not a vintage performance but we got the 4 points. that's all that matters

umpiring not good. so blatantly biased. 

looks like May pulled up ok. played well and totally vindicated decision to select him, particularly first half.

4-1 is a great start to the season. we're in a great chance this year folks make no mistake.

Go Dees.

    Never had the misfortune. Can't imagine it'd be fun if you needed to force one out

    Said pregame I didn't care how it looked, just wanted the 4 points and no injuries. 

    Really annoyed at Kozzie tbh. His lack of discipline really hurt us in the sf against Carlton last year and he still does dumb stuff like that. 

    Still very pleased overall though

    I reckon we ran out of petrol off a 5 day break.  Did enough to win, then shut it down.  I’ll take the 8 points and roll on.

    Picket doesn’t seem to have learned anything from his last suspension. 

    Looks like he might miss a week again. 

    He needs to learn from his mistakes.

    That certainly wasn’t pretty and a lot of players well down but that is a great result.

    No reward for our tackling.

    Well done backline.

    Adelaide, mostly individuals, trying to win it by themselves.

    Absolutely. I totally wrote him off at the start of the year, he is looking so bloody solid.

    Good to win in different ways. Kicking for goal was very ordinary tonight. 

    Good team effort. Loved Howes in the last.

    Petracca best on ground.

    Fritta three goals in third.

    McVee in first half.

    Well we definitely know how to win ugly.

    Lets hope for a change and turn it back in to poetry next week

    We were absolutely cooked in the last. We put the foot down in the third knowing we would run out of gas in the last. That last quarter was just professional defensive slog. Brilliant. Don’t underestimate how tough these two games were.

    Just hung on. Our talls helped out with some last gasp marking. We were tired from a frantic port game.

    Job done.

    Huge games from Trac and Maysie.

    Jibba nails those two first half sitters and it doesn't even get close. 

    Poor old BT sounded so deflated at the end. 😂

    • 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?

      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.
