Wow Essendon are terrible. If we miss the 8 by a game, I will be so [censored] off.

 

Young Mason cox looks much better than i expected, having a real crack.


Pies making the Dons look like a EFL team, if that.

How in gods name did we lose to such a shite team.....

That's what happens when selectors choose O Mac over Dunn

Yep...and both Viney and Vince in the clear.

Site Administrators

is there a possibility with the current software to put a 6 hour block on offending posters as soon as these weak ass, [censored] for tat defenses of fragile egos break out so that informative discussion of the topic at hand can be allowed to carry on unhindered. This garbage that's allowed to play out is a cancer to every discussion it invades. The rest of us aren't interested in watching these social misfits defending their little online kingdoms. We just want to talk football. 

Site admin, please look in to it. Freeze the offending posters for a few hours so by the time they can post again, the discussion has carried on beyond them.

I think this could be easily resolved by auto-correct.

When someone posts something that begins with "Shhheeeiiiiitttt" it auto-corrects the entire paragraph to "Jack Viney played a great game".

OMac didn't play against Essendon.

Err Omac didn't play that game..

Just walked home from the Anzac Day clash with the pies leading the bombers by 12 goals at half time. I cannot believe that we let this rabble beat us in Round 2!

Losing against Essendon will cost us dearly this season. In such a tight competition, to lose to such a lowly rubbish team, is a sign that we don't really deserve to make finals yet. 

Will need to pull of another miracle win to make up for it.

Exactly right. We will need a 10 game winning streak at least to make up for it. Lotta teams play them twice...

Gee, Howe is a lazy footballer. That wouldn't be tolerated at Melbourne anymore. His effort and follow up on Gwilt then was pathetic.

We better not be the only side to lose to the Bombers in 2016.

Who else are they going to beat?

Carlton? Port?...Aints??

We didn't turn up. If we played them next week we'd beat them easily.

Jeremy Howes second efforts are still non existent

and he's not nearly hard enough at the ball, he just wants soft kicks.

Well, they did beat us and there's nothing we can do about it.

Except use it as a spur to continue our good form, especially if we see other teams whipping them.

As others have said, it could end up being a virtue that they beat us. Knocked out any false confidence and forced us to bring the right attitude every week.

Can never understand this line of thought.

Who's to say the loss to Essendon hasn't directly resulted in the last three performances? Clearly something has switched because our last three games have been consistently good.

We'll never know. It was a [censored] loss. But to hell with living in the past. 

It gave the entire group the lift they needed. 

 

Collingwood players thinking they've won the grand final based on their celebrations after each goal.

Spare me. Rubbish football club and team. Won't win another flag in a long time...

If i were a pies supporter i'd be so annoyed with how they've gone to sleep here, they're going to turn what should have been a 120 point win into a 60 point win, and in a tight competition that's massive.

  • 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.
