After watching the replay and mini match a couple of times since Monday it made me appreciate what a truly wonderful contest the game was on Monday. Keen to hear everyone’s fav moment.

    I chose Fritta’s goal that put us in the lead, because if I didn’t and Pauline found out, I’d be in trouble. 🤣

    I did love the Hunter slamming into WH-E moment, mainly because Lachie stayed on his feet, barely affected and carried on running. Meanwhile, WH-E looked as though he’d been hit by a truck, which he kinda had. 😁

    Hunter has literally gone from one of my most hated players to one of my most loved. He is everything I hated him at the Dogs for and more.

    Toss up between Hunters crushing mark and Vineys spin and pass to Roo

    I picked Hunter. It has been hinted by outsiders that we are a tad soft eg lack of support to team-mates when bullied. This showed we are hard and generally fair.  I also picked it because it is the only one I could emulate when I played 🤣

    If Grundy kicked the goal after the Hunter run through, it might have won moment of the season for me.

    Viney coming off with a bung shoulder and 2 minutes later saying 'Ready to go coach'

    I pick the Hibberd 1-on-1 win, break away pace (at 31 or whatever he is, thank you very much), kick to Smith, kick to a contest (Roo holding free kick), wheel and Grundy mark + goal.

    2nd is any of the numerous Jack Viney clearances.

    I was gob smacked at the time because it's usually not the player with the ball that's handing out the bump. Collingwood player looked like he'd been shot

    Has to be Jack Viney and his pass to JvR. Vines was amazing all day. I’d give him 6 Brownlow votes. 

    That's my pick as well

    Pure artistry at work (poetry in motion)

    If that doesn't get you off your feet nothing will!

    Mouth agape stuff!

    This thread made me go back and watch a highlights video, and I'm having thoughts -

    When May got turned around in that early goal, McVee could have been getting back to support and cover the break a bit better, but only really put the sprint on once the Collingwood player was already breaking away from May. Easy oversight to make, also easy to correct by habit over time.

    May had a number of flawed moments but didn't give away anything easy. He and Lever were also pressed waaaay up the ground from defence on many occassions, and coped well in the chaos. A remarkable effort to keep Collingwood to such a low score, using such an aggressive tactic. Exemplified by May managing to break even in a three-on-one in defence.

    Maynard should send a thank you note to Van Rooyen and the Melbourne legal team, because without them that late whack to Brayshaw's head in a marking contest would have been three weeks.

    Smith's tackle on Maynard to earn his goal was textbook perfection.

    Jack Viney is A-Grade.

    Apart from his first few kicks on Monday I thought that was one of his best games for us. I will be honest though still can’t say I like him yet though.

    The highlight for me, or should I say highlights, was seeing so many pies players on the ground in pain as we relentlessly hunted and hurt them.  We got tougher as the game went on.

    Underrated part of that play was Viney smashing Noble just after his hand off to Judd.

    Two weeks in a row he's put his body on the line for the cause.
    Relentlessly ran his wing last week and maybe half way through the game had run the most kms on the ground.
    Plays like a man with his eyes on the prize.
    I'm sold.

    I liked how we kept kicking points so that the TV audience got the perception of a close game, when in reality we controlled 85% of the contest.

    For context - we doubled their scoring shots from 15 minutes in the 1st to 3 minutes left in the last.

    • 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.
