Amazing what an academy and father son picks get you !!! 


Still smart recruiting. No second rate scrubbers.  Neale. Cameron. Daniher. Dunkley.  Take note !!!

    Absolutely Oscar McInErnery's energy in the medal presentation.

    Pure goofy, loving joy.

    Suspect that has been a big part of keeping the team upbeat during some rough early times.

    Apparently he was very upbeat all week & didn't moan about his injury or missing out

    Absolutely putrid grand final. Game was worse than the pre-game.

    That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for his replacement) was beautiful.

    11 players played every game. Consistency helps. 

    But they also had the depth to cover for McInerney, Coleman and McCarthy (plus Gardiner and Doedee).

    Fantastic list management and fitness. Not a coincidence.

    For Sydney, when the going got tough they fell apart and you’d think the scars of 2022 has something to do with that. Their tall forwards are barely better than ours and they couldn’t compete aerially against Brisbane’s defence.

    All the more reason to believe that if we get some of sh*t together in terms of game plan (Bassett) is a nice inclusion, then we are right in the thick of it.

    Last 2 premiers aren’t absolutely dominant like we were and other great teams before us. Brisbane are still far from invincible in spite of a flag.

    It's a bad movie on repeat for Sydney.

    The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls in the 90s, by the time the last one came along the loss seemed a forgone conclusion. Are Sydney too traumatised with this group?

    Well the only logical conclusion from this is that our boys need to have a wild footy trip, and a poorly managed WhatsApp group.

    I thought we had enough of the media bashing us up.

    If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

    You could argue it was the worst top 4 in years

    Watching Brisbane today made me realise how bad our skills are at times.

    Brisbane just run hard for each other and create space, they don't fumble and there forward line is open & they don't get in each other's way.

    Happy the Lions and Fagan but worried about them when they add Ashcroft next year

    They bat so deep. Blokes like Ah Chee are their 10-15th best player and is so skilled

    Could be the case if they lose another one within the next few seasons. But at the moment, I put it down to a lack of experience on the MCG and larger grounds in general. They also have a heap of flashy type players that play for themselves.

    Four lost GFs in a row

    How do you even rock up to preseason?

    Fans must be in pieces. But they only have themselves to blame

    Blokes like Heeney Warner Gulden completely choked on the big stage

    Going out in straight sets for us two years in a row.

    Yep.

    At least we made a fist of it.

    And came very close despite injuries at umps.

    Swans have no excuse.

    The most lackluster effort in a granny by any club for eons.

    In it for twenty minutes then went to sleep.

    Going to haunt them until they lose another.

    • 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?

    • 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.
