Gawn is playing hurt and it’s honestly going to cost us in finals if he’s still not right.

    Big second half coming up here, are we up for the fight and potential shoot out? We'll see. Come on Dees!

    They have 2 days more break. That is worrying.

    Milk will sort em out.


    Umpires did all they could that quarter but the boys stood up. That knee in the ribs hurt Max. Jacko to play most of this quarter in the ruck.

    This game is not looking good for us. Yes we are in front but we are incredibly efficient in f50 which is weird and unusual for us.  Dogs owned us in that Quarter. 
     

    We need to tighten up defensively. We need to kick at least 2-3 goals to win this game. Dogs will come really hard this quarter.

    Play him forward for the high long ball. Need a big effort from the skipper

    may has to stop kicking the ball out to Max when English is there with him, he gets pushed out of the contest and english has longer reach, go around, find another avenue to move the ball on. we have so many returns to our kick ins because of the same thing. good finish to the quarter, but frankly they ran over us in that quarter thankfully they were kicking astray. we need to finish them off asap.

    Long 30 mins to go, feel there's still a lot of goals left in this one.

    Hopefully the warmer NT game and shorter break doesn’t hurt us in the fourth….!!??? 😬😬😳

    Thought our defence held up pretty strong considering how much it went in there forward line.

    We just need to get back to what we did right to get to 27 points up.

    Come on Melbourne. We cannot drop this game.

    Melksham could've given one off to Kozzie instead of snapping from 40

    But I bet nobody starts a 10 page discussion about how selfish he is. 

    No signs of Gawny being hurt, he’s just getting beaten. Not sure where Dogga went that quarter??? Gotta even up at the contests or start winning, or they’ll just wear us down.

    Actually think he’s been great until that huge knee on the back in the 3rd.

    Which means there’ll be loads of chances on the counter.

    • 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.
