After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    Shocking last 10 minutes, the whole review should be about that.

    Mentally went to sleep, unacceptable.

    When Gawn retires we are proper****ed.

    Great win dees.

    Put the que in the rack late, but turned it on when they needed to.

    Looking forward to the game at Optus next week

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

    Meh.

    Our forward line remains an issue but our midfield looked much better in that second half.

    Gawn and Bowey were awesome tonight.

    Not a great first half, in great part because we were getting very little from Trac, Clarry and Kozzie. No surprise that things turned with a big second half from each of them. Maxy was huge.

    Disappointing way to end the game, some useful % wasted.

    Anyway, happy for the win, we continue to build some momentum. Over to the west to make amends for a bad loss last year!!!

    Will take the win of course but jesus that last quarter was frustrating. We really need to learn how to run out games properly if we want to have a decent number of wins.

    As far as individual highlights go, Gawn reminded everyone of how much of a champion he is and Bowey has officially won me over.

    Got the job done. Max was immense in the 3rd. Great signs from so many when the game was there to be won. Couldn't give a toss about the last 10 mins. Rather preserve max & may - marathon not sprint & all that.

    Good to get the win but our last quarter was PATHETIC.

    We need to fix this otherwise the better sides will roll us.

    Fritta is still a selfish player and should be better.

    Yep. Gawn is the GOAT for mine. The amount of wins he generates all over the ground has saved us for years. He papers over A LOT of cracks.

    We worked bloody hard to win the game

    Who cares if we took the foot off the pedal and rested our 33yo workhorse star

    We still won the game

    It’s OK to be happy guys

    6 goal swing there in the last QTR. We gifted them at least 3 goals and we missed at least 3.

    Yep, that last one Spargo all alone at goal square. Selfishness all around.

    Fullerton is a liability. Not sure if jvr wants to play ruck. Can anyone else fill this role?

    Habits matter, % matters and we let a bad habit creep in and we lost valuable %.

    Happy we won of course, but as the players and coaches always say every moment matters.

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

      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.
