    It's hard to admit, but our reject ruckman has outplayed Max tonight.

    Disgraceful 

    Brundy is an AA ruckman, probably the second best in the league, and had a point to prove.

    Poor Windsor. He'll learn from that. 

    He was sold out by his team mates who didn't talk at all.

    Oliver no way his ready 

    So would you prefer him not to play, and have another Spargo / Laurie / whomever in hi space.

    26 disposals is modest by his standards but a decent contribution nevertheless.

    Our worst loss all season in 2023 was 15 points. We're already worse off and defending hasn't been our main issue tonight. It's gonna be a slog of a year.

    It's a bit flattering. Sydney's kicking was woeful for a quarter or more.

    We look like we're going backwards.

    The B graders are working us out now.

    Well we have a week to see if the media is right.

    On tonight's effort, I'm thinking they may be.

    Probably only six or seven can hold their heads up today.

    Nothing in the slightest has changed up fwd.

    How are we going to score this year?

    Jvr looks like a first gamer.

    A purple patch from Fritta.

    It doesn't look positive.

    We can only hope Petty plays a full season.

    Unfit and fatigued 

    This 

    This may be the last season of Gawn at the top, hard reality coming to us at Ruck in the near future.

    Salem in the midfield hasn't seem to have been as good as I thought 

    He doesn't have the physicality or the tank. Maybe try him at HF?

    Sydney aren’t that good so a big worry for us. If anyone mentions training loads and is serious I’ll spew up!

    Let’s not forget early in the year last year we looked terrible in the northern states playing in humid conditions. It’s not our go.

    stick together.

    Clarry needed the run and will get up to speed quicker playing AFL.

    • 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.
