I think you intended to mention Hore, not Howe . Hore Ā was bloody good, I rate himĀ 

Tholstrup- his best game


Tholstrup - his best game

Very tough on Billings - 21 disposals going at 90% is a very good game.

Good to see him back.

Tough readjustment last week but turned up today.

Well done.

Ā 

Tholstrup - not there yet (his decision making and reaction time isn't fast enough yet)

Disco - no obvious weakness

Kozzie - shouldn't have played

Billings - experienced shouldn't fumble

Viney - legend of club

kozy puts in some average onesĀ  Ā hopefully a big one next weekĀ  How good to beat the filth

By now Goodwin should now that if Kozzy is quiet in the first half he must start in the midfield ASAP, touching the leather invigorates Kozzy.

Tholstrup - robbed of goal.

Can we get rid of that pathetic arc?

Once again it robs us of a certain goal.

Ā 

I would say Tholstrup - learning pretty fast

For once it didn't cost us a game though. Ā  Ā  Ā I am sure there are stats somewhere that show how many calls have gone for and against certain teams. Ā  Cost us the final v Carlton and other games I cannot specify.

Equivalent to telling the time with a two bob watch.Ā

That bloody arc has cost us games. I hate it. Don’t care if an umpire makes a bad decision, part of the game.

On this occasion though I think it was the goal umpire that stole it from him.

Exactly what he was scouted for.Ā Ā 


Fritsch - a leisurely frolic

LOL - very apt description

Goal umpire called it a point, so without the arc it would still have been a point.

Kolt worked his way into.

Ā 

If Kolt can fix up his kicking, he’ll become our best young player very quickly. Runs to the right spots, has pace and loves the contest.

Yes.

  • 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.Ā  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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
