A win is great, and I don’t want to be that guy but we will need to be a lot better against the Dockers and the Pies. Good in patches, but sloppy in others. 

Having said that, Maxy, a million points for his performance. TMac and Tommo good, May good late. Good to see Roo get a few on the board. Kozzie was dangerous and very good in the middle.

Bank the win, but gotta sharpen up from here.

    Good response Dees. We’re in 4th position after 11 rounds which is essentially half way. Could be much worse like being Brisbane.  
     

    Also have Saints improved anything under Lion? They look as average as ever at the moment

    They looked at his foot, but supposedly more precaution than an injury.

    Well it definitely hasn’t been from overuse this season

    Max Gawn forgot he was a 'only' a ruck again.

    Led the game for clearances and score involvements, at 88% disposal efficiency.

    Nod to Nibbler who continues to turn his workrate into real effect.

    Nod to Viney who held the sludge-wave under control during the grotty second quarter when our midfield was well under expectations.

    And a smile and a nod to Salem who has probably done himself a world of good by having such a busy and effective day.

    Most importantly, a much shorter 'tail' this week compared to a number of recent games.

    Kozzie's baby has ear protectors on.  Gets pretty noisy in there for a little bub.

    I thought Christian Salem continued his midfield form despite chopping disposal a little

    Are you one of these people who play Footy without keeping scores, so that people don’t get offended?

     

    The History of St Kilda has no parallel to the MFC

    You need to do some research sunshine ☀️

    How old is Max jnr?

    He looks pretty big already.

    George is three later this year.  After the season is over.

    Max should be put out to pasture with Lauren Jackson after he retires. 
     

    I’ll buy a share and love the F/s when he debuts and wins a premiership

    Makes sense. I thought he was younger. Tx.

    Good to see all the dads with the little ones.

    Tommo great inclusion. Max just huge as always. Petty and McAdam can go in the bin. 

    It's McAdams 2nd game, it's going to take time. You need to go in the bin.

    Not really thrilled.

    Poor last quarter.

    The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

    Sounds trivial?

    It isn't and wont be come final time.

    Very pleased to be wrong about this one I though the Saints would give us a real scare but apart from that burst in the 2nd we cruised through

    Let it go you fool. You can’t let go and get out of your black and white, single lane thinking. 

    Saints have not won a premiership since 1966. Prior to 2021, our club hadnt won since 1964. I’ll  let you ponder on that one. PM me for the answer

    How about having empathy for the under dogs, the ones who have struggled. The underdogs. That should be relatable to you. 

    Hilarious 🤣

    Anyway, my earlier reservations aside, I want to note that we came to win, and that is what we did. That’s important. My positives are that we looked happy out there, as if last week was an aberration. We had moments of brilliance and I hope the boys carry that forward as I still think our best can beat anyone.

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    People need to really lighten up a bit & enjoy a40 point win.

    We’re not head & shoulders above anyone in the competition, we’re in 4th position & will be fighting it out when the whips are cracking with about 12 other teams

    • 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.
