Can you de-list someone during a quarter?

Jones is eligible...

 

The usual Matt Jones Scintillating passage.

What a complete potato.
 

great respect from the Freo fans clapping Jones

They know quality when they see it.


Matt Jones is playing??

So it turns out that he is playing

As if the game couldn't get any more shite, this camera work is pathetic. Doing my head in.

I'd replace him with a stick.

La Cross??
 

Jones is in a moon boot

It better be his ankle and NOT the dreaded foot

Breaks my heart to see him on the bench. Stinks!

Jack Grimes! 7 touches in 5 minutes and a goal.

When Hogan gets involved we look a much better side.

Can't fault the effort after the horrible start. We've matched them since then.

The players are throwing this game, right? I thought last week was bad but the lack of urgency is gobsmacking. I know we say "they don't care" but the body language seriously looks like a d-grade under-12s team

I thought their effort in the first half wasn't bad, they've just been outclassed and outcoached by a better team. Two massive issues, they don't know/haven't been taught how to work it through half forward quickly/efficiently to enable a F50 entry that will allow us to score and our turnovers especially when trying to take the game on through the middle continue to slaughter us.

The effort around the contests hasn't been too bad, miles ahead of the last 3 weeks.

Why do we only play like this in the bloody 3rd quarter?

Its so frustrating!

Freo have put the cue in the rack in the middle of the 2nd qtr. Finals are due and they don't want injuries.

It's embarrassing it took 10 goals to zip before we did anything.

We look good playing junk time football.

That was [censored] deplorable Vince. Not a leadership bone in your body.

Yeah sorry mate, how could I possibly give our boys any sort of credit? Silly me.


The reason we have better second halves is because we're so decisively beaten in the first half that teams take the foot off the gas.

It's got nothing to do with us suddenly improving after half-time.

 

Matt Jones....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.

    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.
