186 could get a run.

200+ if Lyon keeps the foot on the throat. Sad.

    Channel 7 played the 2001 game between Essendon and North Melbourne this afternoon. The one where Essendon came back from 69 points down in the second quarter.

    Somehow, I don't see a repeat of that happening today.

    A lucky first goal from a turnover, then TEN UNANSWERED goals.

    "The hardest team to play against" sounds about as sincere as "There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead"

    Both need to go

    Let's face it most of their goals have come from turnovers as well.

    Why on earth does the MFC Board persist with a coach who so clearly is failing? The players are nowhere near as bad as this.

    oh my god, we kicked a goal! 67-13

    I think I worked out our game plan - handball to a man under pressure until the team loses possession

    I think he's putting a show for his new employer!

    That's precisely what he's doing.

    and they very quickly reply 73-13.... sigh

    Lol, the communication are down in our coaches box, probably explains why we have played a little better last 3 minutes.

    Has a coach ever been sacked at half time??

    Neil Balme (i think) about Round 10 1996 at Waverley Park i believe .... Diamond Jo met with him during half time to deliver the news (someone else may know more about this ...i was probably half plastered on the day lol but that's how i remember the call when listening on my tranny. I think it was KB calling the match)

    Sad thing is... I called it. There were very satisfied with themselves last week and have let themselves go to sleep.

    Peter Jackson, I implore you. Ron Joseph sacked Gary Buckenara while he was up there as a temporary CEO. There is a precedent there...

    I've had enough. Get rid of this bloke. He is killing the football club.

    P.S. Funny how SCH, Jumbo and so on don't make appearances during these game day threads.

    I think we may be seeing the last of Mark Neeld this weekend..with Hawthorn and Collingwood to come, the carnage can only get worse. Change is a must...our club is dying!

    Watts was pretty much the only bright spot for that quarter. Attacked the ball and was involved in our only string of uncontested play (Davey, Watts, Dawes, Howe), where Jetta again failed to attack the ball when it was kicked to him at the top of the square. Davey also failed to attack the ball in a separate incident.

    Probably trying to impress his new employer ;-)

    Lol, every one of our players in the D50 and they mark it on the goal line, fairly uncontested really.

    Joke

    Communication has been down since round 1..... 2012

    As a 50 years + demon supporter I am starting to believe "enough is enough".

    Another failed experiment.

    Time to move on - but to where ?

  • Quote

    Some of our players are not even VFL standard.

    At least their supporters are elite.

    • 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.
