in Melbourne Demons

Once upon a time there was the real VFL. Non-performing umpires who made rule interpretation stuff ups were sent to the bush. In the hope improvement was possible or they’d simply disappear. So ends today’s fairytale.

    Billings with a nice dribble goal in the wet puts Casey up by 4 points.

    Jefferson watch:

    4 touches

    3 marks

    1 goal

    EDIT: 5 touches with an outstanding pass to McAdam who misses

    Nice kick from Jeffo to set McAdam up, feels like we're seeing improvement from him each week now

    Casey system looking good, but terrible conditions making it a slog. Jefferson persistently presenting and they are finding him. Our smalls looking good.

    Opponents arms pinned ball release is neither by kick or handball. Play on what happened to HTB?

    Kentfield has a set shot and somehow hits the very top of the goalpost.

    Sestan good mark but is he at the crossroads in the next few months?  

    Just isn't getting alot right, other than the odd opportunist goal or goal assist and the work rate / skills / positioning and defence are pretty average.  No speed across the ground either.

    Adams looking like he might be a bust?  I just can't see any weapons or skills that would see him capable of stepping up to AFL level.  He barely impacts at this level.

    Another BS rule ‘amendment’ full back can run 20+ meters to kick out after behind. Complete the farce erase or enlarge the goal square.

    For me Sestan is all about his fitness capacity, because he needs to be able to cover ground AND have burst speed to play his role.

    So I reckon an extension for Sestan is about whether they thing another preseason is what he needs, rather than pure talent.

    The more accurate Bullants lead 6.2.38 to Casey 4.8.32 late in the second term.

    I’m looking after my iPhone in the wet up here so reports are not going to be made regularly through the afternoon.

    Too laconic for mine though deanox.  The 'want' / work rate factor, even at this level, just isn't there this season.  In very small patches...yes occasionaly.

    I know people are keen to write Laurie off, but he is as hard as a cats head.. some incredible tough efforts in the wet today. would love to see him have a look at Chandlers spot.

    he doesn't provide the defensive pressure

    laurie will either make it as a mid at afl level or he'll have a long vfl career a la mitch white

    Adam’s was the one being held there and they somehow give a free the other way? Weird!

    Nothing at all weird DistrAction.  Par for the course.

    Yep. Jury's out for me but if we drop out of the finals race in the near future I think it's time to give him a run at games at AFL level. Seems like a player lacking confidence when his in the senior team but it's hard to fault his form in the VFL. He is contracted so let's find out. Would be a bonus if he showed something with the 'big boys'.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
