Night of passion with my boyfriend or watching this game in the hopes we could make an effort out of it. Gee I’m an idiot

Ā 

Petracca just did not go hard enough. That sums him up. Christian you are so frustrating.Ā 

Ugh next week is so so important. Massive, the loser will rightly so cop more heat.Ā 

Thank god I was out and only got home to watch the final term.Ā

Ho Hum.
S'pose we'll just have to redeem ourselvesĀ next week instead.


Ā 


Come on Dees. Get your s*** in a pile.

Playing like Freo did the year year after they first played finals. Not so much a Premiership hangover as a played finals one.

Prepared to cut KK and May some slack because it's their first game for us, but Tracc seriously needs a spell at CaseyĀ 

Pretty clear now with decent sampls size that were just not where we thought we were. ListĀ is youngĀ and seems to have far more gaps than we realised - WC started the misery and all clubs inc Bris have followed suit and showed us up for pace and with getting behind our back 6 consistently.Ā 

Much work to do to even salvage a top 8 spot let alone any grand delusions at this stage. Could be corrected by later in year but personally I cant see how. Cats went andĀ fixed their holes we’ve just viewed WC loss as a bad game and tried to doĀ same thing again without getting any fwd pressure in and a backman who we then play with two of the back men we wanted gone.. woeful and shame but it’s a LONG way off let’s not kid - we’re 8-13 at best I’d say.Ā 

Ā 

Hoped LW was aberration but gutĀ feelĀ was that it wasn’t - esp when blues nearly Knocked port off.. oh dear - we need 5-6 feisty pressure players at least over next year or two, or a miracle change in style.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Too slow. Too unskilled.

We’re just not that good a side. We can play better than this but who would sayĀ our ceiling is as high as a team likeĀ Collingwood or WCE. We’re a mile off.

I also can’t helpĀ noticingĀ how much smaller we look than the oppo.Ā We look like a bunchĀ of shrimps comparedĀ to most sides.

There will be those that giggle and deride this thread as over -reactive. They'll say we need to review in cold light of tomorrow.

They're denialist. This is crud.

Actually...we aspire to crud. This is is devestational.

Even rubbish is useful if understood.

I ...just don't understand this club.

Nicely put.Ā 

For me this in many ways is more unacceptable than anything in the previous 8 years.

Now what I just saw is beyond a joke.

You recall we won two finals last year right?

I do and then when we came up against an actual contender we got flogged and we haven’t won a game since.Ā 

The team we beat in a final just flogged us like a dead horse.Ā 

We won nothing in 2018 and 2019 looks like it will be much the same.Ā 

Live ladder has us just above Norf forĀ wooden spoon with % of 47.4

Absolutely squibbed it. He has been awful. Not improving...a footballer going nowhere! I want him to be good but it ain’t happening

Thats was a commitment act.Ā Ā  And he is not totally committed, and so is not fully focused, because of it.

He will never get any better as long as he does not fully commit to the team and to the game.Ā Ā  Tracca thinks far too much about tracca.

Ā 

Mind you, he has a few mates doing similar this season.

Fritta is disappointing so far.Ā  I think Fritta needs a spell at Casey.Ā  He is well off his own standards.

I would persevere with Hunt, but push him forward.

I wouldĀ  drop Petracca now with Fritta, so they both can sort themir heads out with the VFL.

Its time for Keilty, and Stretch again.

Keep Lockhart in.

Sparra back to Casey.

Ā 

I want to see a quicker running Mfc team next week, against the Bummers.


Um ...Hawkins had enough time to give away a goal - just stood in the goal square, waited for the second gamer to arrive, and give him the ball for a goal.

Cones at training do better than we are doing.

Oliver - star, never stop trying

Braywhaw, Hibberd, Melksham and a few others

Ā 

126 to 40 - and we have had nearly DOUBLE the inside 50s...

Shocking

The Soft Underbelly is still in charge...

This Club will go nowhere without more ruthless decisionsĀ 

this is just garbage

Check out round 4 last year.

We've had 72 to 48 inside 50s, cats have been super efficient, we will be fine.

  • 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.Ā  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.
