NAB Challenge 2 - Melbourne v Geelong

Panicking under pressure here

 

Turnovers are always going to be costly vs Geelong: they are still very classy.

We can learn from this.

Most of Geelong goals are from our turnovers.

we are costing ourselves not being outplayed, that's a huge positive, Geelong are opportunistic, if we don't make this many mistakes we probably win this game.

 

hey guess what??

another turnover, another goal! blease this time the offender.

49-80.

The umpire calling play on when he didn't definitely didn't help his cause.


Too much handball, compose yourself and hit a target by foot

hey guess what??

another turnover, another goal! blease this time the offender.

49-80.

The worst thing about that was he drifted off his line meaning the umpire called play-on. He essentially went from having a free kick to a kick under pressure for no reason at all.

Dumb.

Old habits die hard I guess......

 

At least we have a coach to talk to them at 3/4 time......


New contract for Jack Watts. You get 1 million per year. Every time you appeal for a free kick and don't get it you pay back 50,000. Over a course of a season he probably ends up paying to play.


Few late goals and were right in this.......we got the wind in the last q dont forget....

Old habits die hard I guess......

absolutely

We really need this, we need a good team to put us under the pump, we will learn more from how we respond now than any other situation we could be in

Simple lesson. Share the ball until you are out in space. Not share the ball until you are out in 50m of space but have gone a mile backwards. The extra 2 handballs are killing us.


Getting smashed in the centre tonight

 

FIRE UP DEMONS> LOVE IT SPENCER!!!!

Good for Toump to wear one and get up and keep going (presuming he's ok).

Dog act Smetts.

Six weeks?

Burnes - you are paid to mark those. Go home

  • 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.

  • 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.
