    How good to dominate the CCS again.

    Tommo has been good.

    Missed Langdon.

    Let's keep this up, kick straight and build some %.

    Steven May constantly coaching Tomlinson on where to run and where to kick. Unbelievable. 

    In a good way, you mean?

     

    This mob are actually worse than I thought. No excuse not to turn this into a percentage boost.

    Leigh Montagnia on the money re Saints dysfunctional backline. 20 goal haul should be in our sights.

    Love to see the day when we kick more goals than points during a dominant period.

    Something tells me you are a glass half empty kinda guy.

    Seems we have decided on a team rule to take the option if there's one just barely inside or on the 50, and accept the difficulty of shots from that distance rather than blast it in and risk the rapid turnover.

    I suppose even if the long-range set shot is a behind, there's plenty of time to set up to stifle the counter-attack.

    8 marks inside 50 in one quarter seems like a lot.

    Touch wood we keep controlling territory the way we have been. Very few clanger-level turnovers.

    Also, is it just me or have Oliver and Petracca been pretty in the first quarter? Hmm, quick odd stat - Sparrow, Nibbler, Oliver and Petracca have less than 100m gained between them.

    Fritsch's work rate seems to be back up.

    Thommo having a cracking game

    He usually does. He's unlucky that he's at a club with May and Lever as tall defenders. He'd get a game as a tall defender every week at any other club in the league.

    and people soccer is dull

    where has the last ten minutes of my life gone??


    Saints aren't good but we ain't that flash. We should pump them as we should have Eagles last week. We are flat flooted too often.

    • 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.
