Well another year another loss to the [censored] niners.

Couldn’t score in the red zone, Higbee was good, Kupp was amazing as always, onto our third centre which he did well, Niners D was good, our secondary was so much sloppy by-product that the niners skied on last to massive gains. 
Shanahan drew up teasing screens where our players kept trying to get the interception instead of tackling for loss.
Deebo must just love playing us.

    It’s ok, I still have last years NFC game taped… oh and the super bowl 😄

     

    But seriously, McVay needs to play a different style vs niners, shannahan out coaches him all the time and FFS isolate Robinson so he gets one on ones.

    I still am not a fan of Morris, he plays way too soft, the amount of easy 8-12yrd throws Jimmy G made was ridiculous. Jimmy played well, but you need to force him into the harder throws, give him the easy ones and you having a long day on D. Like Brady, he don’t miss often on those sorts of routes.

    Finally got around to watching it tonight, don't ask how I blacked it out that long.

    Our D was fantastic, restricted the run from Akers. Screens were good calls but as has happened so far this year our offense tails off in the second half leaving the defence to go and get the win. The throw out to Juszczyk in the flat is an example of something he doesn't call enough.

    Seems Weddle made a big difference for the Rams last year.

    Speaking of frontrunners, a quick story from the distant past ...

    1977, the MCG and we're playing notable frontrunners (Essendon) ... they led at half time and 3/4 time but we kept at them until we hit the front sometime in the last quarter.  Full of grog with the Dutch courage kicking in, I started on the hated enemy with the frontrunner jibe (as loud as I could possibly shout!)

    We ended up winning so it was back to the Bridge (Richmond) for some more sherbets and a counter dinner!.  We didn't win a lot back then but that was a memorable victory!

    I've got a few (virtual) silvers (across the 2 comps) but Gorg has a stack of Bronze medals ... as well as 4 wins IIRC

    The tipping comp is like taking out a 3 leg multi with one pick not saluting ... over and over and over again

    There's some science to it but you need a punters luck to win

    Week 5 is a classic example ... there's sure to be 2 or 3 upset road winners but which one's? 

    The bonus point on offer does allow tipsters to take a chance or 2

    So our G who was playing C is now out 4-6weeks, we have a rookie 3rd choice C starting this week, another injury to the secondary. 
    What ever happens this week, Morris needs to play our secondary different and McVay needs to work out ways to get the ball out quickly cos the cowboys D will be licking their lips.

    Yeah I certainly don't find myself saying we own the Rams anymore after they got us in the one that mattered!

    Jimmy's rhythm was really on in this game. I was surprised how many throws he put right on the numbers and even had some perfect throws dropped. I'm cynical but I just don't expect this from him each week. However his comnfidence was up and as you said it's probably not going to help giving up all the underneath stuff.

    Being a bit silly here but I think you need to give Eric Weddle a call because those safties are a bit shakey, thoughht he had a massive impact last year.

    Weddle isn’t the answer, not sure how fit he would be after tearing his pec in the SB.

    we are down three of our secondary so it’s pretty much Ramsey and rookies. We miss a great edge rusher Floyd has been poor, Fuller keeps popping hamstrings. And the offence is keeping our D out there, both our O and opponents O.

    About to have our ninth starter on the oline with the back up Centre (who is our right G) now injured.

    A steady line really is the secret sauce in this league. Well that and having an actual QB.

    Having to shuffle doesn't help though.

    Olines are seriously underrated. If a team went out and got top 3-5 in every position their QB would have the best year they have ever had.

    • 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 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.
