I wish there was more footage of it, looked like something out of Tad Lasso.

I haven't seen Ted Lasso but taking a punt for potential good social veneer. 

A dog does play a part in Ted Lasso

The fictional Richmond FC has a greyhound as its mascot... no more spoilers... fantastic feel good show

    The rude player probably used to read DL and was shocked at all the negativity even during our flag season.

    Come on give us a hint. Its your call.

    May,Fritsch or Hibberd?

    Actually, it’s the complete reverse. The player in question is arguably the player least bagged on DL. Besides that, he couldn’t give a fat rat’s about anything that’s said about him or his teammates. That’s as much of a hint as I’ll give since I know that people who you’d think don’t read DL, actually do. 😉

    Laurie's debut was earlier this year.

    I'm reminded of one of Jack Dyer's memorable comments (about Melbourne's own Lally Bamblett):

    "Bamblett made a great debut last week and an even better one today".

    I wonder if it's the same person who played between 1984 and 1986......

    Does his name rhyme with Lleyton Polyper?

    Edit: JNM got in first. Clarry looks like hes a serious competitor on AND off the field. The Michael Jordan of the AFL :laugh:

    The players who most appreciate the banners along with everything else we do (besides Melksy) are BBB, Langers, Harmesy, Ricky Lever and Brodie. These guys are also hands down the friendliest and the ones who engage with us the most. 

    Choco, Goody and Richo are also super appreciative. ❤️💙

    Conversely, there are some players who don’t engage at all and even one who is notoriously rude to DA members. Not gonna name them but it’s like with any group of individuals in life: some are not as pleasant as others. 

    Thanks for sharing that.

    Not surprised in the slightest about BBB and Lever. Both come across as ripper individuals.

    😂 No, but love the name. Clarrie’s not rude, he’s just shy.

    One of the players least bagged. Clarrie isn’t as friendly as the others but that’s his quiet nature. When you talk to him on-on-one he’s really nice. 

    On a random note did anyone catch the Jack Viney piece they did before the game last week? It was really good. Shows how far our club has come to the dark days when Jack first started

    everyone gets bagged on demonland

    The least bagged players on DL are Clarry, Trac, Max and Viney I reckon. Oh and maybe JVR. Hasn’t done enough wrong yet 😂
     

    I know it’s not Max or Trac. They’ve both been nothing but lovely when I’ve met them before. Viney would probably punch you if you annoyed him 😂

    I think this is the right change for the week, one forced, one based on form. Spargo will more than likely come back in at some point but needs to find some football at vfl level. Don’t get attached to Tommo, I’d think given past selection Petty comes straight back when fit.
     

    Current iteration of the forward line (bar Spargo) gets another turn to see how it goes, before Gawndy goes into the mix in a few weeks.

    Good changes this week.  Spargo whilst has skill, has not had the acceptable output this year.  Petracca whilst playing forward is playing up the ground so Spargo isn't needed for that role.

    Chandler is a great replacement, hopefully can recapture the early season form

    Good changes this week.

    Petty has been injured and in so-so form all year. Might be fitness and constant changing of role. Tomlinson is fit and in better form as a defender. He’s been dominant at Casey too, so good to reward form instead of reputation.

    Spargo hasn’t been in great form. Chandler started the year really well but struggled more recently. Hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity this week and hits the scoreboard again.

    Good changes. Chandler lucky to come back in after not showing too much at Casey but we need his run and pressure.

    I reckon if he kicks a goal or two the wheel will turn for him

    Crows significantly impacted by their outs. Laird is huge

    • 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.
