POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs North Melbourne

Very ordinary game however there were positives. Nibbler’s continued effort throughout the game. JVR playing his role and now showing good follow-up with his ruck work. McVee is just a cool cat.

Take the 4 points and move on.

    I thought that was a good win. Tasmania is a horrible place to play and North are far from terrible over there. It's almost scary how similar today's game was to the last time we played them in Tasmania.

    Pickett's last month has been exceptional. He couldn't have picked a better time to get back into form.

    I'm worried about Petty's injury though. He just can't take a trick.

    Pointless IMO trying to pick final four spots at this stage with so much to play out. 

    Similar draws for us and Lions but injuries (to own and opponents), grounds (Lions today and at Marvel) and us in Sydney etc.

    Viney BOG for me. Stood tall and lead from the front when we were not switched on.

    10 clearances, 10 inside 50s

    An absolute beast

    Just saw on the broadcast Lever seemed shocked by whatever Petty said to him

    No he didn't.  In fact petty didn't look like a player who's missing finals. 

    Optimistic.

    Ruck round?  really?

    is it small defender round next week?

    After a frustratingly slow start the Demons have rocketed into the Top 3 on the ladder with a victory over the North Melbourne Kangaroos by 32 points in Hobart.

    We're 2nd.

    We got an unnecessary scare, but took the points. Might have only been against second last, but North came out hungry and we steadied. Good teams do that. Better teams don’t need to (we need to start games ON).

    But ultimately it’s a day marred by an injury to our already depleted fwd line. Petty has been an absolute dead eye, I hope it’s not too bad and he’s at least back for finals. We’ll need him. 

    Otherwise, Kozzie BOG, easy. Viney awesome, he’s having a year. Chandler good. ANB very handy. Melksham unlucky all day, but was involved despite stats not showing. Harmes bad. 

    Backline will need to start switched on next week against the Blues. Can’t give up goals like that.

    Anyway, we push on. Go Dees!

    Win is a win, we don't need to gain massive percentage IMO, I think it comes down to either us or Brisbane winning out for 2nd, Brisbane have a harder run on paper but who knows.

    Good job, well done Dees.

    I think you just have to give us credit for the character and ability to dig in today. Collingwood have been getting credit for it all year and it looks like we are building that aspect and never say die attitude too.

    Sometimes a good scare is not a bad thing. I hope we will learn from this and bring our A game against Hawks in two weeks.

    Glad we won but Q1 and Q4 were embarrassing. 1g 6b in Q4: have the goal-kicking yips returned? And some foot passes in Q1 were awful. It was like we were trying to kick it to North Melbourne! Kicking coach: hellllpppp!

    Good thing Harmes is getting replaced by a certain someone for this next game

    Definitely some Clarko factor in that first quarter and a half. Therefore a good response to have the 4 points effectively sown up at 3 quarter time, unlike Collingwood who couldn’t maintain their momentum yesterday.

    Good coaching resting the stars in the last quarter, albeit at the cost of percentage.

    Fair to say we’ve done our service for football by playing in Hobart 5 times since 2016, 6 if you count the fact that we were also scheduled there in COVID 2020. A little more than Collingwood and Essendon who have travelled there about zero times in that period.

    Max said it best in the post game interview, playing footy down there is true footy. Crowd doesn't really have an impact and its always a contested competitive game.

    First quarter was an absolute disgrace. A combination of arrogance, laziness, disorganisation and Clarkson’s sugar hit.

    No issues with the last quarter. Goodwin put the cue in the rack at 3 qtr time by giving Gawn, Viney and Trac major bench minutes.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
