Rubbish skills, rubbish decision making, as slow as my granny. 10 goal loss coming up

 

 

Do something Goody.....

No spread, no two way running. Stupid forward entries. What else is new?

 

Regardless of whether JKH is decent or not, we have one more player that's not used to playing with the rest of the team. Him flying against Salem in the back line was a classic example.

It's not just Viney out that's the problem, but that these outs upset balance and stability.

Could see us losing this, but there are just too many players out there who are fringe players. This is NOT a well-oiled machine.


After enduring a whole night of "yep, whatever pay the Port guy the mark" a couple of weeks ago, that non-mark to Tom McDonald is infuriating.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

We will lose if we keep this up.

Where is the intensity?

The Dogs are bound to be up and about with run early.  We will need to win the center clearances heavily.  At the moment we are getting killed here.

If they get a run on we need a plan B to counter our horrible zone defense.  Man on man pls

Edited by Rusty Nails

We’re pretty putrid at the moment.

 

love the way our forwrades play in the back half

Predetermined result today by UMPIRES and AFL. Hawthorn and Geelong both on the same points and both beaten. Thanks AFL!!!!!!!

This. 1000 times this. 

Don't know if it's effort or structure or talent, but they killed us there last time.

I am done with the dees if they lose this. We have all to play for and this is the type of [censored] they serve up. I am at a point where we should offer Petracca for trade. Lewis is useless. We have no pace skill or heart. I have wasted thousands of dollars on memberships tickets merchandise etc all for nothing. 

 

We are [censored], plain and simple. 

Can we stop turning the [censored] ball over. FFS. 

Frost's a good one. Crunches bodies at pace, and is desperate in defence.

I feel like Hogan hasn't taken a mark in weeks. Good contest though.

DO SOMETHING MELBOURNE


JKH. JONES. GARLETT. 

Lazy, non contributors 

Hannan is a slow thinker.

Still no mark to Hogan, but he's making a great contest this quarter.

Umpiring not great but no excuse. We play terribly. Need to use hogan in the middle. 

A team with our 'skill' execution does not deserve to play finals


Finally Garlett is in the middle.

Johansson is giving Jones an absolute batch.

Nate Jones...... WTF

 

Jordan Lewis always composed.

  • 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.
