Can't keep carrying ANB in these sorts of games

Sorry adonski but you have to watch him live to appreciate his value to the team.

It was the lack of htb calls today that killed me.

 

So [censored] proud of the lads!! 😭

Oh, and Mason Cox go back to America you absolute filth!


Viney absolutely huge. Defence was so solid. May, Lever, Thommo, Hibbo was fantastic, Rivers got better and better after a shakey start.

Smith - so happy for him doubling his career goal tally today. Felt he started to look/feel at home at the level as the game wore on. Makes things interesting when Petty comes back.

Roo - crucial goal and did a lot of good things. Fritsch looking much more like his usual self - assuming he's worked through his foot issues from earlier.

Pathetic effort by the Pies publicising the supposed covid +flu sweeping their group this week. If the shoe was on the other foot we'd be crucified in the media for buttressing the excuse train like that.

We dominated that game. Make no mistakes this is the Port game in reverse. We kick straight and it’s a 6 goal win. 
Absolutely brilliant performance missing two very important players. 
 

I want to give a massive shout out to Smith and Tomlinson. Played perfect team roles. 
And McVee and JVR who are delivering beyond their years. 
 

A performance that makes you so proud. What an effort! 
 

Tomlinson has stepped in and played the third tall Petty role (which was the Tomlinson role pre-ACL) very well.

We badly missed that third tall back man while the Petty forward experiment was ruining both the forwardline and backline.

Wow.  Thought May had cost us that.. Very shakey.  

In reality should have been a 6 goal win, but we are devoid of confidence up front.  WHEN WILL IT END.

Defence was awesome today.  Contested ball amazing.

Special mentions to Joel Smith for competing - and the first halves of Judd McVee and Salem in particular.  I forgot how good Salem is, he just calms everyone down and some of the targets he hits, so good.

Disappointing again to get nothing out of Pickett, Spargo & Chandler.  Leaving too much for Fritta, we really need them to step up now.  Brayshaw was awful in the first quarter but battled on and got some useful touches.  Trac built and built but so wasteful!

Still painful to watch but we just beat the flag favourites.

Think I'd need a NASA telescope to appreciate what he 'does'

We just carried our entire small forward brigade.

Amazing coaching performance and team effort. Our structure was set up really well and clogged them up in the right places.

God King is an insufferable [censored]. He used to love us and now sucking Collinwood's d.

Other than that an unbelievably dominant win, should've been 40+ points. We look to be back to our 21' Premiership winning best. We can do it this year, no team is untouchable!

I LOVE our Dees! ❤️💙 Grit and determination prevailed!

We have it over all sides, in this area

If i would ask 1 question....

Is Chocco the best goal kicking coach going around? Its seems it was almost an afterthought when he was appointed. Surely this is an area in the modern game that seems to be overlooked. Cant we go out and get the best we can?


Goal kicking aside, offensive pressure just terrific - Pies absolutely [censored] themselves in there, so did we though but trapped it in 8 times out of 10. 

Not going to pretend that Van Rooyen was best on ground and I'm not going overcook the praise for what was overall just a pretty good game, but...

Van Rooyen didn't miss.

On a level with the Harmes-to-Fritsch clearance kick in the Grand Final for turning point moments.

And as he ran in for the shot he looked... happy. It was uncanny. It was as if he already knew it was a goal.

Umpire pooped his pants in the last ten minutes. Starting with the holding the ball that was called a push in the back. 

Having said that, go you mighty, mighty Dees. With the icing in the cake being a little more light shone on Mason Knobs

Standing over players on the ground. Mouthing off after losing. What a jerk

PI swear it was a bigger crowd 

From AFL Members, lots of scattered pockets of empty seats. 83k seems spot on.

Embrace the imperfections people, we got it done!

Spot on!

It’s still only June - plenty of time to iron out the kinks and perfect our system and structure.

We just put the filth back in their place - let’s bask in that for a while! 

 

Suspect umpiring in the last.  Petracca in the back, Viney not in the back, Brayshaw being hung onto when they got that last clearance.  Almost like they wanted it to go down to the wire.

Shouldn't have been that close anyway.  Good win!

Like Tomlinson down back - is very reliable and good for Levers game. 

one of the weaker forward lines it must be said.  Did well today though.

 

Wow Jack Viney.

You are a BEAST. 

Glad you are on our team. 

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.

  • 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.
