The skills of our backline are pathetic

 

Joel smith injured and coming off looks like a shoulder. 

 

Exactly what we thought would happen is. Oscar and Weideman not ready


Saints looking very, very good at the minute.  We are extremely fumbly, I reckon Weideman has dropped a mark and fumbled the ball twice.  

 

Tom McDonald is terrible

Sam Weideman is not even close to being AFL ready

Smith off injured

We are screwed


[censored] Riewoldt. Albino freak.

Well this isn't sounding good for us or Smith. 

Oscar has been terrible so far. 


The McDonald brothers jointly are becoming so costly in this game.

Lol you just gotta love the McDonald brothers.

 

& you know what i mean when i say love. Fml.

This is the most unwatchable backline we've ever assembled. 

They are absolutely smashing us around the contest at the minute.

It's the same old story for us, but we've got a big 5 minutes ahead to stem the flow.


Nice to see our boys walking around with hands on hips in the background

They are setting up so well behind the ball, but we don't help ourselves by kicking it blindly forward.  We have 3 minutes left to stem the tide.  We've been poor, but there is a long way to go.

Saints just got a soft free kick, too.  It was there, but it was soft.

disappointing start. need to get more our of our midfield and need to tackle these guys into the ground

 

 

Riewoldt once again takes us apart.

It happens every. single. time

How do you beat Melbourne...play a loose man in defense.

  • 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.
