Too easy for them to get around us in the midfield. Too many tackles not sticking. They seem to have way too much time with the ball. Running and body strength in desperate need of improvement!
 

Watts just gave up on the chase out of our forward line - pathetic and gone. Probably a nice bloke - never want to see him again...

Watts gone forward thank [censored]

Watts can not be selected after this garbage, can you imagine how Dunn and Strauss must feel with this loser getting games ahead of them

Watts has gone forward, praise The Lord!

He's been running between back and forward all game, hence why he's knackered.

One of the few really trying to chase, his teammates are letting him down on that front.


Number of Kicks are similar, but they have 111 handballs to our 47.

Everything else is pretty even.

McKenzie very underdone looks really slow.

Pederson is an absoloute spud.
 

Should be 6 goals down.

Get a clue mate. Watch how much ground he's covering and how many times he's left the lone chaser, that's why you notice him.

Watts gone forward thank [censored]

Except that he won't / can't / knows not how to ........chase!!!!!

FFFFFFFAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKK

70 possessions less, they kicked 2.8......we should be 5 goals down minimum.

We are confused little boys out there.


Looking at half time

Body language we will win this game.

Stuie - really...

We should be 3 or 4 goals down but still in it. We need to chase a gun mid at seasons end!!!!!!


God almighty boys. Perspective please. I agree that the Lions should be winning by more but be thankful. In the past, the head would have dropped by now and it would have become a procession.

Rodan, Blease, watts are all liabilities, no defensive pressure or second efforts what so ever. Melbourne have a terrible work rate with too many lazy footballers. Until this changes we will stay at the bottom of the ladder.

Side note: while Watts has been woeful and nowhere near enough physical presence, seems to be a bit restricted in his running. Anyone aware of any injury concerns?

Watch. The. Game. Properly.

He's buggered cos he's the only one chasing and the way the zone is setup he's doing everyone's work.

Our skills, fitness, ability to close down space and mental application are just so second rate.

How we are only 6 points down is beyond me. We look absolutely knackered and just can't break tackles or hit targets. Work so hard to bring it out of defence and then a costly turn over happens.

  • 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?

    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.
