Posted the below on the game day thread and it’s directed towards a few who have already posted on here

 

 

Been saying it forever some of you so called supporters are a disgrace and need to have a good look at yourself 

Maxy take a bow

Trac likewise

Melk good defensive forward effort

Boys showed a lot of courage tonight

Took the game on and yes at times they got burned on the rebound but it is a coaching (yes coached) directive we really stood up in the last quarter thought we may have blown it with those early last quarter misses, but a fantastic win

Do we take Jack Viney for granted ?

    There's a thread about media bias.

    Could care less about media bias.

    But the ridiculous bias against us by some posters, who supposedly 'support' the dees, and just parrot the medias weekly talking points, does my head in.

     

    I love my Dees and I’m not totally biased to our flaws, but even if we lost tonight I loved that we stuck at it and kept within striking distance. JVR and Brown weren’t great but they continued to compete. May had some horrific moments but was important late.

    Most people learn from their mistakes but the usual suspects will again next week be posting garbage on the game day thread vs Adelaide

    Wow. What a great effort to claw back all the momentum in those last 20 minutes. So proud of the team despite some criticism during the game 😬

    They are keeping Clarry out so that Trac can get the Brownlow votes every week. 😁

    Surely Joel Smith gets picked in the starting lineup next week.  Another frindge type that tries his guts out, plays in the right spirit and just keeps preserving and putting himself forward.

    I think he still prefer him up forward.

    But when he came on he made our backline much more assured then Petry did.

    Petty needs a few weeks spell.

    He’s just a born leader and warrior, never gives up. That goal was purely wanting it more than his opponents

    Cant be dropped now! 2 wins on the trot on the way to a premiership!

    What round did Jake Bowey come in during 2021?   Woey Bowey has a rhythm to it.

    Joel Smith the perfect sub. 

    Certainly very versatile substitute option but may have earned a full game next week.

    Grundy getting dropped cost Trac the three Brownlow votes tonight. 3 votes Gawn and 2 votes Trac.

    The last quarter ball movement was inspired and what we need to encourage.

    Jake M was huge defensively and then was huge when we needed to compete.

    Gawn was amazing and as much as he thinks he ‘wants to make it work’ - this performance will stick with MC… 

    Goodwin and co. are infuriatingly stubborn but they have done a number of things to get us out of our slumber; CP5 forward, Grundy out to allow Gawn to recover form, Rivers into the middle with a licence to kill or be killed through the middle, etc

    With Brown back and Petracca and Melksham we look better IF we move it quickly. 

    Now spend the next 6 weeks doing that and we are back in business.

    Please let it be Petracca and not N Daicos, sick of the media dribble with that kid.

    The big boys against the big boys:

    Port 2-1

    Collingwood 2-2

    Brisbane 2-2

    Melbourne 2-2

    We’re in this thing ladies and gents!

    And within a fraction of 3 - 1, although Collingwood would somewhat dubiously claim the same.

    I don't think Whateley was far wrong. Defeat tonight would have been a big psychological blow and could have left us in a potential logjam of teams battling to make finals.

    Wasn't it Whately who memorably extolled Petracca's dribbler in the '21 GF as being "TRULY from the top shelf". He still has credits for that...

    I love our ‘never say die’ Demons.  What a magnificent exhibition of character, guts and determination.  I feel so proud of our boys!  Max and Tracc sensational all night!  Every other player had great moments. Jees this Cognac is good!

    The strategy of replacing Grundy with an additional Max Gawn worked wonders.

    Another two Brownlow votes for Petracca.

    We saw a Full Melksham tonight. The ultimate football compliment is when you out-body your opponent so well the umpire just assumes you've pushed illegally and pays a free.

    Also, a full evening of Joe Daniher doing Joe Daniher things is always entertaining in a 'never again, please' way.

    And I swear, if they ever put Jake Lever into one of those kids football ads, they won't need to get a kid in, they can just use tonight's footage of him bouncing around yelling 'Did you see me, Mum?' after the siren. 😁

    It is not a small coincidence that when Rivers was up we were up and when Rivers was stagnant we were stagnant.

    As good as Smith was when he came on, I think Tomlinson is a better matchup for Tex.

    Feel like I’m no closer to knowing if dees are legit or not after tonight’s game

    We are legit mate.

    Mark of a great side to grind away and squeeze out wins when you're not 100% on top of your game week to week.

    • 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.
