    good to see brown was doing good off field.

    A remarkable human being and one of the best people you could ever hope to have at your club. He brings so much to our club and we should be incredibly proud that he plays for us.

    Even if he doesn’t play another game, his contribution next year will be immeasurable. If every young player at our club models themselves on Ben, they’ll be better for it.

    This is without a doubt the funniest post of the season. Well played sir.

    I think we underestimate how hard being a key forward is at that age and doing it basically alone for so many games because everyone else is falling over injured. And then being thrown in the ruck as well. 

    McVee had a phenomenal year, but he was also incredibly well supported by stars like May and Lever. 
    Roo was often a lone hand and did remarkably well under very difficult circumstances. 
     

    Both are very worthy winners. 

    I Don't underestimate the fwd role at all nor what JvR did.  Happy for the kid but that he got himself suspended when we needed him most devalues his year somewhat.

    That McVee is ahead of other defenders says he more than held his own without depending on May, Lever etc

    I actually thought the post that preceded the park bench gag was even funnier.

    His suspension was very disappointing. Ironic too given what Maynard did and got off *don’t mention the war*
     

    He plays on the edge and he will learn from it. 
    I rather that than someone lacking hardness.

    Gonna miss Hibbo. A true character who gave his absolute all every time he played. 
    A really fantastic pick up!

    Nice scoop.

    Hopefully he can have a bit of luck with his knee as we chronically need a forward that doesn’t let us down in front of goal.

    Highlights of our last 5 rounds is brutal for what could have been.

    Petty and Melksham winning us games, then didn't feature.

    Pain.

    JJ will definitely be there. 
    Hope Grundy is too

     

    This school play is literally the most painful thing I’ve sat through since we lost to Carlton 🫠

    are your kids in the play or just going for the show?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • 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.
