Noah leads marks to a wavering lace out pass.

Kicking for goal is keeping opposition in striking distance.

Billy the kid keeps his feet in the clinches.

Gomez Adams doin’ alright fourth defensive mark.

Patrick Ireland big grab in the square goal!

    i think we have something to work with here still 18 or 19, don't think he is ready for a game this but next year definitely worth a shot

    he's not yet 19

    very raw but has pace, which is a big plus

    Gee would love to see kynan & taj produce something tonight

    along with billings and laurie, they're both very vanilla - show nothing that indicates that they can step up to afl level

    patrick ireland is an interesting type - not hugely tall, but mobile and attacks it in the air

    Interesting there – not differentiating between a tunnel, and the forward player just running under the ball??

    Young defensive talls going well. Howes intercept.

    Verrall has got stronger in the gym standing up in ruck against taller opponent.

    Taj Woewodin nice touch over the boundary.

    Bees 🐝 umpire assist goal.

    Casey get repeat inside stoppages.

    Will Verrall free fifty goal.

    It’s hard to believe how many absolute garbage commentators Ch7 has.

    Adams and Howes by far mfcs best. Culley doing ok as well as Billings. Laurie struggling it seems playing purely as a half forward.

    Mitch Hardie. Controversial thinking. Draft him in. Late pick. He will walk into our best 22. Know how to play half forward. Knows how to kick goals. Hits targets.

    Skill errors galore by both teams at the half

    Nobody apart from Howes, and perhaps, Adams pressing for senior selection at this stage.

    Verall looks like he is worth persevering with, especially in that second ruck role, if he can develop some forward craft. Howes stands out. Billing’s has been good but desperately looking for something big from our younger guys, e.g. Kentfield.

    Surprised how poor the standard is, wouldn’t hold their own against a decent suburban team, absolutely hopeless.

    Menthol and Kentfield , not up to it.

    Thank Christ they’re not umpiring.

    Charlie Spargo “provocateur” heats up the half time entertainment.

    Cooler heads prevail it was looking like an all in stoush brewing.

    5 goals 5 behinds balances the ledger.

    Positive spin on the game, it’s a contested defensive pressured performance. Casey ground some ascendancy that qt.

    • 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.
