Jonesey has his own ad!!

 

Watching in Phuket. Getting some funny looks from the locals with my constant shouting at the tv. Need more composure inside 50. Should be winning easily.

regardless of the umpiring we have a lot of players not doing anywhere near enough especially in the forward line. These guys need to put their bodies in and need to chase and tackle. i wouldnt mind if they tried to kick a few goals as well. We are keeping port in this game, with the sheer weight of inside 50's we should be miles a head at the moment we are damn lucky to be in the lead.

if these guys want to play finals they need to go out and prove it and not just leave it to Viney and others

 

Why do you think we have so many inside 50s?

 

Maybe forward pressure?

Is it just me or is Hogan really out of touch and being just a passenger tonight. Might need to go back down to the VFL and ragdoll a few seconds players to get some confidence back.

Move him up the ground ?

His only mark was on the wing.   Certainly out of touch.

C’mon Jesse ..... a bag in the third and another bag, shared with Tom, in the fourth.

Pleeeease 

Big half for Goodwin imo. He has a team cracking in, and if he can figure out a way to goal, we win.

Was poor last week and poor again this week. If he lifts and gets on his bike this second half we’ll win.

There's a wild Riccuito on my screen. Someone get the tranquilizer gun.

Have you seen the delivery to him?

Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

Bloody Hell, Dermott making sense.....What sort of parallel universe is this?

Good footage of Hogan on Fox Footy not flying for his marks. It was his main skill in his debut year.


Dont understand why we always go wide when going inside 50.

Very scrappy game thus far, need to execute much better to win this. Freezing at the ground, stewy dewy on the ground.

If the game continues on like it has we just need to lower our eyes and we win this game. 

Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok. Port flooding our 50. We have dominated most of that half for not a lot of return. Get off Brayshaws back, he's been good. best game from trac for a half a doz games. Keep this intensity up and we will win. Just need to keep doing the team thing, it will click. Much better effort than QB

 

Port's forward 50 open, open, open. Ours is congested and full of long bombs. 

If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 


Cannot see us winning like this. Desperation will increase along with a commensurate increase in turnovers and port goald

once they get a turnover and clearance they ran deep into fwd line in that q.

Fritsch? The Smiths? Come on boys lift.

 

No surprise the parochial crowd absolutely influences umpiring decisions. 

The Power fans are totally one eyed, and that eye suffers myopia. 

We have controlled the ball but been very poor with decision making and creating space. 

Every port inside 50 threatens to be a goal as their forward line is so open. Ours is the opposite. 

Spite at end of quarter was more our frustration. 

This game should be ours but could go either way. Many players down but T Mac keeping us ahead with scoreboard pressure. 

Conditions are absolutely perfect for footy. Chilly but no wind and really no dew or moisture. 

8 points on the line here. 

Delivery inside 50 is reminiscent of games 1-5 this season. Bombing to packs blindly. 

Lower the eyes. Melksham does this so well. Everyone else does not.

  • 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 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.
