May went down right in front of me, and from my vantage looked like ribs. He looked very, very sore.

Personally I think we are playing terrible football.   Hawthorn are shirt. And we let them get close 

Sam Mitchell’s gameplan is play ugly, play dirty

    reckon having wizard as a nickname is a hinderance rather than a help coming into AFL footy. You need to earn a nickname like that.

    Didn't do Jeff Farmer any harm.

     

    Good half. Smashing clearances and contested ball. Setting up incredibly well behind the ball, so much that the Hawks can't even move it. 

    Scores from stoppage healthy.

    He was definitely down for quite awhile. Didn’t look good 😬

    Hawks came out hard in that quarter. Our defence stood up really well. Need our mids to get back to basics.

    Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even.

    Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on.

    Need a better third quarter

    No, it's playing to a plan when you don't have the cattle you make sure the opposition don't score.

    Lower the eyes going forward. Maybe have a defensive forward on Sicily, or even a decoy forward to try and drag him away from the ball.

    Anyone watching at home; any updates on May? 

    In a lot of pain, no plan of being subbed just yet.

    I've just watched the replay on Kayo, but haven't been following the half time updates.

    It looked like rib area was hit and that's where he grabbed, but the impact seemed a bit broad (shin/leg against side of body) rather than sharp (ie knee point directly digging in).

    I'm not a doctor or biomechanist but it looked more like a heavy collision than sharp rib impact. Hopefully bad bruising or stitch from impact rather than anything more serious?

    He looked a lot better when resting on the bench.

    Only 1 goal that quarter.  Chandler and Brown not doing a lot

    Agree re Brown.  Not reading it as well this week? 

    Chandler's brought immense pressure around the arc though imv.

    For a small fella he does struggle to get away from his opponent on the receive at times and capatilise which is a tad worrying.  Not easy at this level of course.  Needs a bit more strength through legs & core maybe?

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
