Really interesting watching this. Hard to tell how we are doing because the Saints are seriously struggling. Ross Lyon has a huge task ahead.

Our general game play, positional strengths and all-ground defence is looking good. Hitting targets across the ground looking good. Our choosing and hitting targets who are 25 - 40 metres out continues to be a work in progress. A bit disappointing.

Chandler, Hunter and McVee very, very  impressive. 

Grundy looking rusty. I am really wanting to see JVR, but TMac and Brown doing everything right.

    Kicking skills.  Will be our most exploited weakness yet again in 2023.

    May has 3 weeks to stop [censored] himself under high kicks. That was awful.

    Pickett’s ball use has been poor. I get he’s keen to impress but he has to take better options and not try to reinvent the wheel

    Lack of two way running now is costing us. I am giving them a break because it’s 900 degrees.

    A few real howlers in the past 3 mins going into half forward from people like Kozzie, Chandler and others.

    If you aren’t seeing May drop his head and spill marks when going back with the flight way too often then you aren’t watching close enough 

     

    Good to see we changed up our forward entries, we go to left pocket....oh wait

    Ground announcing saying 5Q’s to go. That would mean a full game for the Casey lads

    The old 'let's stop playing after we're comfortably ahead' never fails to disappoint! 

    Love how Richo said during the week that this was something the boys had been working on to fix over summer. 

    Let's see it then ey.

    I’ve been sitting comfortably in the shade and I’m finished. 

    If the Saints want to wake up and bust a gut now in this heat them all power to them.

    In any other conditions I’d agree but it’s [censored] hot.

    Saints definitely had the scoring end and we had Oliver at half back, plus a few ordinary turnovers. It’s not all effort

    The commentators keep saying it's 8 periods today, but all the early official info was only 6.  Anyone know whats actually going on?

    Petracca with a set shot early in the 4th. And he....  nails it.   73-38

     

    Kick to hot spot where there was lots of numbers.  ANB had kept his width though.  Ball got out to him who went back to Gus who had drifted forward who dropped it into Trac about 35 out.

    • 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.
