Really professional win v the Hawks.

Played a great team game. Didn't get put off by their faux toughness tactics

Let them over-possess the ball before we turned it over time and time again.

Smashed them in stoppages. Killed them with pressure. Covered some big holes in defence with ease.

Great camaraderie that we haven't seen since '21

They look like they have steely determination  

Go Dees

    I just finished watching the Replay. 
    The “Love Affair” with the Wizard was embarrassing. 
    Who is this nobody?

    A nickname such as The “wizard” needs to be earned through extraordinary deeds on the Field. 
    To call this newbie the wizard was absolutely disrespectful to The Great Jeffrey Farmer, who was indeed a Wizard.

    Dunstall pondered that Fritsch wanted number 31, after being drafted at pick 31. Then noted, it's odd because it is nit as though 31 is a popular number. Huddo jumped in to remind him that the number 31 is actually quite famous at Melbourne. 

    This isn’t true, anyways. Fritta wanted #35 since he and his dad wore that number throughout their time playing for Coldstream. #35 had already been given to HP so he took #31 which of course he’s happy with.

    Multiple broken ribs and “minor” vertebrae damage. Not good.

    I only know what was reported on Kayo. Three broken ribs and a fracture of a vertebra. They said he’ll definitely miss both Adelaide matches and “probably a couple more after that.”

    I’ll be going to Gosch’s tomorrow so I’ll see what I can find out.

    May back for Anzac Eve would be a great result if the injury is as severe as it sounds.

    Currently 10th on our all time goalkicking ladder, should pass Yze soon and could get the Ox and Greg Wells this year too - I’m not as worried as some about defensive efforts, he knows what his job is

    How is Norm Smith not on this "all time goal kicking ladder"?

    Neither Watson nor Farmer gave themselves their nickname.

    Similarly, both had that nickname before they were even drafted.

    It's not the kid's fault.  The commentators, on the other hand ....

    Very good point. Turns out I was in the modern stats side of AFL Tables that starts at 1965 - on the all-time all-time list Fritsch is down at 21. Rookie mistake by me..

    Agreed. Did you hear the line about Kozzie? "He's been good the last 2 weeks after a quiet game against Sydney" He clearly didn't remember Kozzie was suspended for the Sydney clash. The rest of the commentary team fell silent after that line 

    Most commentators have no idea about football these days.

    I suffered broken ribs about 13 years ago. Ouch!! I've never fully recovered.

    Langdon took a season and a half to recover fully.

    Same here, so painful. Took me about a month to be able to turn over in bed. Don't know how these players come back so quick

    He's getting dementia and forgets names of players regularly. Speaking of dementia, I am not sure he was captain when he left. I thought it was Ditterich to Robbie to Greg Healy to Lyon

    Yes you’re right. I got my Healeys mixed up. However he did win a B&F and leading goalkicker for Melbourne and then more than one B&F for Sydney and a Brownlow for Sydney. And his brother was captain of Melbourne at one stage!

    Nope, the padding is counted as the post.

    thanks to those who commented. It seems the line is marked at the back of the padding, so no goal for Bennie.

    Yep. So if the padding hasn't been attached properly and is dangling off the post by half a metre and the ball hits it then that would be hitting the post.

    Stay tuned for this future controversy when it happens..

    • 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.
