Starting to really like Turner forward. Good level of mongrel, has the best agility of our usual tall forwards. He and JVR are a good combo to build upon.

Turner’s best asset as a forward will be/is his mobility.

    Salem has no quickness on his feet.

    Liability defensively.

    How distant his 2021 form looks today.

    I think he's been played through injury and been hampered this year, like many of our players.

    Has time and space and just burns the disposals 

     

    Turner has a bit of agro about him too. And I love how Van Rooyen insists on running through people after he takes a mark.

    Jesus Riv

     

    Rivers is a momentum killer 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Players that I am concerned about moving forward - Salem, Petty and Bowey, not sure Billings is a 'competitive beast' either but id like to see more of that disposal.

    Howes good, Rivers thinking about Mad Monday already. Lift your game Trent, lazy football.

    Rivers has got to get those dinky flashy kicks out of his game.

    Rivers is mentally in Bali already.

    Or a WA club

     

    Riv needs to find something because he ain’t playing midfield with that type of disposal. That was a handball everyday of the week.

    Our disposal is comedically bad. 

    there is a river in our momentum

    Looks totally disinterested 

    Wtf happened to that enthusiasm moving into the guts...?

     

    Zero tackles from Nibbler.. Hmm that’s unusual. Perhaps preserving himself for his next club.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?
