If that match doesn't convince Hogan to re-sign then nothing will!

    Played the entire last quarter as if we had two minutes to go... woefully stupid entry into forward line.

    And the [censored] umpires.

    Yeah was out standing mate, couldn't have played better, hitting targets crisp, lace out 15 metres away.  3 votes Ding

    Your straw man response is about as ridiculous as your first post. No surprise, you're one of those "supporters" who only remembers the mistakes, and who only sees players in terms of either all black or all white.

    I don't care how poor our disposal and decision making was going forward. The free kick count was 10-2 in the final quarter. Blatant [censored] cheating.

    Our defense was good. Ultimately, their defense was better.

    Deplorable umpiring in the last that made it very difficult to build momentum. I never knew how blatant the bias was in Perth because we always get smashed there. It was clear the umps were looking for any reason to award a free.

    No. No. No.

    Have a look at the inside 50 count and then come back to me about how good our defenders were.

    Come on. We robbed ourselves. Our inability to kick straight and make fundamental decisions. It's never the team's fault. The team failed to get the job done on countless occasions.

    Wagner's kicking; Chris Dawes; Hogan's inability to be able to lay a tackle; Bernie Vince's lack of leadership and stupidity; and Kent's laziness. Yuck. The most heartbreaking loss of Roos' tenure.

    Maybe I was a bit quick to vent my spleen, but a 50% distribution of the 50/50s in the last quarter also gets us over the line.

    I am distraught over this result, but this is garbage.

    "ooohh yes we tried so hard and it was in Perth and the umpires were against us and we are so young" ........ FMD!!!!!!!!!!

    So many f'wits on here. If people can't see that we are improving and that that was a great effort, they are [censored]. Bloody shattered to lose, but so many ridiculous supporters here.

    Hard to win when you're playing against the crowd and the umpires,  Ffs every 50/50 in that last quarter went to them! [censored]!

    The back six by itself might not have done a stellar job, but our defensive pressure as a whole was outstanding.  They still scored from less than half of their entries which, when you consider who plays down there, is not a bad effort.  Makes things much easier when our midfield runs themselves into the ground like that to provide the pressure.

    Blaming umpires will not help us kick last quarter goals. We need to learn to do that ourselves.

    RIP tv remote. We had some good times.

    The biggest inside 50 differential that West Coast have ever conceded at home. And we still didn't win.

    A step forward. But it should've been a massive stride.

    That's what I'm highlighting with the inside 50s. Overall the pressure was great for most of the game, but when they did get it inside 50 we were beaten easily.

    Should have been the players rallying call today and show how we can win.

    I know why we didn't beat St. Kilda last week.

    I don't know why we didn't beat Meth Coast today. :(

    Umpire practically blew the ball to their end with his whistle that quarter. Farcical.

    Heads high kids.

    Should've won given the lop-sided stats, but apparently the score was the score and in an alternative reality we might've won. But we shouldn't have won because we lost....

    Yeah, I don't disagree with that mate.  There were times where Oscar was easily done in that one on one situation and we still make some mistakes that hurt.  I like where we are heading, but it can be a tough pill to swallow sometimes.

    This is crap!! anyone who knows anything about footy knows that they way that defence worked today was the reason we were in the game at all. You want to blame individuals? fine look into the forward line that kicked 8 goals from 66 inside 50s. Wet or not that is not good enough. 

    So it's all the forwards fault, nothing to do with the high long bombs into 7 defenders? Yeah you totally get football mate, well played, there's a lot more to defense then just spooling a ball, offence can be created from the backline, accurate kicking to guys in space which opens the ground up for the forward to run to. You cannot have 4 bad kickers in the back line and expect to win games......

    • 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?

      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.
