    Not sure why Spargo was subbed and not Pickett

    Hope he does something in the last because so far he has been well beaten

    Nothing surer than Collingwood pulling this off now they don’t know how to lose we will need to play some crazy footy to win this

    Umps have been great imo letting them play

    Yea agreed. They missed a couple soft ones both ways. Hope they don’t ruin it in the 4th.

    Our defence was impeccable that quarter. That being said, our kicking into the forwardline needs a lot of work. We can't just rely on our defence to win us this game.

    Always kicking to double coverage on Max. Some very bad habits.

    Yep, even wasting some inside 50 balls. There was one passage of play where he elected to kick out of our fwd 50 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Expected score at half time 33 - 27 our way.

    Inaccuracy letting us down again.

    Other stats supporting that we have a small edge in a close game, leading tackles, takes inside 50, marks inside 50, contested marks, clearances, and contested possessions.

    Collingwood with more disposals - 20 more handballs. 

     

    There is a tactical battle with structures, Collingwood trying to get an overlap on the outside, which they then seem to use to cut inboard while we work to man back up. When they get it, they have scored. When we've denied it they have struggled to move the ball threateningly.

    Scoring a couple of goals from stoppages early was a real boon for them.

    Evenly poised, and it might come down to individual brilliance or team fitness.

    Well we really worked hard to contain the overlap and spare man than quarter. Pushed them wide but cut off options back in board.

    We dominated possession that quarter, +14 contested possessions, +30 disposals, for the quarter.

     

    6 more scoring shots. Those first half misses may come back to bite us.

    But honestly I want to see Pickett contribute something. He just doesn't do enough for me

    Kozzie needs to stand up. And I don’t mean to attempt some ridiculous mark. Somebody. And likely some of our guys will need to do special things to hold off the notoriously fast finishing pies.

    It would be nice to actually walk out of here and not deal with Collingwood scum

    Umpiring has been ok. Joel Smith’s “dangerous” tackle was a garbage call though.

    Should we have bought in Melksham as another scoring option because Spargo and Chandler aren't offering much 

    Yes for Spargo.  He's slow as since returning from the head knock

    Tempting though.

    Having said that, a goal each from Chandler and Kozzy this quarter might just get us the chocolates

    One of our best that quarter

    he was good. 


    Cracking game.

    12 point turnaround there


     hopefully that’s not the difference

     we miss a similar opportunity, they take theirs. Got to take chances against the pies

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
