    Job done, move on. 
    Still feel like we aren’t clicking and seem to lack some polish, plenty to work on. 
    Port next week will be a great test

    I hope Petty and Petracca are playing.

    Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

    10 of those in the first half and then he just stopped.

    I can still remember 2014 when we lost to them by 50 points but it felt like we’d had a dip. More than happy to have the roles reversed. 
    Loved Trent Rivers’ game today. Vins is having an excellent season. 
    Not sure what Sparrow brings. 
    Go away Jason Dunstall. Sick of having him cheer against us.

    Really feel like petty not playing the second half had a bigger impact than I thought it would, doesn't help that the hawks actually decided to stop playing like a U-16 team for 10 mins

    Rivers was best on ground in terms of exceeding expectations but the Big 3 midfielders were just immense.

    Hibberd slaughtered Breust and May, Lewis. The backline was very good. Clearances remain an issue - can’t understand why given the personnel. Real shame that Petty was subbed out - was looking to be a turning point game for him as a forward. Love what Spargo brings.

    A solid win, but after a couple of soft kills we really need a challenge, bring on Port

    Bigger challenges to come. We bank the 4 points and move on.

    Last week was not a soft kill. We got lucky to win.

    A solid win for May's 200th over the horrible Hawks.  Gotta be happy with the result.

    Looks like BBB in for Petty next week

    Tracc 50/50

    That Sicily.... what a [censored] and i don't mean for the Tracc tackle either.  Some of his work off the ball when he feels he's out of the contest is school yard rubbish.

    If you offered me a ten goal win before the game I would have taken it.

    What happened to Trac?

    Rolled ankle.  Seemed unperturbed when interviewed post match.

    It felt like that was the game where Petty kicks a 3-5 goal haul and really gets his confidence up, started clunking them which was nice

    I'm watching back the Kayo coverage and Trac was interviewed and reckons he's fine but just caught in a tackle.

    Hopefully the physios can buff that 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.
