Next time we play Port, if we do, I hope Harmes sits on Butters.

our selections against certain teams this year has been somewhat mystifying This was one of them

Harmes hasn't properly tagged since 2019. It also correlates why Harmes hasn't been the same player since 2018 when he became one of the top taggers in the game. His form has since been on a slow decline.

Not sure why some think that this will all of a sudden change.. 

Goodwin has been on record saying that he prefers to back our system and method in the midfield so that we're not solely not focused on one particular player, but more so on a collective group of midfielders.

    The look on Brad Scotts face at the presser is priceless.

    Glad Port won just to see that.

    Houston lucky the umpire didnt give him the hurry along. There was still time for either side.

    It pains me to say it and plenty will hate hearing it but i think the guy needs a fresh start elsewhere. 

    Unless something changes dramatically I don't see him part of Goody's plans unless there is injury.

    Side note; are we the goodies?

    Weidemann was a source of a lot of contention, frustration and the occasional burst of open anger on here, but it was mostly directed at each other on the forum - generally there was a consensus that he was a good human being with limitations as a top-level Australian footballer.

    But.. Essendon fans... so much bile directed at their own player. It's a little bit horrific.

    And this isn't the only comparison - back in the day I had Essendon supporting friends when Melksham was with them and both they are some of their friends were absolutely unhinged about him - every clanger was aprompt for open "[censored] you, Melksham, you [censored]". It's not as if he suddenly stopped being a sometimes frustrating player when he moved to us, but we at least have some restraint.

    I mean, the abuse aimed at Weidemann in the last 24hrs makes Picket Fence v Cale Morton look mild mannered!

    Great post with the perfect dismount!

    CW have changed the game 

    No longer a full on contested game style  which is our Schtik so 2021! The Dees are now poorly equipped to take these teams on

    Pretty bold thing to say given we just beat Collingwood.

    Was expecting a big effort from the Hawks today. Someone must have pointed out that a win might leave them with a chance of dropping down the draft order.

    Lucky to be watching the game from a box.

    Seriously cold here.

    yes understand that lets see how they go the rest of the season 

    we have almost shot ourselves in the foot again this afternoon. Never seen such poor decisions and kicking

    Disappointing that WCE couldn't hang on against the Saints but hopefully this is the start of some competitive performances from them. Melbourne can't rely on other results to get a decent ladder position but we don't need WCE gifting percentage to our opponents either.

    Um what's happening over in Perth? Who is this West coast team?

    Saints still found a way to win. If only we could say the same.

    • 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.
