Geelong have kicked 2 behinds for the whole game.. 2 behinds!!

 

Going to be interesting last quarter, but if we lose, only our goal-kicking to blame.


Surely we have to start kicking them, and they start missing a few.

3/4 time couldn't have come quicker, we look stuffed

Why are we rucking Watts and a cameo from Smith for the entirety in the centre!!!???? Around the ground i dont mind Watts 50 % but FCS at least give us a contest to neautralise the centre bounce.

WEIDS into the Ruck for the bounce and we win!!!!

They will bring it home, 3 or 4 go through straight and it's over, we are the better team

We only have ourselves to blame... Should be 4 or 5 goals up. Our bad kicking is made so much worse seeing they can't miss


Bit of class for the Cats coming to the fore at the end, but we're still in front and there is no reason why we can't win this.  We've worked our backsides off to this point, but don't lose sight of the fact that we have played some excellent footy (apart from our kicking for goal.)

I'm a sucker, but I'll back the boys in from here!

Miss Max, but as much as anything, really missing Hogan.

Points are killing us. 

We should be smashing them.

quite the opposite 

Not the umpires!!!

Get ready for the Oliver show in the last Q. He's been saving his energy for this

In all honesty, we missed 6-7 very gettable goals.

 

We should be 6 goals up.

Win please win

Outclassed them all day but for kicking


Viney and, especially Tyson down not helping.

Settle everyone, the game isn't lost yet... we're actually in front.  Still plenty of footy to be played and if we go out there and play 30 minutes of hard, tough and manic footy, then we win the game.  Simple.

We're working really hard. Not having Gawn makes it very difficult. Their transition is probably best in the league.  We need to work harder stopping their run from defense going forward. I feel our mids are being badly outrun.

The way they kick goals..it's super shifty but that's why they're so good. Our backline has held up well considering...they just get smashed on the super fast transition. Guys like Hawkins feed on it bevause our defenders are playing over-cautious. We can win this but we need to dig super deep. If we play as we have all game and give our goals we will win. They can't win on the back of 3-4 bursts every 15 minutes. But if they get on top early, it might be tough.

Big test coming up.

 

Watts has been great in the middle. Really has. 

I don't know how we can win this unless we start kicking those very easy goals. 

This is such a frustrating game. We are winning everything except for kicking at goals. Even umpires have evened out since half time.

  • 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.
