Fair analysis although maybe a bit harsh on Grundy. I thought he was very good in a couple of his solo ruck games. Gawn as a forward failed miserably though.

 

 

 

Chandler - great start dwindled

Grundy - didn't fit, sadly

Lever -  solid and reliable

May - dee fensive leader

McDonald - body failed him

McVee - hard work rewards

Melksham - sad season's end

Neal-Bullen - consistent, great contributor

Oliver - sorely missed midseason

Petracca - needed up forward

Petty - revelation until injured

Pickett - needs to focus

Rivers - fabulous consistent defender

Salem - thyroid or knee?

Schache - can;'t teach hardness 

Smith - improved every game

Spargo - needed first final 

Tomlinson - essential third tall 

Turner - needs more gametime

van Rooyen - solid debut season

Viney - never say die

Woewodin - looking like dad

thanks JoeBoy for anoyher season of reflections.

 

May - give him Bluey !

 

Thanks 'joeboy' for another great season....

The first & sometimes only post I go to after every game.

Not blooding JVR during the season last year was one of the biggest mistakes Goodwin and co. have made. Even 4-5 games would have been sufficient. VFL performance dictated it. Would have been better for the run. Woewodin got invaluable experience this year (and probably should have played a final).

EDIT: Woey should have probably replaced Langdon halfway through the year for a stretch of 6-7 games. Felt like him playing in the same squad as Huntet and Langdon was detrimental to both him and the team.

  • 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.
