Geeze that Bail kick is frustrating. So much good work leading up to it gets undone.

 

Spencer yet to have a hitout...

We have been managing Jesse through the year, after training on Friday he wasn't fully recovered from last week 1/2

There is no God :wacko:

All for looking after Jesse but if we raised the white flag before the game even starts its a bad message to players.

We're a chance now.

Boo. [censored]

Lame.

So we've rested Hogan and he'll someone sit out the next 2 or 3

FFS - I can't be bothered going back but are you the same posters who vehemently criticized the club for "mismanaging Hogan" last year when he played with a sore back?

I am absolutely certain that the club and their healthcare team know a hell of a lot more about what is his p ogled why he is being rested

 

Our trouble is that we don't take games. This one is up for grabs.

It's like the players sit down and tell themselves that we can't win - the opposition is better than us.

Hawthorn would be struggling to lead a VFL match today.


Put Toumpas in the middle, tell him to just 'have a go'.

I want to see if this kid is as ordinary as he looks.

Surely he has something to give, he went at pick 4, he looks out of his depth.

Time to sink or swim kid.

Ugh. This is just sad to watch

Our forwardline is non existent without Hogan and our backline is all at sea.

David Spud Hale doing what he always does against us. FMD.
 

This is going to get ugly.

Hawks are setting up players 40m off the play. Their players near the ball carrier harass our player forcing him to kick it quickly.

We kick in hurridly, they easily mop up.

We kick to a contest, they have numbers to force it to ground and mop up.

They then use these players to stream forward once they have it.

We dont have the half back runners to break the lines. We dont have the footskills to break down their zone.


We have Garlett, Dawes, Garlett all capable of kicking goals.

The forward line isn't the problem.

The movement forward continues to condemm us as it did last year. Zero confidence going forward.

Mitchell is killing us, should that mark to Hale have been paid?

The one where he kicked the goal? Yes. without a doubt. (in my opinion)

This is absolutely terrible. Out run, out muscled, out skilled.

We don't care about winning or kicking a winning score, only care about reducing the other teams score.

Take your chances and take the game on ffs!

i like crossy, he's just to slow

God i hate how we continually have scoring droughts. It happens every week when we lose. Frustrating as hell


Game over

Why the actual [censored] is Spencer playing ahead of Jamar?

Yep, we play like a team that's already lost.

We haven't given a puff for three weeks in a row.

David Spud Hale doing what he always does against us. FMD.

Seriously sickened me when I heard he was in the team.

That's Roos' ethos.

FFS Bail, never want to see him in the team again

Hey we doubled our score from last week's first half in the first 5 minutes. I'm impressed!

With our amazing "No pressure" forward line and sweet footskills we should only lose this by 80 or so

 

Lol........

  • 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.
