If May did not give away those stupid frees, it would have been close to his best game in the red & blue.

Love Buddy's grumpy and shocked face every time May intercepts a mark.

I wouldn’t worry about it Dee, I have absolutely no idea of the meaning of what you have just said!


Serong gets 10 votes, Andy Brayshaw zip.

While the stats wouldn't support the votes both coaches saw it the same.   Looks like it was the clearance work by Serong.  Perhaps the clearances were critical times that turned the tide. 

Reckon Andy would be disappointed to not be in the votes at all given that 7 players got votes.

Some key stats there are 10 clearances to 0. 6 tackles to 2. 

Brayshaw played well, but he was more a link man off half back flank and not a massive impact. Serong was in everything all over the ground. He started everything for them winning it and going forward and locked it in when he didn’t win it. He had a much bigger impact on the match than Brayshaw and all others on the field. It was a brilliant performance and made me very envious of Freo having him and Young on their list. Both are superb young talents who have now stood up on the big stage of finals.

*If Franklin wasn't such a masterful flopper. 

 

Credit to May, really did play a brilliant game. Personally thought Petty wasn;t far off but well done to the big man.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
