Tmac's game was superb, crashing the contest and ripping down some contested marks with 4 to go along with it. 

Thats the tmac we all know and love.

    Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

    He did have ice around the calf when they panned to the bench, no mention of an injury though.

    Strange Sparrow went to Gaff after quarter time. I wonder why not Kelly?

    Fritta's clean skills stood out in the first half.

    Grundy is settling nicely.

    TMac looked dangerous and three contested marks was good.

    Petracca was great after quarter time.

    Oliver was immense... again.

    Kozzy is class just needed to finish.

    McVee looked classy again.

    Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

    Brayshaw is more at risk IMO

    Is there something wrong with the Optus surface? I’m staggered how often players slipped over.

    Trac’s set shot routine is transformed. Walks straight, holds the ball straight, 3 steps in, 4th the kick with STRAIGHT momentum, no leaning back on it. Seems simple, and it is!

    Frustrating first half rife with skill and decision errors but credit to West Coast who were undermanned but brought the heat to the contest. That explained some of the skill errors but not the decision making when in space and going inside 50.

    Tidied up second half and were never really threatened after the break. Good to see TomMac back, Kozzie finding his way after an errant first half, Trac work his way into the game and some great flashes from kids like JVR, McVee.

    Doubled their score, topped 100 points so it's miserable to complain but still getting used to a team doing just what it needs to do.

    If that Fritta shot went through it would have been 20 goals in a game two weeks in a row. Not bad for a team that has no forward line and can't score.

    Kelly was getting a heap of but kicking at 30% he wasn’t really hurting us.

    This time last week he was hobbling off after the game too. Must just be old age.

    First quarter a bit sloppy at times against undermanned opponents but overall an efficient job well done. Got to also give credit to Tim Kelly, whose lion-hearted effort for the Eagles prevented our midfield from taking even greater control. Overall, plenty of positives, especially with Grundy now match-fit and increasingly dominant at stoppages.

    Solid win even if it was messy.

    I really miss Gawn.

    Over 700 metres gained, not bad.

    Great win Dees.  Very even team performance, and more selection headaches for our Match Committee next week. More than happy with the 10 goal margin and the 15% that came with it.  Onward and upward …….. Go Dees!

    • 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.
