    I feel sick and so should every Melbourne supporter. THAT was our competition to play a Grand Final this year. Let that sink in.

    [censored].

    We weren't good enough to make the finals, what makes you think a GF was on the cards.

    Richmond will play in the Grand Final. They only need to beat Port (pretenders, garbage team who have only beaten Sydney and West Coast in the top 8), West Coast (garbage team, unworthy of finals, flat track bullies) or GWS (haven't won at the MCG this year).

    We threw a near-monty Grand Final appearance in the bin, folks. Let that sink in.

    We wouldn't be playing GWS at the MCG ?

    By looking at the run to finals we could have had. We would've beaten Port. We might have stumbled against GWS.

    But Port at AO, GWS at Spotless then Richmond at the MCG is a dream run in a finals series, make no mistake (especially with GWS back in rubbish form).

    Was great to see the pus.sies look like absolute garbage in the last quarter. 

    Such a shame there were no cut aways to Chris Scott eating his own shoe live

    Well Richmond will make the gf. Probably a Adelaide Richmond GF. Gee if its a Sydney Richmond gf that would be hard to stomach. 

    My god I hope the boys watched this tonight and saw the relentless tackling pressure Richmond put on geelong tonight. If that was us playing Richmond tonight in that 1st quarter we would have been smashed with that pressure. We would have panicked and over handballed. 

    But yes it is hard to watch. Tomorrow night will be worse because it should have been us playing port. Oh well. Thats what happens.

    No, Richmond are, which is how Richmond are dead certs to make the Grand Final now.

    Unless the Dons provide a big upset, it will be Geelong vs Sydney next week.  If that happens, my money is on Sydney.   Cats out in straight sets. 

    They're too reliant on 2 players where as teams win finals.

    To make the finals we had to beat Collingwood ... if we'd done that we would have almost certainly been up against Sydney. 

    You're looking at the last thing that happened (Crows possibly winning against the Eagles) more than what we actually had to do.

    Anyway, there's no good any of us crying over spilled milk ... what's done is done.

    We need to get a lot better so that these line-ball outcomes are therefore taken out of the equation.

    Going for the Tiggers this year! Only VIC team in it I think. 

    Adelaide v Richmond GF would be about right!

  • Quote

    Well two finals down two average matches, all we heard last year was that the bye helped the standard of footy. I think it was just random luck, I hope the Swans win the premiership and we never see that bloody annoying buy before finals again.

    If we had won, we would have been playing Sydney at the SCG. 

    We also just beat Brisbane and lost to Collingwood.

    If the Eagles lost Essendon would've had a better percentage in the end but you're right, this is just pointless theoreticals now. Point is, none of these outcomes happened and we're mere observers now, for the 11th year running.

    This is also correct, I'm still just fuming. I don't think I've ever felt more hurt over a bloody game of football in my life. It proved the culmination of our whole season.

    It's just maddening thinking of all the leaked goals, all the tight losses, all the 1 percenters that may have been the difference between 9th and playing in a semi/prelim.

    It's a shame our club was ran by monkeys when we decided not to draft dusty

    Yep, and it hurts like hell. We taken Trengove and Scully ahead of Martin. Trengove is coming to the end of his time at the club, and Scully is no longer around (and was a [censored]). Dusty is coming into his prime and looks an absolute brute. He is one hell of a player, and damn it hurts. But, and as annoying as it is - that is draft and trading. There were a couple teams that will kick themselves just as hard for overlooking Oliver (taking Weitering and Schache ahead of him), and St Kilda must be pretty disappointed in McCartin. Win some, lose some, but still hurts tonight.

    So unlucky bud! I feel for you...

    I had Burgoyne to kick 3+ goals against the Swans a few weeks ago at 81-1. He kicked 2.1. Missed a snap by a whisker and wasnt paid a free kick in the goal square which I thought was there.

    Since then the bookie has massively cut the odds to all these type of bets. I would be lucky to get 10-1 on this thype of bet again. 

    226-1 would have been a nice get.

    • 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.
