May - better after first

Gawn - no votes today

Chandler. - strong running game

Rivers - often an observer

Petracca - important but limited

Fritsch - seemingly without passion

Salem - just a plodder

Oliver - couldn’t handle tag

Lindsay - needed more involvement

Johnson - replace with Roo

Pickett - unfortunately well held

Melksham - little drive today

Turner - a solid game

McVee - not his best

Langford - looking very tired

Windsor - poor under pressure

Langdon - untypically quiet game

Sharp - Viney obviously replaces

Sparrow - little involvement again

Bowey - little defensive drive

Petty - limited contesting effect

Lever - liability in defense

Laurie - made no difference

I enjoy your 3-Worders JB.

I concur with these 69 words, yet, we kicked seven more scores and had 17 more I50s, which baffles me that we looked so poor yet we did so well in the I50s!

All I can do is turn to a high-power: Buddha .

Buddha once said: "this is not as bad as it seems".

Anti-Saint to Buddha: "no, but our season is over and winter has only jus begun, now tthat is bad Buddha, when we have blown three seasons with poor kickin'"!

Buddha: "Anti-Saint, you win"!

    I think Lindsay is the better player, I'm more concerned with Langford on a wing & in general. fumbles too much below his knees and gets caught out in 2 way running, would rather Windsor or Langdon back on one wing.

    Lindsay is good on the other...

    And Langford is too slow for the wing. Better rotating forward and in the guts.

    And yes, please put Windsor back on the wing 🙏

    To be fair Budda may have downed a few single malts at the time of that famous quote.

    Fair enough. Just think commentators are talking him up a bit. Langford is likely tired.

    • 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?

    • 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.
