Brock McLean going backwards & Col Sylvia moving forward. Brock Maclean had a half hearted effort today and it really stood out gave collingwood atleast 3 - 4 goals by lazy turnovers. Coaches need to make the hard call on him plus a few others to move forward and be succesful? We as supporters shouldnt have to witness this laziness & pea hearted attempts towards the football. PS Look what happened when Col put head & body on the line fantastic game again

    Brock is a scrumber. Like Jones. Too slow and not a good enough football brain.

    Criticize his game all you like, but if anyone feels the need to call him lazy and a pea heart, they do not deserve a response, because that statement is both offensive and so so so wrong.

    Totally agree with you here HammerTime. There is no doubt Brock loves the club and always wanna give 100%. But is just seems his body is not working the way he would like to. He is TERRIBLY slow, not only in running, but also in his disposal and decision making. He had something like 6 clangers today and had a kicking effiecincy of of 17%! Numbers that just aren;t good enough for this standard, let alone a future captain of this club! Maybe a run in the 2's, just to get some cofidence back, might be the avenue to see the real Brock back!

    There's nothing wrong with Brock's footy brain. His body's not right. Simple.

    Some of his decsion making and his disposal is really second rate. And that comes from above the shoulders.

    And he is sllooowwwwww! And around Beamer and Jones , the three molasses brothers looker slower.

    You're absolutely right Rhino god we looked slow through the middle today.

    I know he's not much but when's Buckley back?

    At least he provides a bit of run and carry. People say we are losing games because of our forward line I beg to differ I think its cause of our one paced, one dimensional midfield.

    He isnt. Buckley has OP and is still 6 weeks away. He has pace but he just butchers the ball and I think Bucks is in doubt come seasons end when the list is finalised.

    AFL site has 1 clanger and 51% (interesting they have Sylvia at #1 with 6) .

    Where did you pull these from?

    I have my stats wrap here for those interested.

    • 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.
