Great response Dees. Is Brown ok?

Tactical sub, should be alright 

Thanks god for the umpire there, Grundy was standing the mark almost two metres back and the umpire showed him he could come up closer which ultimately is why the Sydney players’ last kick fell short.

    Yeah I think it was just to go with a smaller forward line.

    They need to get the ball to ground in the forward line and not let the Mcartins mark

    I have covid and watching from home unfortunately..... so have to listen to BT and also scare everyone in my house

    Go boys, we have repsonded against a really good side.

     

    How much better is Grundy rucking today, difference mindset knowing you're going in as the no 1. ruck for the game. 

    Yep and I reckon Maxy has probably helped him out a bit this week & probably gave him the belief.

    My husband watching at home said it’s apparently a tactical sub? He seems ok. I assume his knee is a bit sore.

    He has a back injury. Apparently couldn't even bend down to touch his toes

    Unbelievable play by Clarry in that quarter with that handball smother. Best player we have ever had.

    Grundy really lifted that quarter.

    Great finishing by Fritta.

    Langdon really needs to goal from 20 out.

    Loving McVee. Looks a natural.

    This one is far from over, Swans are getting their looks wheb they transition from the back. Need to keep our composure and hit the targets when it counts.

    Grundy has been very impressive. Working his [censored] off.

    The game was over the moment we got out to a 30 point lead.

    Happens all the time.

    8.3 to 8.6 since quarter time - sounds disastrous!

    Did someone say drop from the Fritta? 

    Yeah he was a bit weak earlier, but how classy is he. 

    Look, I’m not saying that it was me… but yeah I made a bad call. 😂

    Or maybe I inspired him… 🤔 

    But seriously, his chasing or following opponent up the ground to keep pressure was poor when I wrote that. 

    what a great Quarter! such intensity

    4.1 up. what could go wrong from here?

    Bbb ...I'm not sure if he's injured.

     

    Was getting beaten pretty soundly in most 1 v 1s but could be an niggle or injury.  Anyone hear anything?

    Certainly lifted since half time

    • 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.
