Apparently we got the quick answer while I was taking a wiz. Maybe I should spend the rest of the day in the loo.

 
 

North and the Hawks are the most protected vic clubs. No wonder we have 2 frees to our name!

And we are playing like crap


Whatever the opposite of a scapegoat is, Cam Pedersen may be that for me right now; but I'm going to keep harping on the fact that our forward structure has seriously suffered in his absence this week.

Stuffing around with it, are we the worst wet weather side in the AFL?

 

Soul-crushing goal to Carlton inside the last minute. Such a disappointing day.

Ffs ... doesn't anyone look where theyre kicking today !!!

Fair call he should have been in.

Should be first one picked each week

This.


How the f did we beat Hawthorn ?

Given what was on the line, this is worse than the Essendon debacle.

Carlton have lost their last nine games.

Needless to say I think we were entitled to expect a better outcome than what has been delivered.

Anyway the last week has been fun.

Now back to the usual life of a Melbourne supporter.

Most disappoint effort I can remember. Playing a bottom 4 team who haven't won for nearly 3 months and this is what we serve up. Yes the umpires have been horrendous, but we are playing dumb football with zero intensity. Soul crushing.


Our attitude is disgusting. Pea hearted. 

We had everything to play for today and apart from 2 or 3 players we are getting nothing from our players. 

Not only do we not deserve to make finals we don't deserve to be considered a team on the rise until this mentally pissweak attitude and soft underbelly is rid of. 

Shameful performance.

Rock paper scissors, if rocks were capable of underestimating their opponents.

Embarrassing.

 

 

 

Calling leaders... leadership... maybe some ideas from the coaches box...

No...

 

Ok, carry on as we have for the first three quarters.

Respect.
That is our issue.
We think we are something we are not.
Hawthorn can go into a match confident. As can Geelong or Sydney. But you will never find them with an arrogant, laissez faire attitude.
Two times this year this has happened. You would think the Essendon loss would have been the only wake up call we would have needed. Our boys need a pin in their heads before they can think about finals.

  • 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.
