I went back to quote, saw this and thought against it. It's easier to forgive those calls when we play well. I'm guilty of them when we play rubbish as well. ?

It is glacial, again our hands selling other players into trouble. If Pies weren't so bad  it may be a different story GD.

 

Trelore is killing us...

GLACIAL!!!! 

 

We need to take some of the sting out of the game while they have the momentum.

Think back mate. 2006 I think it was. Mark Thompson was coaching geelong and they called his head many times. He stuck to his game plan, even with the father sons, the game plan and his aims never changed.

Alistair Clarkson taught his players in 2005 a game style. He had Franklin and roughead. He played a style and had a plan in mind, he tinkered woth it slightly while those guys were young, but he stuck to it.

My point stands, we are getting taught a style that will stand up in finals, that utilises our playing groups strengths and helps shy our weaknesses, that hopefully will long term put us in a position like Hawthorn and geelong- winning a lot more games than we lose

Keep this Hogan guy forever..


Winning the quarter. Up by 30 points.

Dare I say it, Oscar McDonald has been good.

Defence as a whole has been excellent.

Mistakes, yes, but excellent on the whole.

Why the hell wasn't that a 50 to Watts. Opponent just ignored the mark and so did the umpire....


Just stopped on my way through Thailand.

Always read the Game day thread before checking the scores. Helps me deal with the pain perhaps but this is looking good.

Go Dees

Kent burnt a few there.

sure did. Have  love / hate thing going on with him. He certainly gets the chances but sprays so many.

Dont say it too loud. There is an OMac hate group on here.

Thanks Channel Seven for reminding me that the Goo Goo Dolls were a thing.

  • 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.
