So happy for Melksham. 
When he finishes up playing, I hope we keep him on in a coaching role (maybe forward coach)

    We are so Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide with our goal kicking, we either can't miss or we miss the easy ones 😅😅

    god there are some miserable [censored] on the game day thread... would you take a 50 point win? Yeah... but, I'll [censored] whinge about it not being enough, and some players haven't done enough.

    nah nah, I just expect a lot from my team and want to see consistent improvement.

    Anyway

    Youngsters keep doing well.

    We don't seem to be toooo predicitable as per the earlier thread this week.

    Battened down the hatches in the 4th.. but you can spin that narrative that because we're not in the 8, you need to continue and put the 'foot on the throat' to be deemed to be worthy by some supporters vs being in the 8, and it was a day at the office and responsible.

    Good win especially when the youngsters were the better players. Still big question marks over Oliver and Sparrow, as well as our backline.

    Bring on the Injectors next week.

    the boys did amazingly, especially the kids. Second halves could use some tidying up still but super proud of them.

    Standouts in rivers, windsor, kolt and JVR and theyre all 22 or under!

    Bring on the Dons, we've got this.

    Nice win and some great improvement in structure.

    Windsor's game was enormous and bodes well for the future.

    Next few weeks will be telling

    Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

    Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?

    They mentioned he tweaked his ankle. Nothing serious, more precautionary.

    We were never going to replicate the 1st quarter for the whole game. Happy with the win and form of our younger players especially. Tholstrup looking like he belongs and Windsor's best game for a while if not the year.

    Hope Gawny sub was just precautionary. Hard to see any changes for next week unless Petty is ready. Woewodin maybe the only one under consideration after 1 touch as the sub but would be a touch unfair probably.

    Has there ever been a backline that cracks the sheets and points at others more than this mob.

    Still historically they're very good

    I liked the fact we look to move the ball quicker and at times through the corridor. The fwd line seemed less congested and we delivered it a hell of a lot better than we normally do. 
     

    TMac should be offered a one year contract for next year.

    Iced the ankle, didn’t look to distraught, would think with 6 day turn around precaution. Wouldn’t be surprised to see crutches/moon boot for a few days and light week for him

    Ankle was being iced when he came off.

    JVR’s post-game interview. What a sweetheart. 

    Did you see his interview this week in the MFC social? (YouTube) 

    Looks like a very mature and down to earth bloke.

    I think we're gonna have a lot of youngsters in the B&F top 10!

    • 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.
