We probably should've won that by 4-5 goals with how dominant we played in that finally quarter. We kicked 4.8 for the quarter.

Our set shots are terrible. The only time I have any confidence of us kicking a goal from a set shot is from the goal square or Melksham around the corner. Everything else I expect to miss and we usually do

Side note only and it's been said ad nauseam but WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH TRAC'S SET SHOTS???

Considering I put my house, car, partner and kids on it I’m feeling quite relieved. Also I’ve now got 2 houses, 2 cars, 2 partners and 4 kids. Sheesh.

Validates all those fellow Demonlanders who called you a Mormon.

 

Dumped FOX years ago, left KAYO in the dust early last year, Free to Air no signal. No BT or Dwayne. No loss.

Listened to ABC radio and had the pleasure of listening to Jeff White on special comments.

Best win since the double in Adelaide in '25 over a year back.

Go you Mighty Demons!!!

The team reached a new level of intensity in the last q. Almost like 2021. They really went in full on and lifted each other.

A remarkable win.

Some heroic X Lindsay moments

Kid is a total gun.

And in 2-3 years time he'll be a pretty big unit whi I can def see going thru the middle.

Amazing result and peeved off a tonne of Essendon fans at the same time. Perfect weekend :)

Outstanding last 3 quarters. Sack Goody hey?

From the points of view of the impending heart attack, the stroke and the nervous breakdown, yes, it's time to have our players play with this improved capability, and to set it as a regular occurrence.

I continue to be impressed with Bowey's rapid rise this season.

Many could argue that he gets a lot of easy ball with his role but there were several occasions where he put his body on the line.

Went at 86% DE as well.

His clean hands on a ground ball get in that last quarter were huge. He looks like a player that is full of confidence, it’s good to watch.

Massive win, any we smashed them in the final quarter (should've won by 3-4 more goals). I love the fact we finished with a flurry, I just wish we were more clinical.

Max is a god!

Melksham continues to show his worth.

Bowey for a little guys cut a huge figure.

Clarry played a shut down role but hit back the other way.

AJ competed hard.

Chin continues to have key moments that he's taking now.

AJ is rough, but a proud and passionate guy who will give 100%

Serious x factor. , I think we should

Has that ,gees this guy is a psycho look and attack on the ball, that puts fear in the opposition

For anyone posting in the votes thread, please consider giving a couple of votes to Fages for throwing their most dangerous forward in Gardiner back in the last.

😂

In all seriousness though, didn’t matter who they played forward in the last with our dominance.

That guaranteed GF ticket might just get a call up this year after all!

haha. i thought i'd wasted my money as well

You know what.... possibly some learnings were implemented.

Still some way to go but we saw a far better side , saw something more of what some can do.

Great game....let it not be unique.

They're always huge.

When they build his statue at the G it has to be of him taking an overhead mark

Was as sure he was gonna kick that would-be goal on the run near the end as Fritta (poor guy’s got the horrible yips) was gonna miss his set shot. Mind you, if he HAD kicked it, I probably would’ve expired. He and the Bison aren’t just skilled, they’re strong, gutsy, and most excitingly, really really smart footballers.

Exactly. He's a guy who has been given an opportunity at the top level & he seems to not want to waste it

Love watching his dream come true.
His goal was a determined ripper.

What a great win. Pressure, intensity, structure and determined concentration across 4 quarters. Seeing Lindsay, Bowey, Sparrow, AJ continuing to press in with only 2 minutes to go - wow.

Gawn, Petracca and Oliver (&Viney): who knows how much longer we have these all together? But it is a pure pleasure to see the best Dees midfield play like they did today.

Bowey and Melksham were terrific.

Looks like Fritsch got the email - he was very different today. Holding his marks, tackling.

With Viney and Lever to come back things look promising.

AJ's last quarter was strong. His running capacity was a surprise to me.

Feeling rather good.

12 minutes ago, Gorgoroth said:

Lever back means Disco up forward I reckon which prob means AJ is out.

Thing is Disco is playing extremely good footy as the third tall down back. He was critical to this win. Tmac and May look like they have full faith in him impacting and spoiling the contest over the top. He was sensational today.

For AJ at least!

I've also thought he deserves a statue.

100% i had him delisted in the near future at the start of the season, but he has turned it around epically. I'd love to see him get on a few chains and HB receives and kicking it from the front half more as well. Once/if those score involvements start going up, then he'll start getting noticed a lot more as well.

  • 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.
