    6 Langdon - classy all-round display.

    5 Petracca - excellent third quarter.

    4 Bowey - nippy and creative.

    3 Gawn - fought all the way.

    2 Pickett - pacy and elusive.

    1 Oliver - put in the hard hards.

    6 Langdon - our best by miles to half time and one of the few who had time and space and figured out that if your coach has picked the smallest forward line in history then you better keep your kicks low.

    5 Gawn - has difficulty with Draper but kept working hard. A couple of bad howlers late though but you have to wonder why others didn’t realise the urgency.

    4 Petracca - plenty of inside 50s but not quite enough polish to be a match winner.

    3 Salem - as with Langdon kept the ball low all night which when you have four guys under 6ft up forward is smart.

    2 Bowey - he’s really smooth this year, shame our forwards and game plan aren't.

    1 Pickett - looked dangerous unlike the rest of the side.

    Really little to be enthusiastic about: but I thought the following players were acceptable!

    6: Langdon

    5: Gawn

    4: Bowey

    3: Salem

    2: Pickett

    And here I’m scratching-

    1: Petracca

    6 toLangdon best by far

    5 Gawn

    4 Bowie

    3 Kozzie

    2 Trac

    1. Oliver and before you ask he made 9 tackles. The only player close was Chin with 6 while Trac & Viney had 5 apiece nearly half of the entire team tackles. 4 players had 0 tackles

    1. Langdon - a shining light. Head and shoulders above of our next best.

    1. Gawn - battled on tirelessly against the odds. Can hold his head up.

    1. Petracca - instrumental in our mini fight back in the second half.

    1. Bowey - solid, with (mostly) nice disposal. Perhaps our most consistent player this season.

    1. Pickett - provided a bit of spark, at times.

    1. Oliver - the best of the rest.

    6 - Max Gawn 50 hit outs (one howler)

    5 - Ed Langdon great game

    4 - Jake Bowey playing with assurance

    3 - Christian Salem brave and consistent

    2 - Christian Petracca mini fightback

    1 - Clayton Oliver on his way back

    The mini fwd line failed miserably aided by our inaccuracy in front of goal, we had our chances but overall Bummers out marked, outran and dismantled our game plan.

    So everyone hates the turnovers, skill errors and lack of forward cohesion and yet every week they get votes. Its bizarre. Its what Goody seems to be doing also. Im rewarding goal assists.

    Grundy,Jordan,Bedford,Hogan, Jackson,Hunt, Harmes, Howe,Nibbler,Baker

    Of those Grundy, Jordan Bedford Hunt Harmes and Baker were forced out due to lack of opportunity .

    They would have stayed if....

    Hogan need love

    Howe was played out of position and chose to leave.

    Hunt had 16 possessions this week and 300+ metres gained

    Jordan has cemented his place in a far better side

    Grundy could have rucked and Max could have provided a target at FF..he marks everything but Max was selfish.

    Who is running player development ?

    Who enforces contracts?

    1. Lingers - His 2nd highest Rated game at the MFC. Brilliant gut running never-say-die performance. More of this pls!!

      1. Max - On track for a much better season than 24 but needs a chop out from someone who is in form up forward. Can't afford to play a part-time ruck in JVR who is not contributing elsewhere at all. Goodwin can't seem to see the forest through the stubborn trees. When a player is this out-of-form you are doing no one any favours by digging your heals in and backing him no matter what until the worm turns. The only winner is the oppo who benefit from nothing dangerous happening up forward until his form does turn. Let him find his mojo at Casey FCS and don't be so pig headed pls Simon.

        1. Clazz - Offensively getting back to somewhere near his best but poor defensively on the two way as are Tracc & Vines who is nowhere near his very best across the board. Vines needs to be managed for Brown Dog imho.

          1. Riv - 31% CBA this week. Keep Riv in the middle for these sort of minutes or more from here. Whatever it takes Simon, just get his minutes up. We look better with him on the move through the middle, aside from his disposal (not alone). Kozz will hopefully find some form here also as the weeks pass.

            1. Salem - Improved on last week imo.

              1. Tracc - A long way from his best but It is coming (slowly). You can feel it. Keep the faith fellow minions. Ideally might need to be managed for a week to freshen up but not enough troops at Casey yet. Maybe Culley in three to four weeks?

                Apologies to Bowsa - Great efforts and plays the intercept / link role well. However he lets himself & the team down with ball in hand too often for mine. Needs to lower vision and look for options inside and stop panic kicking up the line to players who are well covered or double teamed so often. Go lateral or backwards if needed. T-Mac looks to do this whenever possible without the blind down the line kicks so often. A few too many turnovers to get in the votes.

    • 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.
