I’m convinced when our coaching staff say “we need to get better at kicking it inside 50” they really mean we’re going to focus on our contested possesion and keep boming it long inside 50 

 

Brayshaw having a pot from outside 50 isn't going to help things. Can't imagine that was a Goodwin instruction.

And another wild shot from Hibberd. Moronic.

Under the roof at Etihad.  Wow.

Nice goal Melksham.  We're smashing them; get the radar right and we can kick away.

the longer the game goes the slower it will get.... we should be 6 goals up which would allow us to control the pace of the game.

Instead we are chasing our tail

 

Love our NT jumper.

no wind in Darwin..good conditions ...= no excuse but you will keep finding them

Edited by Diamond_Jim

Should be 4 goals up. A worry! 


Statistically this is a complete and utter annihilation. That we can't capitalise is a major incitement on our finals capabilities.

Ok now even Tom McDonald is missing. It's panic stations now people.


Hard shots for goal - easy. Set shots -  hard.

Not making excuses, just pointing out it's a bad example.  If they were playing at another oval in Darwin then you would have a point.

Nothing can incite our finals capabilities at this point.

  • 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.
