Watts inability to extend his arms this far into his career when trying to mark is embarrassing on him.

Three times he's done it today.


Outcoached.

They know they've got us with two spares in defence. We always give it up on that last kick into the 50.

Where are all the posters who said this game is a certainty and that we HAD CHANGED????

Ha ha. 

If we are lucky enough to scrape a win all good, but we still have a loooong way to go to be a respected football club.

 

 

I'm watching it in and out as we are having friends over for a BBQ but EVERY forward entry has been a long bomb to garlett in a marking situation and usually out numbered... what's the deal with that? Are our tall forwards not working hard enough. 

 

Will be an interesting 4th quarter see if our "leaders" have learnt from last year. 

If we miss finals by one game it will be this


I'm at the game and can't believe what's going on. Even for an eternal optimist like myself I don't think I've been this frustrated in a while. Where the hell is the team from last week? 

Naive coaching. Goodwin must ring in the changes. Players need to bite the bullet and take game on. Start winning some clearances would help as well.

What has happened to Brayshaw. Does not seem right at all.

Goody needs to makes some changes.

He also needs to get through to them somehow, clearly what he said at half time sent them to sleep

What the hell is going on with our forward structure? Jeffie has been our "target" 3-4 times with him being outnumbered almost every time. 

Pathetic quarter from us then, we need to be and are better than this. Leaders need to stand up. Watts needs to start taking marks out in front of his eyes instead of chesting it. 

We need lift from a lot of our senior players. I'm backing us, but boy we need some of the boys to pull their finger out and stop playing like rockstars.

Is not best 22

Classic Melbourne.

We just play dumb football and then panic under a scintilla of pressure.

Blues want it more, pure and simple.

Will Hogan go for his punch?

Port have kicked 2 points less than us in a quarter in what has taken us 3. Funny what happens when you take the game on.

I hereby dub this the MFC’s “Scars” game. It will define the players with baggage from the past, and will forever show us which supporters have that same baggage.


50/50 contest at this stage, Blues have the momentum. Was there's to lose from halfway through the second. Defensive transition has been far superior to Melbourne's, putting more pressure on our backs than we do theirs. We saw in that quarter that when you're on top in that way and being effective in transition, eventually you'll score. We've dominated possession but it's overuse and inefficient disposal. 

This is simply awful.  Lets see what we do - step up or wilt off?  We have brought Murphy, Cripps etc into the game.

Going to find out if we are serious now.

Reset its your time Goody

 

Typical Melbourne and typical Round 2 Melbourne.

  • 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.
