    Oliver, Trac, May out and Kossie quiet. Pre game would have said 5-10 goal loss, great effort from the Demons who stood up!

    Jack Viney take a BOW!

    Turner, JVR and Petty make a statement for 2025 forward line!

    It was a a grand day!

    Beat those filthy scum next week, hopefully with someone flattening Maynard and would be the perfect end to the season!

    Go Demons!

    Replayed the Viney interview, probably overanalysing like everyone else, but I have a slightly different take.

    It was reported by Riley Beveridge this week that Jack is in the midst of negotiating a deal for beyond 2025. Generally when those things are in the works players can be a bit more non-committal as they want to keep the managers happy as they push for the best deal. Jack is not always the sharpest of speakers or interviewees, and I felt he answered with his initial automatic thoughts (paraphrasing):

    Lynch: "You're not going anywhere next year?"

    Viney: "Nah!" Then realizes he's meant to keep them guessing somewhat to help the contract talks "We'll wait til the end of the year and see how that all pans out".

    I'm not too worried after that exchange.

    Yeah, that was one of my takes too.

    Take that squirmy Dermy.  The hope that they could still get up when they were 6 goals down deep in the fourth… priceless 

    The whole commentary was (as always) spoilt by Dermy! I wish he’d just shut up.                                   I’m not sure if I read it on this site or elsewhere, but someone said -  ask Dermy the time and he’ll tell you how to build a clock!

    How good was that! Very proud of the boys today. Vines and Max immense and lots of nice cameos too. We wiped the floor with them it has to be said.

    I've lamented our work in the centre square for a very long time. That was an enormous improvement against two of the better clearance players (at least stats-wise) in the comp.

    Dermie hates Melbourne so great to stick it up him!

    Stolen from a post on Twitter, but this a great pick up.

    “Trac spent months in Queensland then conveniently avoided this away trip when so many of the injured players travelled, and our twos were up here too. Today was a very ‘whole club’ vibe. None of this is reflecting very well on him. This is a direction, and he’s not in on it.”

    I agree completely with this. The more this plays out the more I'm unimpressed with Trac and whoever leaked to the media.

    A lot to like today!, also Billings, Hore, Kolt AND Nibbler were very good

    Nibbler is going to be a big loss ... especially after losing Brayshaw. Heart and soul players and onfield leaders both.

    Even if both Clarry and Trac get back to their best, some big shoes to fill.

    Hard to read anything into that Viney comment.

    Not overly concerned. Currently in contract negotiations with the Demons so I can't imagine he'd say anything publicly which may impact talks.

    Spot on. He will have been briefed by his manager. Don't look too keen.

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Hmmm. Didn’t seem to apply when he flew up to Noosa did it.

    To be fair, he might have thought that if he went he would be a distraction

    Great pick up.  Poor Jack - just a bit of confusion there.

    True on Nibbler, but why can't Rivers, Turner, Tholstrup, Windsor etc.   be the next to take over that mantle.

    A bit of kudos here to Dwayne.  Last 1/4 he emphasised several times that next season with Oliver and Trac back in  full health  and JVR having his break out seasonwhy can't the Dees challenge again quickly.

    The way the team got around Judd after his first goal was indicative of the great things about our team. 

    Even more impressive was when they got around Pickett who was obviously feeling out of sorts and slightly embarrassed about his performance in the first three quarters.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
