Interesting. I love Windsor, but I thought he was very ordinary today. Fantasy points agree. He was our sixth lowest rated player, and that includes two who played half a game. Still, everyone sees things differently, and I might have missed his contribution.

I noticed he came off during the pregame warmup for treatment near the bench. I think it was an issue with his foot and boot. He only got back on the field just before the first bounce. He has had issues with skin infections on his foot. This could have had an impact on his form.

6 - Kozzie set the game up for us

5 - Max made sure we won it

4 - Jake Bowey was that his best game ever

3 - Harrison Petty dominant display

2 - Trent Rivers great all round effort

1 - Jack Viney welcome back champ.

Great team effort. The undermanned defence did a superb job. The highlights for me were the total team focus of Gawn and Viney as leaders. Twice Gawn could have taken the easy option of covering Darcy but instead went to man the dangerous Treacy who was without an opponent. Darcy ended up with two soft goals as a result but Max put the team first. Viney did a brilliant blanketing job on Serong and was still an influential offensive player. Kudos to our two leaders.

(I liked his bumps so i snuck him in....)


Maybe not the 6 votes; perhaps 4?...

This thread.

@Deespicable, re your "6. Bowey - I don't think i have seen a better defensive first half from any Demon in a long time", nice one 😊. I do very fondly remember his from-the-get-go performance in the '21 GF, as a 19yo(?) in his handful'th game. Pound-for-pound an equal with today?

Gee, it’s a pleasure to be voting after a win! Last week I described my final vote getter as β€œthe best of the rest”. This week I’m finding it very difficult to fit the them all in …… 10 into 6 doesn’t go!

My best guess:

  1. Pickett: Outstanding game! Put simply, we don’t win the game without him. His goals, his pressure, and very importantly, he caused the Freo players to [censored] themselves whenever he was near the ball.

  1. Bowey: Continued his outstanding season. Always seemed to be in the right spot, great vision, and immaculate β€˜team to advantage’ disposal. Current Club leader in the Bluey, I reckon.

  1. Gawn: Tap work, understanding with his mids / crumbers, and his behind-the-ball marking, all getting back to their best. Was an absolute β€˜rock’ in the last. As he said in his post match presser β€œwe weren’t going to lose that one”.

  1. Viney: Fantastic return to form. 25 (mostly effective) disposals and a goal, primarily playing an effective tagging role, speak for themselves.

  1. TMac: β€˜Evergreen Tom’ was a stalwart in defence, in the absence of his usual tall compatriots.

  1. Petty: The first time we’ve had an effective tall forward all season. Very good game, assisted by some much better delivery from further afield.

Riv and Chin the most unlucky, with a few others in contention.

  1. Kozzzzzy Pickett - for his excitement and goalscoring

  1. Max Gawn - strong ruckwork all day

  1. Jake Bowey. Clean and efficient.

  1. Harry Petty. 4 goals. Strong marking. Pearce is no mug.

  1. Jack Viney. Inspirational. Took on Serong. Seemed like a new man.

  1. Tom McDonald. Great game. Beat Treacy and defended all day.

Special mentions to Riv, Trac and Langdon. Of course to Langford for two crucial second half goals. He nailed them when others missed chances

Negative votes. None this week πŸ‘πŸ»


6 - Kozzie

  • 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 β€” 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.Β  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.

  • 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.
