GAME DAY - Round 7

I have come to the realisation that we are never going to be a competitive football club. We are too far gone.

Therein lies the problem - the competition never stops evolving.

We're ducked.

 

I only follow the scores for two reasons these days. First, in the hope of seeing a goal kicked so we don't go through a match without scoring any at all. Second, in the hope that we do not lose a game by over 200 points. Both will happen soon but at least we seem to have avoided both again today. I don't expect these guys to compete because they quite simply won't.

An apologist culture where competing is not the highest priority. We do not belong in the AFL and will not be there in 5 years time.
 

It'd almost be worth delisting everybody and starting from scratch, is that even possible? We need to cut out whatever cancer has infected this club

Win? Are you [censored] kidding???

How about chasing and tackling. And manning up when we don't have the ball???

We can't/won't do the basics. They are a pea-hearted bunch of losers.

Watts might be smarter than we give him credit for.

Asking to be dropped this week might have saved him....How pathetic we are as a club.

That is a scary thought Ethan but, unfortunately, is now worthy of serious consideration.


Dawes 2 marks. Spencer nil.

Just not enough return from our big men.

I'm not sure how N.Jones gets away from getting a lashing from this site.

Because when Ablett has a sore shoulder he gets to take a well paid holiday. When Jones has a sore shoulder he's expected to continue to lead a midfield full of crap players.

Getting the base tan for the hipster holiday, Earl?

Yes off to Noosa soon! Can't come soon enough.

We'll be bottom 2 again this year for sure

The question how many Melb players would get a game with Hawthorn. There are not too many. McDonald and Garland only.

Disagree Jaded... Sorry

Nothing good comes from Collingwood.

Neeld, Dawes, Lamumba...

Peter Moore says a Brownlow hi to you boydie.

I don't understand how we have had so many high draft picks and still have one of the least skilled side in the HISTORY of the competition. We are a debacle!

I didn't expect to win but at least keep it to a 10 goal loss!

Back to auskick for you Garland


Insipid stuff but the AFL did us no favours at all in piling on these three games in a row. Confidence will take a hammering from this. If you want a competitive Melbourne, this isn't helping.

I wouldn't blame the AFL fixturing. We would have had to play them at some point. I'm just sick of being uncompetitive against the better sides. When does this crap end?

Jones just shaking his head at Howe

Howe can [censored] off - useless footballer, drop him to Casey and see what we get for him in trade week. A 3rd round pick would be about right.

And to think GWS offered pick 6 last year!!

It ends when the league finally puts us out of our misery and we fold/merge/relocate. And when that day finally comes, we will have nobody to blame but ourselves. In a strange kind of way i hope it is soon, if only so i can stop feeling so [censored] bad every weekend.

  • 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.
