Defensive transition. They are waltzing it up the field every time they get it. Also, when Cam Guthrie can go from the centre bounce breaking tackles and kicking goals you know you are battling. Need to fix that if we are any chance to get back into. 

 

Roos half time summary says it all. 

Geelong not playing well but our defence and movement is letting them find all the holes. One team playing other is a rabble. 

Give Goodwin the tape for us not to be embarrassed by the Lions next week. 

This is like watching a bunch of ten year olds. They all run to where the ball is, get in each other's way, kick into each other and then when one of them randomly finds themselves free with the ball they kick it as hard as they can towards the goals.

Meanwhile we gave up two first round picks for a guy who built his reputation by never having an opponent and promptly put him in a situation where he always has an opponent. We left out two quality users in favour of a spare inside ball-winner and the inexplicable Wagner, and the umpires are all wearing blue and white undies.

 

This is crapola - poor pressure and tackling. Lewis and Vince are liabilities.

 


3 players with double digit touches.

Gawn garlett vince taken the day off.

Some leaders.

Levers 1st game a shocker.

We’ll get back in this game, turning point was Wagner’s overzealous late spoil. Prior to that we were getting the bum steer from the umps but no excuses for how we played. Trac and Ollie look good. Get Hogan in the guts.

Was Lewis even on the ground then?

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. 

unsurprising. we haven't played the mcg well since goodwin started. his coaching is now firmly under the microscope.

 

Lewis makes me angry, it’s like he doesn’t care

We were a decent defensive team under Roos but have regressed on that front under Goodwin. Lever can [censored] off back to Adelaide he’s as much use as [censored] on a boar


58 to 21 marks there way lol.

Don’t forget TMac as well

Yeah and imagine if Henderson was playing for the Cats. 

There are no excuses. We should be in this game and we are not. 

No matter how many disappointment this club faces, they don’t seem to learn. Goodwin has a lot of answer for. Poor selection and awful match day coaching. Either we are serious about winning or we are trying to develop NQRs like Wagner and Maynard and Hannan?!


If homeless looking bums like Guthrie can shimmy past you, you know you are cooked.

We look so slow.

Yep, we get lost completely on the MCG now...painful to watch

 


The whole telecast has been all Geelong, I thought it was out home game.  Nothing about Melbourne.  Surely they can find something to promote us.

You're joking?

geelong has been at 80% efficiency going forward the whole game. literally all they had to do was steady defensively and they'd establish the lead.

yeah we'll come back, kick 5 or 6 in a row, but we're still going to lose. This game may well as be round 14 2017. We play exactly the same time of football. 

Geelong is simply too efficienct around the ground. there's no way the cats lose from here.

this is more whether geelong is the type of team that loses from here, rather than if we have what it takes to win.

Geelong does not lose games from here.

  • 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.
