To me, that's the only thing that I've been disappointed with.  I can handle the skills, fitness etc. at this time of the year.  But our pressure when the ball his the deck hasn't been great, and for the game style we have it needs to be better.  We bomb it in and if it isn't marked then we keep it in there and set up the wall.  Hasn't happened nearly enough today, although you would expect it to improve when the real stuff begins.

I expect it to be good now. I hope it improves when the real stuff begins. 

We are down to 2 on the bench compared to lions with 8 they should run this out fairly easy I would have thought 

 

how can may get a game round 1 on that display,always thought he was well over rated


At least we are having the same issues we had for most of last season - too easy to run it out of our forward 50 resulting in easy scores the other way.  So we know it can be fixed.

Stats - we score from 35% of I50, they score from almost 50%

We don’t have any crumbing forwards, been saying it for ages.

That's what Spargo should be, but he refuses to play that role.

I think he’s ok. For a young kid he is quite composed. I like him.

Yep, not seeing much composure with him this game. Maybe he prefers it on the outside, as he seems to panic when there's congestion.

nothing has changed ,same as 2017 good grief ,these players drink there own bath water

Bath water stuff by Melbourne thank god it's jlt need to lift only Smith and Jetta have played well the rest have been ordinary to woeful.

So many average players today. 

Can't see Nibbler or Stretch getting a game Round 1.

It's a shame Garlett got injured. He's never been consistent, but he's the best small forward we've had this decade and can slot his 40 goals per year. Spargo is a smart footballer, but he just doesn't get involved enough either offensively or defensively. Kent is gone. Hannan is injured until second half of the year. JKH likely injured for a while too. Hopefully Bedford comes on quickly, as it's definitely an area we're lacking in.

Hore has been horrible today. Don't expect to see him play round 1 unless we are struggling with injuries.

Really need Brayshaw to clean up his disposal efficiency. He gets a lot of it, but he needs to be cleaner.

    Players have been reading their own press. Time for Goodwin to put a media ban on some of these prima donas. 

    Our boys look absolutely spent. Not many positives so far.

    May has been ordinary.

    AVB is hard as nails.

    We cant take a grab inside 50. 

    No crumber near the goals.

    Oliver has had a 'mare.

    Backline needs a lot of time together to work seamlessly, but thankfully time is something we have.

    We can still win (which wont mean much), but this team has a long way to go to make it to what it was at the end of last season.

    Bears actually want to win.

    Hipwood kicked 2 goals in a minute. May went to him and he hasn’t touched it since. What more do you want from a FB?

    • 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?

      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.
