Melbourne was in a beastly mood early in the game against Hawthorn at the MCG with eight goals to one in the first half. The Hawks came out of the blocks after half time like a team possessed with three quick goals but the Demons rallied to win by a comfortable nine goal margin. Jack Viney and Christian Petracca were the best of the Demons.

    Our last two games have been repeat matches against teams we beat easily earlier this year.

    We beat North by 90 points the first time but struggled against them for half a game and won by 32 points in the end the second time.

    We beat Carlton by 61 to 44 the first time but they really mauled us in the first quarter and we couldn’t get over them in the end on Saturday.

    What’s with our slow starts and reversal of form lately?

    Is there reason to worry?

    • 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.
