Lever has been a massive disappointment. That is not an $800k a year player. It’s barely a $200k year player. Very poor defensively and done [censored] all offensively. 

Goodwin has a lot to answer for with his selection. Wagner is awful, Maynard tagging? What a joke! 

If we don’t capitalize on this Geelong team without Danger without Henderson and now without Taylor, we are not serious about finals. Very disappointing quarter. Let’s hope we bounce back because this is a big gap against a good side!

 

All the repeat posts.

Remember we have our own outs who for us match Geelongs. 

 

WHY THE [censored] AM I WATCHING ABLETT HIGHLIGHTS AT A MELBOURNE HOME GAME? [censored] off!


No need to be harsh on the players after 2 qtrs.

Goodwin hasn't shown he has learned anything from last season. Our set up is wrong and it doesn't change and leads to the opposition exploiting it over and over again. 

Roos got more out of a worse team, this isn't doing Goodwin any good.

All our eggs are in the basket of the contest. As soon as we turn it over, we get killed. This isn't sustainable.

Exactly. They have 2 ahead of the ball and thats how they are scoring.

 

Goodwin made zero changes to try and stop it.

True but they are a man down and Danger is better than Viney and Tyson combined!


Wagner (bad 50), Hannan, Lever, Hellloooooo?????

who

Shown Ablett highlights at half time on the big screen.

Do you think they’d show Melb highlights at Geelong?

No way.

Wow. They were prepared for our game plan and are playing us like a fiddle.

They have a spare defender knowing we are going to rush our long kicks fwd.

Pick it off. Counter attack. Goal.

Hogan cant get near it with Blicavs playing close.

Hannan. 1 touch. 

Why we kick long and don’t cover their loose player is beyond me.

Don’t forget TMac as well

Will be an interesting 2nd half.

Sadly we're getting beaten up aroind the ball and allowing.cats to.clear top easily.

Without viney i cant aee us getting back on top

Any defencive structure Roosy put into this team Goodwin has thrown in the bin. 

74 points at half time in round 1 lol. 

I thought the one armed tackle attempts would drop with Watts gone. But he’s left a legacy. 

 

Time me to get out the old AFLX VHS tapes and reminisce about the good old days. 

Do we have a backline?

1 As I strongly said We should have played TYSON FROST AND GUS 

HARMES WAGNER AND MAYNARD NOT UP TO IT

LEVER is overrated and overpaid 

Goodwin is shizzzzen coach 

A lot of these players drink there own bathwater and wont do the hard years !!

The cancelled training camp says it all 

Thank God I didn't buy a membership this year

who

Viney, TMac are equal to our side as Dangerfield is to them. 

Our players look cooked. Fitness not up to AFL standard

 

We have no pace and spread. 

They have 55 more uncontested possessions and they use them to leave us flat footed and score.  

They have scored 20 times from 24 entries and us 13 from 30. 

Who are our running players.

Better show something in the last half or the media frenzy over the camp will be huge. Seemed to turn with lewis’ brain fade. Drop him I say. 

would you blame them? we are being owned and bullied by a better team. we couldn't even complete a camp.

  • 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.
