    Yes fatigue may happen in the last qtr for the young blokes but geeeeeeez this is exciting!

    Viney is just unreal. 
    I forget how important he really is for us until he stands out like this. Never fails us when needed the most.

     

    keep pushing lads!!!

    Manic pressure and lions crumble

    I'm seeing glimpses of 2021! I know most didn't pick the Dees to win tonight but I did. I thought after last week, a spark may have been lit. After the devastating week I have had, this is my only glimmer of joy this week.

    Ugly as sin 

    What on earth is he chewing continuously? 

    The massive change has been our tackling pressure, and that's set off a chain reaction that has resulted in a turnaround in every other phase of the game.

    The frontal contact on every Brisbane possession from Kolt, Chandler, Viney, and Kosi has absolutely flipped the script on the lions, turning them into the hunted ones and has allowed us to pressure their disposal and allow our defenders to defend ugly ball for a change. Then when we get it we're running in waves and seeing a real target in van Rooyen up forward. Fantastic stuff.

    If Tholstrup’s ball hadn’t been touched and he kicked the goal it’d almost be game over.

    I could not care about the result. I just want to see us keep cracking in, getting the ball forward and everyone playing for each other. This is a tiring way to play for a young side and they are a good side and will come. Let’s keep it up. Go Dees.

    We need to continue this into the 3rd quarter (obviously). The intensity has been unreal - it is what we have all been waiting for.

    First quarter, having a crack. Switched on.

    Second quarter, increase pressured and belief. 
    They are also starting to play for each other.

    Fantastic quarter. Most fun ive had watching us in 6 weeks.

    I hope to win but Brisbane will come - big ask to maintain this intensity for the whole game but just loving the intensity. Been terrific from the start. All I want to see. 

    Oliver with 15 disposals and a goal. Good thing we didn't drop a champion eh?

    • 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.

      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.
