Could Rnd 1 Get Any Worse

They flogged us in the NAB, so I should hardly be surprised, but even the much maligned Dockers are looking like a pretty good unit.

Good skills in close, hard at it, sustained pressure, etc. You know, all things we might have thought we were going to see at some stage the season but now appears unlikely.

Suban, Mayne, Ballantyne, Hill, Barlow, Ibbotson are a good crop of young players who look like they have improved. Suban in particular looks like he is gooing to a gun for a left footed, hard running Victorian kid. Geez, i hope Blease can play a bit, because i am pretty sure Suban was taken after him and Strauss.

It now only leaves us and the Tigers as the laughing stocks of the AFL.

    Right now i do not care what other teams are doing, all our energy should be focused towards the MFC.

    They must have a crack against the filth next week.

    Well, we're on the bottom. How worse do you want??!

    The negativity around here is emotionally draining.

    Freo are not likely to win a flag with the list they currently have, and they won't get a chance to improve that list for a while. So I know where I'd rather be sitting.

    We finished on the bottom last season and yet people were expecting miracles over the course of a pre-season. Miracles don't happen in footy.

    Sit and wait and stop obsessing and over analysing every move, kick, handball, quarter, game, loss. It's not going to help anyone.

    What some people call negativity is really just a spade being called a spade.

    All you apologists for mediocrity have your heads buried in the sand.

    Harden up!

    Yeah 10 picks after Strauss, what the heck does that have to do with anything?

    Harden up?

    How about harden up and stop bleating after every hard loss..?

    We know they will happen; we have been told repeatedly to expect them; we have been warned it will take time and games; so why the proclamations of doom and gloom when what we should reasonably expect actually eventuates..?

    There are too many posters keen to pat themselves for doubting Bailey from the start.

    Sick self-congratulatory fools.

    Exactly right, it is YOU, spirit of Barassi, who needs to harden up, YOU are the one whinging like a kid who just dropped his ice cream. We are the wooden spoon side, we got spanked again by the Hawks. We are a long way back. Some of you seem to revelling in this which is just bizarre

    Kurt Tippett needs to die. He made us last D:

    Fremantle 118

    Adelaide 62

    Barlow with 151 SuperCoach points, 33 (?) touches. I got him. :D

    Me to, what a great week of footy.

    Also Strauss has played one game of footy...

    and its a lot easier playing in a winning team.

    • 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.
