubbish from the moment it was signed (in January with a season still to run from memory) - midfielders are different to ruckman and he was overvalued off one good season. Clarry is a multiple B&F, champion midfielder with one flag already under his belt and leading the AFLCA award and warm favourite for the Brownlow and he's only 24. You wrap these guys up the minute you have the chance.

    And not to jinx him, but he’s been remarkably resilient. Has he missed a game since debut?

    What a pleasant surprise!

    I didn't expect this to happen this year with Clayton Oliver signing a long-term contract.

    It shows that Clarrie has a lot of faith in the Melbourne Demons and wants to be part of long-term success.

    Let's hope this signing inspires both Angus Brayshaw and Luke Jackson to follow suit with signing their contracts.

    Time to build a Demons Dynasty with multiple Premierships!

    Whatever happens this year, I think we've just won 2023, with no distraction from Clarry, Dogga or Gus's contract status. Whatever happens.

    I’ve never supported Collingwood.

    But perhaps I was a feral pig or a desert rat, or something similar.

    I would think the long contract gives us a bit of flexibility with our cap.  Run his contract out to his 33rd year allowing us to pay him a bit less in our premiership window years and comparatively more in the back end rebuild years.

    Thank you, Clarry! An incredible career at the Dees already and you’re not even half way through. 

    I remember your first game v the Giants - coming off the bench, being thrust into the middle and winning that centre bounce clearance with your first touch! More than 20 touches in just over 50% game time, most of them contested, so clean, so creative, so courageous. (I and my kids were very cross you didn’t get more game time and also when you were later dropped/managed in that season.)

    Apologies to Robbie, but you’re the best MFC player I’ve ever seen, and you’re only getting better!

    Reminds me of the actor Jack Nicholson telling the story of his mother not appreciating the irony of her calling him a "son of a b*tch".

    For anyone who hasn't seen it, make sure you take a look at what I believe is Nicholson's finest movie, "Chinatown". Then come back and read the post I've quoted and you'll understand why I mentioned it here.

    • 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.
