    The occasional spark, mostly Kozzie - a star - but we seem down on basic confidence and dare. Still waiting for the Demons bulldozer to start up…it’s possible but hard to replicate a finals run like last year.

    Great performance by our backline. May and Hibberd in particular were rock steady and Tomlinson looked at home in the absence of Petty.

    Kozzy has been threatening to tear a game apart like this since his first year. Unreal performance.

    .having not seen a second of this game did we wear our indigenous jumper seeing as we were in the Alice?

    No Oliver no worries. Will be a handy in next week.

    4 points that's all we need

    Why can’t Salem kick?

    He's lost his skills space jam style. Mongrel kicks and touched off the boot multiple times. May not much better

    Fair dinkum, it’s hard to please some people. Those who want to keep digging for negatives good luck to you, Mondays are always better with a win.

    No one said doing a repeat is easy, most should be happy we are at least giving ourselves a chance.

    Those thinking the win was average or not too impressive. Port were 7-3 coming the game. If they lose they are basically out of finals. They had only one injured player

    enjoy the win guys

    Just glad to get the win against a plucky Port without Clarry.

    Absolutely DZ. I prefer to think this is the kick start needed.

    We’re the worst 13-4 team! But a win is a win.

    Given there are only two 13-4 sides with just a few % points between them I would say we are equal best...

    How is levers shoulder?

    Didn’t want to raise his arm during the song to put it around May’s shoulder. So not good 

    Very brave to play on. I reckon he’ll be out next week. Hopefully only one week but who knows

    What a grinding win that was.

    Kossie, you are a little ripper. 3 Votes for you.

    Forward connection still a problem. Thank heavens for our backline.

    Melk.... your chase/rundown was something i didnt think you had in you.

    I'll take that.

    I liked it, too.

    Traditional today and thats the way it should be outside of the designated indigenous games.

    Solid win without Petty, with Lever injured and obviously without Oliver, considering Port can still make finals.

    The season is a grind at times and this game exemplified it.

    We werent much better last year at this point. Just grinding out wins - which is absolutely vital. It’s frustrating to watch when you know we have other gears. But at the end of day, regardless of how we win at this point, supporters should be happy. Top 4 is the aim. We have some big games coming up.

    • 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.
