Looks like Ross Lyon has killed his players

No more gas in the Tank. 

Ross is a great coach on paper but his window of success is short...

Freo have made a horrible decision giving him a new long term contract.

 

Freos forward line is abysmal. I know thats a lot coming from us after years of low scoring, but they have very little in the pipeline. Ross has absolutely screwed them. Has the St kilda stain all over it again.

 

Roo and Joey are both in doubt for next week.

Great for us as well. Who would want to go there now. Rebuild on

Such a shame.

The Fremantle v Carlton game is putrid. Skill errors, bad decision making. Just awful.

Are you sure you weren't watching a replay of ours circa 2012 - 14?


Dwayne Russell talking up Carlton saying they're going up. No [censored] both teams were 0-4.

Exactly. There is nowhere but up when you are winless. You can't really sink any lower. Unless you are Freo, apparently.

I would rather Reiwoldt than Montagna next week. 

Montagna is the Brent Harvey of St Kilda, kills us each time we play them. 


I feel a bit dirty, but couldn't help but find myself smiling for Mason Cox after kicking a goal with his first kick in AFL and what a stage to do it, first kick of the game.

 

cloke must have loved it ......

Mason Cox first game first kick goals. 

Was he in that show The Recruit in 2014? I seem to recall an American named Mason (could be wrong).

There was an American but it wasn't Cox.

  • 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.
