Tmac.  Just runs behind....fn useless spud 

 

Umpires are [censored]!

That was throw, garlett called play on after about 3 seconds. It is BS

I seriously hate our defence. Jetta and Michie are playing their role while McDonald anf Garland continue to turn ot over and leak easy goals.

 

How many times are the dogs going to get away with throws!!!!!!! Set up two goals now 

No wonder the crows were pizzed, the doggies are getting a dream run with the umpires.


jetta and mitchie fantastic tmc good grief garland just [censored] off into the sunset

So Goldy gets a free due to a sheppard but max gets done for somethung while being sheppaded.

 

Again.. clearly ducked another free and goal to the umpires.

At quarter time will Paul Roos try something to get us back into this game or will he do nothing because his job is only to "teach us"?


Nothing to do with the umpires. Seriously outplayed so far.

Unreal isn't it

I say it again.. Our defence is [censored] [censored] house


Their back line has been tremendous.  We aren't playing all that badly, they're just using it much better going forward.

Our turnovers going forward are killing us.  Easy to blame the back line, but when you allow them to get over that zone too easily there isn't much we can do.  We just need to fix that up, get some scoreboard pressure going and we'll be right in it.

Terrible free kick for Jones to give away. Lazy.

Defined the quarter. They play the MCG better than we do. Use the space very well.

That was a toweling

Is Mac injured ? Playing a yard behind the game.

Poor post, Chook.  You're better than that.


Is it too late to make a lat change and leave Garland out. And someone give Pedersen a pair of glasses.

I'm calling it early today. We're gawn. 

Way too early. Fix a few things and we'll get back into this.

Backline needs to learn how to spoil. Then we can't get it past the midfield, and goes straight back into Doggies forward line.

 

Our defence is broken. Not the personell so much, but the plan. We zone and push up to the ball carrier and just leave opposition forwards open in their forward 50. 

We are too easy to score against. It is covered against rubbish sides, but the dogs and saints have shown this.

I know we are still learning it but it needs a tweak ASAP.

  • 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.
