Our defence can't work the zone at all. Garland and McDonald are one on one players and they now can't do that. Like someone else here said, I used to like garland but he is done now. 

 

That has disaster written all over it. Thank goodness for Clarry.

 

Surely Viv Michie has played his last game in the Red & Blue. 3 qrts of football and not one contested possession.

I'm sick of that bloke getting second chances.


We are a stupid and dumb football team.

Hogan's kicking action is pus.

Hunter is a ducking annoying player.

Add McLean to that.

ia there any chance we can not drop a mark, not fumble, not handball to a stationary manned player and kick a [censored] goal  

geez this is a very very frustrating game

He could be tagging someone. But, yes, ANB has earned his call up.

He'll replace Vince next week.

Hundred percent agree 

Oh and watts hasn't done anything for a month and Garland should never have been brought back.  At least Dunn has a crack.

I think he has. Couple of young blokes have been plum average. Above all, ANB is a smart player. We have lacked that today.

Campbell leading Gawn a merry dance. Hasn't been his day today Gawn, he talks of trying to become the #1 ruckman, let's see if he wants to dig deep, even when it's not his day

We all have a crack Dr. 

U of all people should know that!!

I really can't work out why ANB hasn't gotten a game yet but Michie for example has. 

 

Still, we are still in this. Fourth beer though.


Chocolate to boiled lollies for Harmes today. He's been very ordinary today. Not alone unfortuanately. They've schooled us in tackling pressure today.

A distinct possibility

Not playing bad but playing right into them. Zone defense is something they are thriving on. They smash us around stoppages so we should try and run them into the ground. Sometimes too unselfish and over using the ball. Their defense is causing hesitation so we play on but have nowhere to go.

Imo unleash the shackles and try to outrun them this quarter. Worth a shot

 Smashing us around the contested ball.

This reminds me a lot of the St Kilda game, not matter what we do the Bulldogs are just too good and have too much class.

They duck and we are too dumb to tackle properly.

The AFL  has clearly instructed the broadcasters to not highlight contentious decisions, as they have refused to replay any of the ducking frees or the throws.

It is pretty obvious in the broadcast.

  • 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.
