Max Gawn is the demon helmsman. Best performance by a ruckman this season.

    We didn’t start all that great, and it’s probably not ideal that we leaked nearly 100 points…

    BUT

    We were challenged by a team fighting for finals/with momentum and we steered the ship. No easy games from here. 

    Importantly, we found our way to goals and it was exhilarating at times. Petty and Melksham were simply awesome. 

    Even more importantly, very quietly, can you feel us cranking up??! 

    CAN YOU!!??? 

    Go Dees 🔥

    That was a finals type match and both teams had everything to play for.  We prevailed comfortably in the end after being headed several times.  That’s what the fair dinkum contenders do!  Bring on September!

    Great last quarter and Captain Max was amazing.

    Good to see JVR play is best game thus far.

    Same! We're going to be steamrolling them with Clarrie and Fritsch.

    Sparrow, Clarrie and Fritta make that team better on paper, pig too. Going to have some selection headaches soon.

    Credit to goody. Even though Tommo had a tough one, he was rewarded this weekend. And thanks for trialling Petty once more.

    The momentum changed in the 4th quarter. I think we came out to really make a statement. A hard fought comfortable win.

    Petty not a forward hey???? 

    Watch the” Petty can’t play forward” posters jump on the bandwagon now.

    Max was sensational again and Viney is our bull.

    Maybe Binman is right too with the loading, as we certainly ran away from them in the last.

    Hopefully we can now run over teams, right through to the flag.

    No!  he is the perfect Sub.

    He is, but we are also a tall forward short.

    See how many intercept marks Richmond got today in our forward line.

    Keep Tomlinson back, drop Harmes/Woewodin/Jordon and move Smith forward.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
