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

Nonsense. He was great in the two finals that we won.

    LOL Melbourne player nearly takes a mark and some idiot teammate crashes into him and he drops the mark, resulting in an easy West Coast goal. Sums up our day. The worst team performance of the year. 

    Once again, I'm glad we served this up today and not next week. The idea of us playing this badly against the Pies is vomit-worthy.

    Viney leads the game with 11 clearances, next best is 5 for either team. God this kid has heart.

    make him sole skipper next year, throw in an injury free year along with Lever and Hogan, we can get back here next year

    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. 

     

    Maybe that's a reflection of the level of confidence within the coaching group, and also the selectors... That they thought we need to change structure as many of us did as well...  suggests they were concerned about the opposition,  to bring in a raw kid not long back from a long-term injury.

     

    I think in the back of my mind, I might have thought we had done enough in one year... = satisfied with 2018 ???

    Not necessarily. Look at Western Dogs and Adelaide.

    After Jones performance today, he has no right to complain if he's stripped of the captaincy. He went missing again, when it mattered most.

    A truly poor football player. Delist.

    Tyson has been atrocious today. I haven't been on his back all year like some other players but I fully understand why he frustrates some supporters. Almost every decision he's made today has resulted in a West Coast advantage.

    The aftermath of today will be crucial. The Club has to be tough on this. This preformance cannot be repeated. 

    We know what happens when it does

    Just think back a year, we got beaten by Collingwood last round of the year to miss finals, with West Coast benifiting.

    This year we went two games better.  I hope Collingwood win next week and then next year we go two games further.

    • 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?

      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.
