Demons up by 2 points after a Tmac behind from the far half forward line.

Happy with what I've seen so far. It's a hot day in the sun but the boys are working hard, look fit and hungry.

    Field kicking has been impressive. Goal kicking not so much.

    Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

    Few too many 40 out chances when you’d want them inside 30 but we’re getting decent enough shots.

    our game plan just isn’t tear it up free running footy. It’s controlled kicking and burst from congestion runner 

    But a rivers kick to Chandler that set up a scoring shot was indicative of a willingness to attack more.

    It’s really windy here. 

    Is the wind favoring one end more?

    Early thoughts

    - Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal.

    - Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual.

    - TMac imposing early.

    - Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes.

    - McVee had a couple of nice moments.

    Early returns on Pickett mid and Rivers having a rotation are both promising without being spectacular.

    ANB also took a wing rotation that I assumed might be Spargo or Harmes

    Langdon haircut?

    Yep. Harder to make out on the far wing now. Got the buzz cut a few months ago. Doesn't look like he is planning on growing it back.

    Any indication that Gawn or Grundy will contribute when not rucking, or should we get used to seeing one of them on the bench all day?

    One of our better first sixths. 

    8ths


    Grundy, Pickett, Viney and Sparrow at centre bounce. ANB takes Hunters place on members wing.

    Goal to petracca. So quick.

    Edit: might be Hunter on the far wing. Hard to tell him and Langdon apart from distance with Lingers haircut.

    This chick commentating is way better than underwood 

    Jess Webster, yep.

    Seems to have just the right tone for the occasion. Pleased to be there, keeping the conversation going during slow patches without sending it off the rails, lifting the energy a bit for good passages of play but not going over the top.

    I guess the short summary is she seems like someone it'd be good to watch the football with.

    Would need to take a LOT of unidentified white powder before becoming unhinged enough to commentate a friday night game, though.

    Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • 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.
