GAME DAY

Paul Roos must be sad to see what a poor coach his choice in Goodwin has turned out to be.

Neal-Bullen is a right footed clone of Tom Bugg, putrid skills

But he can run lots and lots.

most uninspiring half of footy ive ever seen from a team coming off a 11 goal loss.


Still really dumb going inside 50. Hogan the latest culprit.

What we are offering up is nothing short of disgusting. At the moment we wouldn't be capable of beating anyone. How we beat the Lions and Roos is beyond me.

I was undecided on Goodwin as a coach a couple of weeks ago, but wow, the past 10 days have made it really clear.

 

Imagine if we had a quality and composed ball user who could be that link from HB to HF. You know, someone like WATTS.

I don’t think we’ve been that bad; they’re just that much better than us

Dafuq?


Dumb footy,  flawed planned. 

Need big changes at half time. 

The only club in the AFL that doesnt want to kick goals.   The only club in the AFL that falls asleep for 45 minutes + per game.

This team is totally disjointed, and I assume its fallout from the camp saga.  

Well that wasn’t good. Richmond hemmed our play in to one wing and the last kick nearly always went to a difficult contest. They are a very well drilled side and we are not coping.

Need things to change to get back in this. Need to somehow find a way to move the ball through the middle would be a good start.


Someone smarter than me please explain what is wrong with maintaining some form of forward structure? Dumb football.  The challenge is we have had a dip and are well in it but I am waiting for our bad quarter. 

Not sure how Harmes and ANB have both gone so backwards. Harmes looks like a complete hack this season and ANB is looking embarrassingly scared along with this mate Stretch 

Effort decent.

Skills fucken horrendous.

Game plan... non existent unless its over handball, hanball to peoples feet and kick down the line.

 

How much longer for ANB and Harmes? 

Woeful 

We desperately need Viney back

Stretch is rubbish and not even at VFL level after the length of experience in the system.

I would agree with that. I'd cut a lot of these guys at seasons end (or at least let them know they aren't in our plans). I will say, Stretch  isn't taking us anywhere, James Harmes is terrible (especially considering he doesn't know his limits), Brayshaw is too slow for AFL - and can only play as a mid, and isn't even up to that, Tyson is wasteful, ineffective, and rarely seen defensively. I could go on and on, but I think those are the main guys who have stood out as poor to me (at least tonight). Really disheartened tonight. Haven't rated our year at all, even when we won it was poor football. We are regressing big time IMO. Its just really disappointing.


We just had a quarter with about 5 inside 50s vs. 20 odd. That's not coaching...just a lack of ability to out compete your opponent...

Lucky not to be 7 or 8 goals down.

I'm ignoring this thread as I can't watch the game, I'm only going by stats.

Could someone who is sound of mind give me, and others in the same boat, a brief run down of the half.  It seems like we're having a dip but running into the same problems.

We are getting destroyed at the contest. We have no structure at all over the entire ground, we are scared to kick inside and to switch,

[censored] disgrace.

Fourth choice wasn’t he, behind Dew, Kirk, and Ling?

  • 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.
