Jefferson is so far behind AFL level. AJ had a monster game as a forward and could have easily kicked 6 or 7 goals. He's way ahead of Jefferdon that it's now starting to become a real worry on whethwr he'llmake it or not. He genuine just lacks intensity compared to AJ who really stamped his authority with his physical presence and marking.

Bonner is way too good for this level.

Loved Kynan Browns game. Would prefer him to bloody Harry Sharp who's an absolute crab.

Kentfield is worth keeping a close eye on this new position change down in defence. He certainly looks so much more comfortable down back then forward.

Adams is also close to a debut game as is Sestan.

Mentha certainly has talent but is raw still. Reminds me so much of Toby Brdford in his first year at AFL level where he showed so much glimpses but just needed that full year of professional development.

Mitch Hardie was also very solid.

    How did Culley go?

    Was ok but didn't stand out for mine. Worked hard defensively and marked well above his shoulders. Disposal not fantastic but conditions were tough. Didn't get a stack of it either despite us dominating the game and the disposal count. Unsure if he's time is still being managed.

    Thanks KC, Tarax Club and all posters what a great result for the boys with so many playing dominant games. How good was it watching the scoreboard tick over, particularly after the slow wind blown start.

    Agree with most of this. MJ is a long way off. if he had AJs intensity he'd be a star

    Bonner is the typical star at VFL but no good at AFL level type of player.

    Was beyond horrendous for St Kilda so his delisting came as no surprise.

    Would be wasting a list spot if we were to take him.

    He finds space. In the new gameplan he could be useful. You need quick connectors.

    I'd like to see some detailed analysis of kicks/handballs to advantage but there could be something there

    Phenomenal result considering the scores were level at quarter time.

    We only scored one goal in the first, so 20 in the ladt 3 quarters including 6 or 7 into the wind in the 3rd.

    Tom Campbell set the tone with a dominant ruck performance from the get go. Followed by the Casey on ballers.

    Riley Baldi returns as a much improved player. Mitch Hardie a worthy acquisition, Taj Woewodin not the most skilled or quickest but gets involved inside and out.

    Bailey Laurie aside from the silly late intervention, quite a solid contributor. Jai Culley can impose himself as an extractor but really needs to work on his kicking.

    Pup Brown some terrific moments but needs to add strength and polish.

    JVR and AJ as keys stood up and delivered. Jack Henderson not a lot of the ball but a very smart operator.

    Adams and Sestan are showing definite promise as defenders.

    Okay, is it time to start thinking of Jefferson as a Watts-type tall rather than as a key forward?

    Do we need to stop looking at what we hope he can be and start looking at what he can be?

    The difference between having 12 on the injury list in round one to only 4 out now

    The Casey team looks strong

    He's got some nice leading patterns which I never really saw from Jack Watts.

    Great to see JVR play well. He struggles to find the ball at full forward at AFL level but is a good finisher.

    I liked Woewodin's game also.

    The trouble is when you win like that, you have to take into the effort from the opposition, and by that score, there was not that much considering they only kicked 3.7 for the game.

    Surely this will be Laurie's last season at the Dees? If we are truly in the middle of a "rebuild", he offers very little for our future.

    When he was recruited I thought that he had the most unlikely build of anyone trying to play AFL

    He’s improved a lot in that area but think Baldi has has more upside than him even tho he’s come from outside the system

    Yeah we did very well and looked the goods, but they looked pretty terrible , so not really much to take from that game until we repeat that performance against more teams who are doing better than the Tigers I guess. Still, great stuff watching our boys rip it up!

    It was a good win but don't get too carried away, Richmond were worse than terrible. A good game to get out of form players into some form. Difficult for Jeffo, he didn't do anything wrong but AJ and JvR just go everything.

    • 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.
