    TBH Macca, not a lot. KC just hit the turbo button on the offensive side of the ball and their D did great. Jones with two batters and a finger tip to help deflect the ball enough and the niners couldn’t run the ball as they needed big yards quickly. 
    sure the D gave u0 a few big plays but to me it was more what KC did than what the niners didn’t.

    And we have 3 joint winners in the post season tipping comp ... DemonDave,  Dee Zephyr and a fast finishing JV7.

    Well done fellas!

    All 3 finished with 9 points ... Gorg was just a smidgen off winning outright but just missed with KC's winning score being 3 points outside of Gorg's nominated score.

    I'll post up the hall of fame results later on but here is the final tally board.

    9 - DemonDave,  Dee Zephyr,  JV7

    8 - Go the Biff,  Gorgoroth

    7 - Macca

    5 - Clintosaurus

    4 - Dappa Dan

    2 - DeeSpencer

    24 hrs have passed and I suffice to say I haven’t been in a great mood today. Not feeling like facing it but if you ride high with the successes you gotta front up in the down times (Much like MFC). 

    Been listening to a lot of San Fran talkback radio today and it seems the general consensus is to find 1 single thing to place the blame on. All I can really say is that it doesn’t exist, there’s a few reasons collectively but if fans want a bottom line to justify their misery they are barking up the wrong tree. 

    Kyle Shanahan - Generally good play calling as he has done all year. The doubt seemed to creep in an was caught in two minds before the half. I think if you want to go with an attitude towards a game it has to be consistent. You either decide the points you have are not enough and that you need before especially considering the opposition or you protect what you have and keep running the ball. Kyle trusts Jimmy G but did he trust him 100% with every fibre of his being to go and win it like Reid would with Mahomes? I’m not sure. Deebo Samuel was hot in the first half, he needs to touch the ball more than twice in the second. Mostert could have touched it more at 20-10 up as well but hindsight always wins. We lost our dare a bit but for people to blame Kyle solely and call him an idiot play caller is pretty stupid considering this idiot was a massive part in us getting to a Super bowl. Partial blame.

    Jimmy G - I’ve heard about 5 completely different assessments on his game ranging from sh*thouse to played his heart out to if he hits Sanders and we win he gets MVP. My assessment is he played reasonably well and for the most part did what we wanted but went to pieces in the 4th. Speaking of the ball thrown to Sanders it was a disappointing overthrow as it really gave him no chance to even get a potential PI call. Jimmy actually outplayed Mahomes in the first 3 quarters but here is the kicker: He struggles with blitzes, he has this terrible habit of watching the receiver off the line and subsequently telegraphing his throw and the one that really hurts is the number of open receivers he missed on the night. The Kittle one was the most obvious but I counted at least 5 open men on underneath routes that he simply didn’t see. This is why I can’t totally blame Kyle and these things just have to be rectified if he is the guy for the future. I’ve heard some dumb things this morning about wanting to trade him, is he a top 5 QB in the league? No. But he is absolutely a top 10 QB in the league and anyone who thinks otherwise and says something stupid like we should trade him and get a certain 43 y.o native to the area should just remove their head from their rear end immediately. Partial blame

    The defense and that 3rd and 15 play -  Once again this sport seems to get two completely different opinions on whether someone or a unit is playing well or not. My mate thought our defense had under performed considering the hype. The contrary in my opinion, we played our game plan the exact way we needed to against a generation talent at QB and some serious weapons including a literal track sprinter. The secondary kept these receivers in front of them, Buckner and Bosa totally balled out. But THAT play I can’t get my head around. Mosley went to pick up Watkins when really he just needed to stand his ground, this led to Jimmy Ward needing to turn and the rest was history, the momentum swung and we couldn’t get it back. It’s a play you just need to make to be champions, we didn’t. But you can’t fault the defense as a whole on the day. Mosley will be kicking himself but there is a very small amount of blame there and I imagine he would learn from it big time.

    Officiating - Nope, nothing to see here. The game was reffed very well in my opinion. Kittle at the end of the half, yes it was OPI. Couple of no calls in the game that might have helped either side and maybe a 50-50 that didn’t go our way but there’s never been a game called perfectly. Not accepting anyone saying that the refs cost us, sorry. No blame

    And then there’s the age old line which is pretty much correct in every big NFL game. The other team made the plays when they counted, we didn’t. Such is life.

    @layzie

    great summary. I agree with pretty much all of it, Jimmy G to me is a Belichick QB. He is a system QB, not going to run around and make Rodgers like plays but also not going to try things that aren’t there. He is a very decent and safe QB.

    I think he will be fine. We will no longer be a every diwn player but what I saw last year he was still productive behind a oline that struggled and a play caller who would stop using him for big periods of the game. You have got a gem and I’m gutted.

    Jags traded Ngakoue and released Fournette. Not sure what to think. May be lucky to win a game this season.

    I’ve enjoyed it a lot, due to covid etc it’s certainly different and then flipping between the two squads means you get less fill.

    • 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.
