Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

yes. they are winning in the midfield and kicking goals. there is a clear correlation between our dropping off in the middle and opposition team's getting a run on. we give so much space and good teams open that up. good teams also know how to counter that through leadership, which was non existent that quarter. it is the usual suspects spudding it up.

This has the hawthorn game all over it. huge third quarter.

Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

This sticks out to me to

they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting.

And we kicked 1.6. Had we gone 6.1 you would think it was pretty even

Can Goodwin coach under PRESSURE?

Gee wizz I thought you were overripe on the Gaff scenario. Goody can’t kick straight in front of goal for the players, he can’t get them to gut run back when needed, he can’t get them to find targets under zero pressure.

    Pederson has got to the right spots but has spilt the mark, or when he has won the ball takes to long to make a decision. Hibberd is going to be a big upgrade next week. Is hunt still carrying another injury? His pace has was a huge asset when defending with our zone to make a spoil. If the rain lets up i expect us to come back and be a tight finish. Getting and keeping momentum by finishing our work.

    Jones and Garlett, the great disappearing players. Modern day Houdinis, they are.

    Can't wait for the rain to start bucketing down and make it impossible for us to play our preferred game and score enough to win.


    We're really missing Melksham's disposal into our forward 50 and his ability to kick a clutch steadying goal. He better be right for next week regardless of what happens today.

    if we'd laid even one tackle in the first 10 minutrs of round 23 2017 we might have won. ifs and buts. reality is pretty clear though. we're choking.

    Been saying that since 5 minutes in. Classic case of a mature team that's aging, but still has plenty fo knowledge, and knows to beat a contested side you have to beat them at their game.

    Agree. Don’t deserve it. 

    Bollocks.

    If we make it, we deserve it.  No question about that.

    Why does Tim Watson hate us so much?

    I'be had to hold back the urge to vomit because of all the Sydney love numerous time since quarter time.

    Come on Demons kick straight and get the job done

     

    lol usual suspects again, 2 minutes in. we haven't played finals in 11 seasons.

    Swans have now kicked the last 7.........

    How very Melbourne.

    • 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.
