But but but we didn’t play 4 quarters of footy 🙄

Good hit out and nobody died.

Loved what McVee served up

    We saw a response. 

    Good sign, no doubt it would have been addressed during that third quarter. 

    No injuries positive. Mcvee looks great. Hunter going to change us. Grundy will work into it.

    Trac looks like he has a noticeable limp. @Demonland

    I have always thought so. I think it is just the way he walks.

    Solid game first up. 
    McVee impressive and Grundy will get better, that was his first competitive match for a while. Petty is still very good one on one back there.

    Enjoyed the commentator talking about the Saints needing to find a way past Tom Petty as the spare man down back.

    Hunter prolific

    McVee classy and clean

    Rivers busy - like the midfield move 

    Bowey excellent marking/bodywork for a player of his size

    Grundy a bit underwhelming

    Gawn floating back freeing up Lever is 2021 vibes. Don't have to have perfect forward connection when the other team can't score.

     

    Nice to see the short option at lockout too

    My boy Hunter played well. Loved his disposal.

    I liked Chandlers game as well

    good workout overall

    And I'm not holding out much hope of the Saints surprising Freo in Wk 1. Looks like a long season ahead for them.

    Huuter coped a hit to his leg, late in that last quarter. 

    Lever walked onto the ground at the end, minus a boot.

    I liked Rivers game, was even organising the backline structure, and often first to support/encourage his mates.

    Mcvee looks at home.

    Given the size of his upper body, not really surprising. Then again his quads will also be tough to lug around, just massive thighs of striated meat.

    i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

    - lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes in
    - mcvee replaces salem as small defender
    - chandler required in 23 as pickett given more room to roam
    - grawndy still a work in progress
    - hunter will be a weapon as a second wingman
    - rivers ahead of sparrow and jj as next rotation mid

    Wasn't huge on Grundy today. Thought most of his taps went to the opposition and his disposal was simply meh.

    Still thrilled we got him, hopefully he works into some form before the start of the season.

    Phillipou said he was the best player in the draft and he might be right.  Brad Hill got plenty of it with some good run. Both good dreamteam options. Wilkie was decent. The only bright spots for the Saints, it's going to be a long season for them.

    We aren’t going to play 8 defenders unless one of them dominates this game so Riv will just be a rotation. Sparrow will continue playing good minutes, he was better than people think

    Think a 10 goal win is what most of us would have hoped/expected. 
     

    Trac break tackles with ease, Hunter showing what a draft steal that was, Rivers and Kozzy getting decent midfield time and McVee’s cool defending were some of the highlights for me.

    McVee was great looks to be another great Taylor pick up.

    bowey 1 on 1 was improved significantly 

    hunter a draft steal 

    Grundy and Gawn still combined for 3 goals let’s be honest if that’s a weekly occurrence then that will work brilliantly

    People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

    If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

    • 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.
