6. ANB - Never stopped trying

5. Oliver - Our only midfielder who seemed to get his hands on the ball consistently

4. Pickett - Always exciting to watch.

3. Salem - Decent return from injury.

2. Petracca - Had some good moments but went missing for large portions of the game.

1. Fritsch - Our only winner in the forward 50

Sorry dubdee but kozzzy seriously ran in circles most of the night.  Turned in 360 degree circles and uses his left foot to spray the footy.  Had 3 golden chances for goals in the 3rd quarter.  Had some good moments like run and pass to McAdam.   But not our best. Not even close. 

It’s been a very long time since I’ve cast votes after a loss like that one, but I’ll have a crack:      
6.   ANB  -  continued his excellent season.  Busted his gut all game, and imo, was our best by a fair margin. Won plenty of the ball, and used it constructively.
5.   Viney  -  can’t question his endeavour, but disposal was questionable under pressure.
4.   Fritsch  -  our only forward.  Thank goodness for his set shot kicking
3.    Pickett -  always looked dangerous around the ball, but often tried to be too ‘cute’ when he had it.    
2.   Oliver  -  got plenty of the ball, but not damaging with it.   
1.   Salem  -  nice return after injury.  Good second half, and used it well.

No wonder we were soundly beaten!!

Just so tired of watching kicks go over heads, or bounce short, or hospital handballs or guys who just slam it on the boot when they have time. By the same guys week after week after week.    We had 36 inside 50s for the game against a bottom 4 side on a dry day.   The list above represents disposal efficiency.

Best 7 were Gawn, ANB, Pickett, Rivers, Viney, Oliver and Fritsch, but all were a fair way behind the Eagles best.  Probably go:

6. ANB

5. Gawn

4. Pickett

3. Fritsch

2. Viney

1. Rivers

Having said that, it was a poor a performance as we've seen since the dross we served up in Cairns in 2020. May - worst game in a very long time and he had plenty of mates.  Our mids were flogged by the Boy Wonder and his counterparts.

May received just 26 AFs!

26!

Maysie, we love you and need you.

  • 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.

  • 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.
