Great performance. Great win. Goodwin’s words felt empty leading in but credit where it’s due. They lifted and got it done.

    Jack Viney is back.

    Max Gawn is back (still needs help though).

    Hopefully we continue.

    Well done Goodwin now the challenge is to keep going.

    Even if we had of lost that, I would have enjoyed watching that style of game.

    Very few complaints.

    So many good moments.

    Incredible response, hopefully we can see more of that for the rest of the season because that was very fun to watch

    The most fun and enjoyable match I have watched us play in at least 1 and a half years I reckon. The forward wave running whilst implementing great team defensive pressure is what we have grown accustomed to.

    Next 2 highly winnable and Hawks proven not to be as invincible as most like to believe. If we are real with ourselves, we beat Richmond and West Coast easily and suddenly 3 in a row going into Hawthorn…

    Let’s hope to god this is first of many wins and the new standard going forward..

    Finally showed some spirit.

    Controversial opinion - but if we don't make finals, I think it might have been better for the club long term if we'd lost that game.

    I hope I'm proven wrong but I'm convinced Goodie is not the way forward and this is just delaying the inevitable.

    I’m not usually one to go early on my calls, but after today’s win—our first for the season—it’s clear we’ve made some serious learnings. A few things stood out:

    1. Max has a future with the Nationals—no one goes to the right more reliably.

    2. Goody’s contract should be extended to 2029—first item on the new CEO’s to-do list.

    3. Lever’s calling is clear—full-time interchange steward. Give him the hi-vis and headset now.

    4. Trac is the future head of the Victorian Retail Butchers Association—his slicing and dicing today was top shelf.

    5. Goody has implemented so many learnings—at this rate, by Round 10 we’ll have enough to open a TAFE campus.

    6. The umpires continue to innovate—consistently confusing, admirably chaotic, and never guessing the same way twice. True artisans of the grey area.

    7. And finally—can someone check the Tullamarine arrivals lounge? Pretty sure the Shockers might be smuggling Kosi back West when no one was looking.

    After our bad losses to Freo last year, and given our start this year, this is a MASSIVE win!!

    Koz Bowey and Viney were awesome.

    Over 100? A win? Now THAT’S retro! 🤣

    It’s never too late to turn things around, let’s use this and build confidence!

    Great win boys, thank you. So proud.

    Miss this feeling ❤️

    Nah, as Craig McCrae has said many times that he values players than picks because winning is the potion that drives success.

    We need to win games and winning attracts top talent.

    Aw, thanks.

    Now I get to celebrate both an excellent, dynamic, character-filled win by the Demons, AND I get to prove my point that some people put indulging their vendettas ahead of the enjoying the club's successes.

    Back in the ol’ days, I notched up three in a row at Hawthorn—those were the glory dayz.

    Honestly we never really looked like losing. Gawn just had that aura about him defensively that tends to mean we win.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
