    Not really, much like the rest of the news, it depends where you choose to get your opinions from. 😅

    Indeed.

    I expected we would win.

    So certainly not against the odds from where I sit.

    Essendon are pretenders, their gameplan will not hold up in finals. Unbelievable run so far, still beat no-one other than the Giants when they were in a massive form slump.

    That's as good as any win this year with No.22 doing his best to get the Peptides back from the death.

    22 should be sent to the country leagues and never heard or seen from again.

    And clearly they paid off the umpires

    Thoughts on the non selection of a ruck?

    That was bizarre umpiring in the last 5 minutes.

    For example the bombers throwing the ball all night and they pluck one out of nowhere against rivers.

     

    Plus the Kozzie 50 meters - his many more times did that happen but no penalty?

    Thanks to the AFL ring masters and their dodgy fixture that's set up to manufacture preferred outcomes and the finals pecking order.

    The umpires tried to snatch it in the end, but no dice!! 

    GREAT WIN! My takeaways:

    - I think we saw a rebirth for the team against the Lions. Great pressure for the whole game. Intense. Belief.

    - The kids are the future. Disco kicking big goals, McVee’s skills in the wet, Kozzie doing things only he can. Rivers continues to step up. Windsor had another cracker. Great vision and speed. Kolt, love his grit. 

    - WITHOUT Trac and Gawn. No axtual ruck. This is our character. 

    - The bombers are FRAUDS and CHEATS! I’m glad we helped to show them up and help them back down the ladder (although their soft draw will continue to help). 

    - How good was Langdon?

    - How missed was Melksham?? 

    Great night, always love beating these mugs. Only disappointment was not winning by 40+ but I can live that that. 

    HERE WE COME!!!! 🔥💙❤️

    There are some great young kids in this team that are showing up a lot of the older guys. Great for the future.

    I had a great feeling about this one coming in but didn't want to mozz it. Even without Gawn our pressure game has really lifted the last couple of weeks and playing the kids instead of NQR journeyman has given the team a real shot of energy/enthusiasm. Plus Essendon are flakey, they crumble under pressure.

    Dunno how we'll go for the rest of the year but if we keep getting games into the kids, keep giving midfield minutes to Riv and Koz and keep giving Roo more time up forward with Melksham and Fritsch I think we are in decent shape moving forward.

    Sweet win.

    Lost the clearances.

    Lost the tackle count.

    Kick count

    Hit outs 

    Marks

    Handball count

    Free kicks

    Inside 50 s too

    But a sweet sweet sweet win.

    Oliver and Anb really stood tall in the second half.

    Shout out to Disco as well.

    Kozzie nice 100.

    • 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.
