[censored] me dead. How many times do we need to kick to that exact same spot, and have it intercepted by THE EXACT SAME PLAYER, before we decide to kick somewhere else. Christ some serious questions need to be asked about our players. 

That idiotic kick from Tyson was the equivalent of last week's Gunston poster which resulted in our goal.

    He’s not alone, but Joel Smith has had a shocker today. Not sure it was a great move bringing him in for a prelim so early in his career. He still hasn’t shown he’s even afl standard, let alone ready to play finals.

    I think oscar has done a good job today

    He has, but someone will pipe up no doubt.

    They have been exposed today. No doubt Lever’s return will help. The last 2 weeks the oppositionhave only had 1 good KPF, we still get exposed with 2 decent tall forwards.

    Omac and Frost are an example of where we lack polish and need to be supporting a primary KPD

    But today shouldn't be their measure as their midfield mates completely torched them

     

    Vanders has been good this second half. Thank god someone has the balls to take on the opposition instead of firing off a panicked handball.

    I actually think Oscar has played well considering the complete lack of midfield pressure and the quality of player he’s been playing on. 

    Also if Petracca doesn’t learn to kick this summer he needs to F off. Sick of his goal kicking.

    If anyone has come to the conclusion that Jordan Lewis is to blame for this then you need some serious psychotropic medication.

    Although it is an expedient thing to have a whipping boy.

    Another possible interpretation?

    He’s having a shocker and he’s not on his own

    I’m off to the Doctor tomorrow morning for some of that Medicine 

    Believe he’s been a liability all year

    Cant have a bloke in the side for excellent finger pointing who won’t chase or tackle except on the odd occasion when he feels like it

    Have they taken Gawn off for a reason? Injured??


    Fritsch would be feeling dirty right now. Not that he was the difference between a win or loss but Joel hasn't exactly set the world on fire. 

    Oscar has been pretty good. Lewis, Jones, Tyson have all had shockers. 

    Oh God, how did Weid miss that? This is like nightmare fuel. 


    New boot supplier please

     

    We have been exposed by our own poor play and NOT by Kennedy and Darling. Eight goals for Meth Coast in the first half resulted from crappy handball turnovers.

    Crappy grand final coming up. Sorry to offend the purists but I'd rather have seen GWS and Gold Coast

    Let’s not let this debacle degrade us or define us

    Many many positives from the season but mentally and physically overwhelmed on the big stage.  It happens. 

    We have come a long way.  Time to move on and look ahead to how and where we can improve. 

    I think we thought we were good enough against the Cats this year, up to Semi's. 

    The Hawks as well, but was a slightly bigger stretch for us... we overcame almost too much, in one sitting, to digest in the one season...

    With the new charges coming into the side this year,,, Spargo, Weidemen, the new Frost, jSmith, Fritta,  we've gone realistically as far as anyone could expect, in 2018__

    Fritsch might feel better that he wasn’t part of this debacle.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
