If Trengove wasn't pick two he would be delisted at the end of the season. Clearly he has shown nothing in four years that shows he is better than a good VFL player. Making him captain as a marketing ploy must be the worst decision in the 150 history of the club.

Letting James McDonald go and firing Norm Smith were worse decisions.

 

Now where are those who thought Mitch wouldn't be a big loss......

the starting backline today was the bigger problem... it sapped the players belief.

* I don't think Clark will be back for weeks I suspect

anyone who won't have a Dip has to go Out !!!

nice goal from pederson, but surely if dawes and clark are both fit one day he isnt anywhere getting a game
 

Seriously. We are just woeful. Absolutely woeful.

It's embarrassing. Whoever organized our midfield should be shot. Seriously it's not even VFL standard. Forget being poor, we are always on the wrong side.

Mark Neeld has to be accountable for bringing in absolute spuds like Pederson and Rodan and getting rid of players like Moloney without replacing their role in the team. It's irresponsible.

Have to agree Jaded we are the worst side in the comp, GWS were very unlucky, it appears that our players may be good at running 3k time trials but haven't got a clue how to play football. When I see Jamar palm the ball to the left and all our mids are on the right I just wonder, why?
 

Carlton will smash us next week 100+ loss coming ip

Betts, Yarran and Garlett are all watching this together and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and then falling over from laughing so hard.


Trengove is not in our best 22 for mine.

Hes had 6 tackles which I'd say is doping something. You should open your eyes when you watch/

Freudian slip?

Why do the boys walk around with smiles on their faces and having a laugh with opposition players after losses!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


Rodan and Pederson have secured their positions in the side next week by getting a goal each in junk time.

Seriously, we couldn't do any worse by dropping both of them and playing kids like Taggart or Kent.

i hope new CEO Peter Jackson starts headhunting a great coach as soon as he starts

if the MFC arent already making into inquiries into John Worsfold then we may as well fold

Okay Neeld apologists. Start your engines. It's show time.

Oh wait, we're in a development phase aren't we? I know that because Neeld mentioned it for the 5672nd time in the pre-match interview, without being prompted. I'll go back to being content with barely managing to beat GWS. That's where we're at now. Mark told me so.

Because it doesn't hurt enough.


In all seriousness - we are training at an elite level and are in a development phase.

There's a guy playing for Brisbane who's had 34 touches and 10 clearances, apparently he was a free agent last year... Wonder why we didn't go after him?

He didn't want to come to the club.

Does development mean forget how to play football and let the opposition gather possessions at will?

 

Good to at least see JW have a big fly when he went forward. Jamar is too predictable in the ruck and too gentle with taps. should thump it clear occasionally just to keep the other side guessing.

  • 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.
