it is great to see us getting reward for our forward 50 attacks. Great goal kicking. Keep it going Dees.

    Well this 4th Maker's mark is going down well.  The two mountain goat starters didn't even touch the sides.  A bit like our kicks for goal... straight down the middle.

    We're ahead yeh?

    Game by far over. We need to bury this mob. 

    Haven’t seen this footy since the second half of the Grand Final.

    Zorko must have gut punched ANB to make him spew like that.

    Watch Christensen fine ANB for staging.

    Given that percentage IS important (we get to see the Dees at the MCG!) let's f*&ng [censored] them. No mercy. Go the kill.

    The key now is not winning margin but keeping Brisbanes score low. Ie if both teams kick 10 goals in the second half we lose a lot of percentage.

    Yep. We have to keep Brisvegas dry…

    26 inside 50 to each team.

    We are just brutally efficient tonight. Won’t happen every week but you take it when you can. 
     

    We need to put this game to bed this quarter. The Lions will come out firing so we just need to hold strong for 5-10 and not give them any momentum.

    Brisbane brought a knife to a gun fight, and I’m talking the blade on a a pair of fingernail clippers to a 155mm Howitzer.

    TV already making excuses for the Lions tackle on brown. disappointing to see.

    If it knocked only sense into him and no delayed concussion issues, I’m not overly fussed

    ??? 

    He has been for years!

    That was almost a faultless first half. Every kind of entry whether long kick or lowering the eyes we executed perfectly every time. Winning contested ball like absolute animals and 16 shots from 26 inside 50s is incredible. 

    Brisbane getting hot under the collar, I don't know whether it was to find a spark but it is working against them big time. Matthison is such a bin Dipper of a footballer.

    Winning almost every 50-50 right now. I'll be happy if we build the lead in the 3rd then rest guys and take the sting out in the last. 

    Come on Dees, let's Bin Diesel these bottlers!

    What a sight to see us so effective inside 50. The eyes are wide, we're looking for targets, it's manic, we're relentless, we're CONVERTING!

    This is exactly the sort of motivation we need going into the finals. Shots fired, watch out everyone else. 

    Lions = pretenders.

    Now let's bury em.

    Yeah, " momentum of the tackle yadda, yadda , yadda."
    Didn't matter when Chandler got 2.

    I thought up until Max took took those two late contested marks, that he and perhaps ANB and Spargo were the only ones just going.

    The rest have been scintillating. Jackson  May, Kozzie, BBB, Rivers, Langdon, Harmes, Tracc, Gus...

    I don't hate on players instantly like so many on here 😛


    We made need more condiments on table for second half, the boys are in feast mode ❤️💙

    Brissy will have to take it on.

    Can we defend a team coming hard at us and score on the counter-attack. 

    I notice the rubbish default kick to the FP has been turned on its head.

    The default is now lowering vision for the hit up pass...or kicking to the hot zone just outside the square.  The surprise marginal option is now kicking out to the flank or pocket then cutting straight back in on the angle.

    And look at that...we've scored our rough average score for the season in the first half!

    Good to see Harmes playing....a lot of extra muscle with him...Trac...Sparrow and Viney.

    May standing tall.

    Gus 17 touches. Oliver 14.

    I think Rivers has been good 

    My $ on kozzie for 7 Sausages.

     

    Bbb 5 marks...3 goals.

    17 at 35% and many of those awful no look flick or kick out of a pack which almost never works to our advantage…

    Absolutely love the bloke.  HATE his flick out possessions.

    • 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.
