Was that the Chandler that most of you guys want to drop?

Incredible!

    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? 

    He had a sneezing fit and so, deserved a rest. He dominated the ruck duels and the occasional follow-up, but when he drifted upfield or downfield, he frightened the Weagles into desperate patterns.

    Enjoyed that, future looks good with our youth, shame JVR missed a couple of easy set shots but all in all a very positive day. Can see the want to take the game on and better ball movement slowly coming together now

    Chandler was very serviceable. What great ground coverage to advantage.

    Reid is clearly going to be an amazing player, but his attitude and arrogance is pretty poor.

    We are starting to look good again and have our energy and pressure game back.

    Great bunch of talented kids and forward line is taking shape and looks better just with Melkys presence.

    JVR is the one.

    Anything can happen from here , but geez I’d love to have Trac back.

    Just to prove I don’t only whinge when we lose :  that insufficient intent given against the WCE player who belted the ball forward was absolutely stupid. He was clearly trying to get it to 2 teammates all on their own 30m away.   Came off his fist slightly off and went 20m and went out. Good grief

    Loved our defensive intent and much of our intent around the ball. I felt the eagles ran it through the middle too easily at times, and I noticed that some of the new younger boys like AMW, Kolt, and Turner were sometimes slow to respond from a turnover.

    Love these new younger players being given a run. Windsor and Kolt earning their place and repeatedly looking AFL ready.

    Kozzie finally holds a speccy, the Roo dominating the air, The Milkshake is back and his class immediately evident. 

    More than happy with that win.

    Would’ve been nice to claw back a bit more percentage but no complaints - we smashed them. It was a game dominated by youth - Rivers and van Rooyen in particular as best players. Despite the disappointing season this list has a lot of upside, and this season isn’t over yet.

    Just need a very smart and good recruiting in the offseason, couple of players for our midfield and draft some depth for our fwd line.

    Starting to look like he belongs with Stringer at Essendon or DeGoey at the Filth.

    What happened between him and Gawn?

    Forwards provided leads 😁😁

    Forwards sought out space and overlaps 😁😁

    Backs dispersed for clearances 😁😁

    Set shot shooters generally increased their run-up delivery distances 😁😁

    The wisdom of Demonland persistence to demand youth exposure to the team worked profitably 😁😁

    Great outcomes that stunned the Weagles.

    He was getting stuck into Kolt and Gawn wasn’t having it. 

    Needs to actually achieve something before he goes off half cocked at everyone. Very uncool behavior from a first year player.

    That’s the kind of act the AFL should be doing everything in its power to encourage. Creative and chaotic. An Eagles player could have run onto that and kicked goal of the year and everyone would be lauding Liam Ryan for his creativity.

    Umpires don’t need to be forcing players to be robotic. Nobody wins then.

    Koltyn has great energy and really needs to stay in the side, he was terrific today.

    Probably he can walk the talk  and don't argue with the critics.

    He may mature and get a lot better don't you think?

    Eagle chicks are ugly, scrawny, lice-ridden, snotty, greasey, windblown and smelly. Even they grow up to be very close to perfection. We still have a way to go; it just happens that we are closer to that eventual point than the WCE...

    Of course he may mature and get better, but he has coaches and teammates who should tell him to stay humble and focused. 
    If he was a Melbourne player our fans would be picking on his attitude, as would the media. 

    There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player, but football is a team game and when your team is getting pantsed, you need to put your head down and do the work. Not go around arguing with umpires and picking fights.

    • 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.
