Rapt with not only a 4 quarter effort but the way we responded multiple times when they came at us.

Was a great atmosphere at the G. Great game of footy

It was nice to see our forwards not get in each other's way today.
Our tackling and pressure in our 50 was great. Something fritsch has to learn to do

No, but we saw two players with locked arms around the ball trying to take it off each other. Maybe a visit to Specsavers might be in order.

Anyone else thinking Sparrows having a quiet season compared to his usual?

He’s been MIA this year but I think he was better today.

2 & 1/2 quarters through the replay and faark me Freo got a good deal from the umpires today!

The umpiring was stuffed. No consistency.

What’s his usual?

Tom had a good 2021 but despite constant attempts by the coaches to make him a midfielder or wingman he just isn’t one. Ball use and awareness are both too poor.

Did an ok job tagging Holmes, got killed by Merrett last week because he just isn’t smart enough to stick with a clever mid.

Today they made Viney tag Serong and limited Sparrow to purely half forward and despite some usual fumbles and decision errors he did a great team job and took some strong marks which is a key part of his game.

But he’s a limited role player, he is what he is by now.

 

Another reason we need to re-sign TMac ASAP: the Filth are probably lurking in the shadows, ready to throw five years and a complimentary cheeseboard at him the moment we blink.

Anyone remember the great duo Lou and Jack arguing about the ruck position. Lou saying it’s easy , Jack saying it wasn’t.

Max is best I’ve ever seen. That said if you compete and level the contest you have done a good job. That’s exactly what Fullarton did today. Gave Max a few breathers and look at the outcome.


Isn't it amazing that with two tall forwards the opposition do not get to intercept mark and allows our smaller forwards to go to town.

Great win.

Just hope Turner can play next week. He was pivotal in defence. Not only physical but fairly quick as well.

we scored more in the first then gws did the whole game vs crows..

We equalled our highest score for the year by half time.

In transit so didn’t see the game. Was sure we would get well beaten.

Looks like we have season lift off

Need to back it up v tiges and eagles

Retain the same team also so no jvr or fritsch against Richmond

I cried.

I won’t lie, I had to put my sunnies on for the song. Had some tears in my eyes and didn’t want anyone to notice :)

Lord Edward Is God saw his first full game win today. He was singing the song loudly with his nuffy dad. Thank you, Demons.

Great to see we’re dropping 205 games of experience and replacing them with 49—courtesy of three players who wouldn’t crack the 22 at most clubs this week. And two of the three are the wrong ones. If I’m JVR, I’m calling my manager tonight.

Desperate times call for desperate measures QD

I can sniff a win but beer o'clock also started about 2 hours ago!

He brought incredible energy early and set the tone. He is going to be a 'glue' guy who brings it all together.

Made a huge difference without having many touches.

You need an enforcer or two.

We've had the old stager in Vines for so long. Now he's joined by the young Kolt.

Fighting for every scrap, jostling and flying the flag are just as important as anything else in the game.

Add to that the fierce attack on the ball and ball carrier.

Pressure pressure pressure. Something that's been missing for far too long.

The sharing of ball, running in support and more HBs forward (finally), paid dividends today.

Have to back it up though. No flukes pls.

What did you think of the game today mate? Did it look like the pre season ball movement that some have said?

Thought we were so exciting. And of course Goody and Chaplin have been there before playing that way with earlier iterations of this team. Bassett's attacking defensive set up during his time at Port will be an interesting watch for the rest of the season.

Hopefully having May, Lever and McVee back in the back 7, we'll manage to win more 1v1s back there, but it felt like the easy scores against were a midfield problem. Either from too aggressive set ups or poor set ups or poor defensive transition.

I also hope having May and Lever back doesn't slow or [censored] our bounce off half back.

Interesting: No 'first win' guys in the middle; all part of the unified circle (bit of love saved for the break-up, e.g. Tholstrup for Sharp)

 

I need to apologise for saying Kozzie was a late out. We had DA members at Casey and they announced it in our group WhatsApp and it spread like wildfire throughout the cheer squad. Sorry for worrying folks.

But more importantly…

HOW BLOODY GOOD WAS THAT WIN !!!

All the emotions running amok but the main one was RELIEF. So, so proud of our boys.

PS: ‘twas my lucky Melbourne socks that did it.

YOU’RE ALL WELCOME!

Needless to say I’ll be wearing them every week.

Again, you’re all welcome 😁

YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!

  • 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 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.
