Nice Lindsay aerial contest down back there and not sure it was his fault Tommy no skills hammering a handball back at him. He’s ticked a few boxes today

    Some clear deficiencies, but I am not too hassled by the score. Our general play is looking better  as the game extends.

    Salem and Windsor growing, Langford ok.

    Johnson looking to have established his spot as our 2nd big body forward.

    Fritsch a worry.

    lol, Claz. This is great to see him hitting the scoreboard. But he shouldn’t. Be leading our goalkicking…

    Our players still look scared to give away sling tackle free kicks/suspensions.

    Guys, when it comes to the real stuff just dump them.

    Why not?

    He is playing an aggressive centre mid role, regularly being the one to drift to the front of the storage, and has rested in the forward pocket.

    3 goals in 3 quarters should be leading every clubs goal kicking. We don't have Charlie Curnow running round out there

    Genuinely, there's been enough to be relatively pleased with today. Bit of a hiding to nothing match. Lindsay looks good

    It was great however his two long kicks into the forward line didn’t favour our forwards at all.

    Yeah he hasn't been completely polished but I reckon his positives have outweighed his negatives today.

    Lol, a part of me is keeping an eye out for Austin Wonaeamirri.

    Holy [censored] I think I got the spelling right!

    Relax, we got this.

    Whatever happens from here midfield stoppage work, Oliver’s work rate, Max being Max, glimpses of some dash off half back, more forward handball, tackling pressure against a side I rate a lot more than others on here are positives

    • 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.
