Zorko reminding everyone how bad of a human he is as well. 🤣🤣

He is a despicable troll. 

 

Trent Rivers is so so so good.

His last 10 minutes was incredible. 1 v 1 he simply does not give up.

Yep total paark head

 

Trac is a lock for All-Australian, Viney isn’t far behind him. What a season Jack is having.

Great win, stick with the BBB and JVR fwd line.  Lever is putting a very good block of footy together.

Think I would prefer Chandler over Spargo

Lever had a stinker? Very few intercepts, turned around multiple times, no attacking drive. Luckily he did just enough to not get beaten on the siren

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 

Amen to that Pennant. There was a feeling of going down fighting and it was something to hang the hat on at least. 

You never wipe the floor with Melbourne, it is very hard to beat us.

Two words…

JAKE [censored] MELKSHAM!!!

Just got home from the ground. My parents are both in their 70’s and travelled a couple of hours to come stay with me and go to the game. The Demons give us a reason to be together and a common passion.

To see my mum and dad hugging strangers after the siren was the best thing I’ve seen all year. And then to walk out of the ground as supporters kept singing the song was magical. It’s only a game, except when it’s not.

Thanks Dees. I’ll never forget that. I owe you one.

Genuinely rapt for Melksham. Has struggled to win over a few fans along the way but like him or not he just forced his way into Demon folklore. Brilliant.

Melksham gained Demon Folklore and my undying respect when he pulled down that fake Luke Jackson Freo jumper and piffed it on the ground in the race they ran out from. That's a Demon Heart there.

Max was a mountain all night. I only fear for his longevity in the game as his body has been taking an absolute beating (illegally so) for the majority of his career.

Agree and that's why, as amazing as tonight was, we should not expect Gawn to play in beast mode every week. When we evaluate the Gawn/Grundy combo, we need to remember that Grundy's quality ruck work during the season has helped preserve Gawn for the end of season. 

28 points down when Max got that high goal. What a captain's goal!!

The most bizarre shot for goal you’ll ever see. It went 40m above the goal post 😂

I’m with @praha. One of the best wins I’ve seen live. Up there with the 2018 finals. 

The confidence we must take from that. We were thoroughly outplayed for large chunks of the middle two quarters against a top 3 side but to continue ti believe and to fight so hard to wrestle the game back is huge. 

Melksham getting deserved credit bur please can we all just reflect on how unbelievably good Petracca is. 26 touches, 4 goals, 7 clearances, all whilst Brisbane mercilessly held and scragged him all night. If he can be this good more forward than mid in a side without Clarry…just imagine when Clarry returns…

IMO it was no coincidence that their second quarter run started when Trac and Viney were stuck on the bench for ages. Along with Gawn, they were just outstanding tonight. 

Rivers to the midfield. Please. More of it. We need more mids. Brisbane got on top through the middle in part because we just can’t go with that many mids given the current make up of our side. 

The stunning win will distract from a few major issues - our inability to stop their transition from back half to scores was concerning, as was our reversion to long bombs to the heads of stationary forwards. But when we move the ball even 20% quicker we look so much better.

Hopefully this is the kickstart of belief, confidence and form we need to run through into September.

I really wanted that win, can’t stand Brisbane.

Gawn was awesome and us much better as the main ruck.

Good to see Kozzie used on ball and thought he worked back into form tonight.

Woeys goal was sensational, but how clutch was Melksham?

Yes it was a good old fashioned roost if ever I saw one.

They're wasting their time if that's the strategy.

Trac is the Norm Smith specialist!!

He will be targeting the Coleman medal, next year. 😃

  • 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.
