Unbelievable game, pity we had an extra 3 opponents, especially when they went forward.

 

some costly errors by U.S., but hold your heads up boys, expect that sort of effort every week

    Was just unfair.  The umpires gifted North the game.

    I [censored] hate that team and their pathetic cry baby coach.  Bunch of pretenders

    Glad I couldn't watch it, as the combination of bias umpiring, Brent Harvey kicking 6 and North winning a close one would have pushed me over the [censored] edge. 

    Sounds like a decent effort at least after last week. But again why did we let them kick 8 in a row? It's [censored] like that we need to eradicate out of our DNA so that we can stop chasing impossible wins.

    Anyone know how many goals they got from frees? Be interesting to know

    Showed good grit to get back into it and but held out my a more mature and experienced side. We were spent in the last and with that went the run and execution. The frustration now is when we are on with the inside and outside balance we are breathtaking to watch but we fall into old way too quickly. Take that effort and style in and you win most weeks.

    I'm really looking forward to the day they completely drop off a cliff and fall back to the bottom.

    Have the oldest list and are not likely to win the flag.

    Well said. Umpires went blind when we were due for free kicks. Very proud of the boys. Go Dees

    Overall free kicks even.

    but the decision not to pay the mark to Harmes at the end was a disaster, compounded by the absurd free to Goldstein in the second quarter. It's not the number of frees but where u get them

    Theft. 6 goals from frees. Many doubtful. Frees not given to us. Marks not given to us. Few mistakes and it takes three over 34 year olds to give them about 12 goals.

  • Quote

    Excluding the first quarter, THAT is the intensity we must bring to every, single game.

    It is the standard that'll see us win the next 3 in a row.

    Fancy letting that little runt get 6.0. You'd be hard press to find an easier 6 goals. 

    Hate to say it but we should have had all the run in the last and to have fewer rotations available was yet another major coaching error. We were getting smashed in the last and that should have been expected given North's experience. The game was ultimately lost in that 10-minute window, half-way through the last, while we were trying to slow down our rotations to stretch them out. They had more run and it showed.

    Also, Dunn is finished. I am so sick of him and Garland dumbing up our team so damn much. You have a game there to be won and you look sideways. Astonishing. Just a dumb footballer. Can't wait until the final weeds of the Daniher and Bailey eras are pulled out of this club. Massive liability down back, once again. That mis-timed jump as Boomer and two other North players fell behind was just astonishing. Should have stayed grounded. 10-year experienced player making a rookie mistake.

    1000. 

     

    Also the amount of times I'd have watched this game if we won. 

     

    I'm so angry. 

     

    Also would more funds fix this site / get a new one? I'll chuck in, this site is a lemon.

    Jaded effort at the contest in first was pretty good but we turned it over and they killed us on the outside and were kicking with a big wind. Cant say I was happy at quarter time but the score made it look worse than the application.

    umpirs can lick my left nut thr cheating [censored]!

    So Angry..

    Really good effort. Two clangers from Watts and Vanders cost us. Umpiring was a disgrace. Frost, M Jones not up to it and must go. Wagner not ready. Looking forward to Garlett, Brayshaw, ANB and Petracca coming in.

    LOL loss 16 against a mob of pretenders, and some are trying to blame it on the umpires.............. again............

    MFC have WAY too many supporters who are too easy to please.

    Glad the sugar-coaters fund this chit. Means i can keep saving the money i would have spent on membership for stuff i actually enjoy.

    This was a statement game believe it or not. Makes me laugh.

    Or not.

    Geez, the umpires better be careful. Gave us a rough run in rnd 1, we're appalling and had real impact in rnd 3...

    One thing you couldn't wish on anyone is the pent-up rage of 1000 years of Demon frustration suddenly turning to you and holding you responsible!

    Meanwhile, some congratulations are in order -

    Jazk Ziebell, 19 tackles, equalling Jude Bolton's all-time record.

    Max Gawn 63 hitouts, equal 4th of all time.

    Brent Harvey (you utter, utter, jammy bstrd) outright career-high goals. Should we take comfort that we were beaten by a once-in-412-games achievement?

    Gawn monstered Goldy in the ruck, but Goldy did the job around the ground, including a couple of soft goals from frees. What a battle, 172 SuperCoach points each.

    • 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.
