What we can take out of the game is that Newton's time is up. He will not be at the club next year.

Who's bone head move was it to re-sign him for 2 years last year?

    I'm just [censored] I can't watch us play Carlton next week.

    We did the exact same thing v the Hawks in the 2007 preseason, so it isn't like it has happened before.

    Pathetic last quarter - and that was the only quarter of football that was anything like what Melbourne will experience this year.

    In the first three quarters, I would have looked good out there. The opposition wasn't trying.

    What we can take out of the game is that Newton's time is up. He will not be at the club next year.

    Sylvia was exceptionally disappointing.

    Miller still does not have good enough football brains.

    +1

    Newton is a disgrace to the jumper. I can't believe they resigned this hack last year. He just doesn't want to be out there. Sylvia is a pretty boy and always will be. Saw him laughing afterwards. Bah!

    As for Miller, he needs to play as far up the ground as possible. I don't want him close to goals and wasting set shots. Put Bate, Green, Wonna and Davey in there and alternate Johnson and Jamar.

    Big time. Worst player at the club, with Bell a close 2nd.

    Bell looked very sluggish out there today. But I thought his efforts were good today.

    Gippy

    Why do I put myself through this? Why do I care about the MFC???

    I wonder this myself... we are a laughing stock. How could you let a team double their entire score in the last quarter. FFS we scored one solitairy point in the last quarter.

    This game meant so much to us sponsor wise, prize money wise, member wise.. We had it in the bag and just handed it back without a whimper.

    Typical Melbourne....

    At least Bell goes hard, puts his body on the line, tackles, runs, chases.

    Newton tries to take one-handed marks, fly for impossible speccies and when he finally gets the ball he does the lazy thing and kicks it around his body. I have never seen a footballer care less. He truly looks like he just doesn't give a [censored], and the worse thing is, he kept Zomer out of the team today.

    Someone please hide him away until his contract is up, because if I have to see this guy pretending to be a Melbourne footballer again I might just be forced to poke both my eyes out with a stick.

    Thank god for players like Petterd who have so much heart they almost make up for his lack of one!

    I would otherwise say, "eh! It's just an NAB Cup match", but you're right - this game meant so much!

    WTF just happened? I wonder if that company which is on the fringe of sealing a sponsorship deal just did a runner... I know I would.

    I don't think we need a petition. He's mind is already there so half the work is done, especially if he goes willingly.

    EXACTLY the point i'm currently arguing to a Dorks supporter

    It was the absolute worst thing that could have happened.

    1. We have the Youth Summit tomorrow. I sincerely hope this performance doesn't turn people away, it well could.

    2. Memberships will certainly suffer. We'll get some really bad press from this, and we deserve it.

    3. We need a sponsor. Potential sponsors won't have been particularly impressed with that last quarter performance. It also means we won't have a game featured on television until round 1, and even then, its probably Foxtel anyway.

    • 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.
