Much more positive that qtr - great games from Brown Jr and Windsor in their first outing, and Billings ball use has really stood out

    Rivers ball use has been deplorable

    Agree on that,

    Bowy, Rivo, McVee, Billings are going to be integral to our ball movement, would like to see them hit targets consistently.

    Bowey and Billings have been good, surprisingly also Viney.

    I think there were (and are) enough worrying signs against a second string outfit to warrant some panicky posts, pre-season or not.

    It’s our second string outfit too. No Brayshaw, Oliver, Salem, Gawn off the whole quarter, petty, B. Brown, Hunter…it’s funny the argument only applies to our opposition

    But nothing has improved from 2023?

    You can’t reach that conclusion based on what we do in a practice match. 

    It’s not real.

    Has been some good signs and some big flat spots but would be great to finish off with a bit of Thorstrop magic

    Game day threads haven’t, that’s for sure.

    It’s not even. It’s a match simulation 

    True, this is even less real. 

    I mean, what are we playing here, seven “quarters”?

    Did anyone notice any changes or influence, McQualter made on the mids?

    By definition an opportunity to dance with someone else’s sister.


    Anyone here that still think Laurie is an AFL footballer is out of their minds. He had two goes at it then and coughs up a goal. Been unsighted most of the day and when sighted, made many errors 

    K Brown very impressive. Probably starts off in the VFL with such a slight frame though. (I think!)

     

    Bill Laurie… that was a poor passage mate

    Jack Viney has been our best by far today


    Edit: I misread a post and responded to it with confusion. The post was about Laurie so it seems I may have been channeling his play today.

    • 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.
