Move on from last week.  Yeah, righto, Port are making us look bad... we knew that already.  No need to keep rubbing salt in your own wounds, it's still good to see the druggies getting smashed.

The Toump has had 8 touches as well, although again, none of them seem all that damaging.

    Perhaps 'tired' is Roos's code word for 'crap'.

    Possibly. But if we supporters don't start to get really angry

    NOTHING WILL CHANGE

    Port doing more for itself and the game in China in one night than Melbourne has in the 8 years it's been trying to build there.

    Port are doing exactly what we should have done last week.. very frustrating

    Yep Bombers came out again playing with some intent- but because they are complete rubbish port absorbed it then proceeded to run all over them just as we should've done. Disgraceful performance .

    Never thought seeing Essendon get smashed would make me feel so sad... don't think it'll last for too long though.

    I don't think Wines has improved much, i mean he started really well in his first year but really to me hasn't improved a heap since then. 

    Jack Viney will overtake him if he hasn't already.

    Wines's first 2 seasons were awesome, dropped of last year

    Definitely agree. He appears to of stagnated. He looks slow. He isn't finding much of the footy. I am sure he'll bounce back, but it is a concern for Port. If he doesn't bounce back, they are stuck with a one paced, slow mid, who doesn't run both ways, because that is what I am seeing at the moment.

    Would Toumpas have been this bad were he drafted somewhere else or has he just been Melbourned?

    He is so far from the player who dominated the under age years and the SANFL, but i do think it's far more to do with him, then Mfc

    Deer in headlights. I think our awfulness just kind of amplified it.

    Lovely goal assist by Joe

    He doesn't just move like a giraffe he actually looks like one.

    I thought that was his mouth guard to start with...

    I hope Toumpas does well. I know he cops a lot of heat (I have never been a fan), but I would like to see him succeed. He needs to live in the gym, the guy I am seeing out there is weak, he cannot handball 5 metres, he lacks strength. It is a strength issue, and an above the shoulders issue. He panics a bit. I used to panic when I played footy, so I understand, I only solved that problem after hours of sparring sessions (boxing), and learning how to harness energy and aggression - and to use it effectively. When we are calm, we can see all options, that appears to be Toumpas issue, he panics, and in turn, he does not use the football as well as he could.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
