Really disappointed with Weidman's efforts.

If Watts' was lambasted over his poor work ethic, was hasn't Weidemen?

And goal kicking has been restored.

This is now how last week shpuld have been if we kicked straighter

 

Freo are not fit enough. Melbourne esque of 2014

Early days I suppose, but it won't take long until it starts if he continues the way he is.

That free against deep forward was rubbish - clearly HTH and no high tackle 


That was the most predictable after the siren goal ever

Kent is playing really well

I disagree.  He is front running.  Great when everyone else is moving it on and he gets to sit in front but not making the play himself, nor running both ways. When he has got it outside 50 he has taken too long to move it in - has done this 3-4 times and cost us scoring opportunities while players got back. 

Weed aside Kent is one of the first out when Hogan, Lewis and Hibberd are back. 

Weidermann is looking not fit enough I'm afraid and has no nous about where to run for advantage. A liability currently.

Half time

 

Melb 9.7.61

Vis.  6.4.40

Weiderman is Lucas Cook esque today


Our small forwards have really stood up. Great to see.

Gees Clayton Oliver is a gun. I know we all know it but bloody hell. He's played less than 20 games.

Cmon Dees. Get the energy up and keep working.

Suspect he will make way for Hogan

I'm a little worried about Viney - doesn't appear  to have got into any groove this season.

Have to admit Fyfe is some player - he's carrying them currently.

Weids could at least run up field and lay a bloudy tackle.

He has a really bad corky by the looks of it. Hope the trainers can sort it out for him during the break.


Weeds has 2 disposals and 7 AF points.   I've stood up for him on here but his performance today has been unacceptable. May as well be playing with one less player. His inability to contest in the air has been shocking. 

Captaincy has ruined Jack Viney.

He needs to have some time off.

Maybe try Tennis coaching like his old man.

He needs to kick every goal and take every chance to make up for his lack of defensive running for mine. Not saying he can't get there but at the moment i don't think he is doing enough.

8 kicks, 4 marks and a goal for second game of the year

Great second quarter the last goal to freo was just luck, I expect us to now go to town on them

  • 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.
