We just can't buy a goal, and every time we do Carlton go straight back down the other end and score one.

Lazy, leaderless, unaccountable footy. Not one player standing up.

I was fuming when I saw Pederson had been dropped, our entire forward structure has fallen apart today and Weideman simply wasn't the right man to come in for him.

Agreed .... Playing a baby to win a crucial game of footy. The youth at all costs policy should be renamed "Youth at a massive cost"

Well done FD

Lost at the selection table and above the shoulders

Why do we always lose these games? After three years of it and with Roos at the helm, you'd think they would have sorted it out by now.

Both.  I bought 3 memberships this year.

Back in your hole.

My hole....settle down.

How do you tolerate this?

And don't mention the win against Hawthorn and Port.

Possibly the worst coaching performance from Roos when you consider the team selection, match ups and structure.

His 'let them learn and adapt' ethos needs intervention at times. Goodwin needs to rip into these players and take control.

Nothing else to say.

 

Embarrassing footy.

 

BT on one radio station, Hardie on another, really need foxtel.

Don't mention this loss or the one to Essendon then.

I've had enough of Hogan. 

He can take his attitude and his VFL level kicking and go away. 

Yeah I agree. I have privately thought that for a while now.

Patheric performance, woeful effort. As soon as we get pumped up in the media, we drink our own bath water, fans included. Finals are far from a certainty next year, as we are still weak in the head.

I raised this point two weeks ago. Take away finals it's apparently too much to expect players to turn up for work 22 days a year.

Six behinds in a row says it all.

You guys (and gals) are all nuts. Hogan has quite literally been our only forward today.

The coaches bought into the arrogance.

Hard to split this and the Essendon game for worst losses of the year. I'm gutted right now. It was going to be such an old Melbourne thing to come out today and lose to bloody Carlton. We had to prove people wrong and show we've moved past this kind of heartbreaking, peahearted [censored].

But no, we serve up this predictably terrible performance and throw finals in the bin.


Forget Hurley and Hibbered, we need class in the midfield, we really have none, just blue collar hard workers (not today though).

Exactly Chook.  19 touches and 14 marks.  His kicking for goal over the off season needs some serious work, but to suggest he has a bad attitude with stats like that is ludicrous.

No doubting his set shots have increasingly become an issue as this year has gone on though,

Petracca as well for that matter. Both could be anything, but have a fixable flaw in their games.

The three guys we brought in today werent even seen.... 

 

I don't know if this or the boomers game was more pathetic....

  • 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.
