Tracca joins an elite group next week and I hope that Clarry can keep his run going. But don’t want him to risk further injury.😢✅💕

TRACC’s 150th game next week!!!

Let’s all hope he gets to celebrate TWO awesome things that night!

On the same night it’s Tommy Sparrow’s 50th (already!)

Be nice if his run continues and 'tracs' like N.Smith's or, even better, B.Dixon's before him, which came with 3 and 4 flags respectively!

As an aside, Jack Crisp up to 185 consecutive games - that streak is starting to get a bit too close to the record for comfort.

Couldn't agree more. Needs to sling tackle someone.

He must be close to burnt out?...

😉

 

Norm's record is pretty decent considering it was WWII at the time!

Michael Hibberd will also bring up 100 MFC games. Big night of milestones!

I asked if that would be included on the banner as well as Tracc’s and Sparrow’s milestones but unfortunately it’s only ever total number of games that gets a mention.
All good though, WE know he’s marking his 100th as a Demon and we love him for it. 

Great achievement. Seems a long time ago that he missed a whole season with a knee.i Must admit I was worried he'd make after that. Glad he proved me wrong

Just a curious thought about the difference between Oliver's consecutive run from debut, and Petracca now getting a stable run at it after a very interrupted start to his career. Gawn and Brayshaw have each only missed five games in the last five years.

Got a whole group of young guys rarely missing a game now, too. Touch wood but it really seems we've got our preventative conditioning sorted out.

Side note; how ridiculous is it that Nathan Jones managed 109 consecutive games starting from 2012. Resilience personified, physically and mentally.

make a seperate little banner for hibba that he can run through between the time he leaves the rooms and arrives in the tunnel onto the ground.

  • 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.
