How clever we are to give Goodwin another 3 years before he could prove that last year wasn’t a total [censored] fluke. 

Embarrasing.

    That last play in the final seconds of the Qtr sums up what we are up against! "Play on, play on, play on" screams the ump and the Bomber player casually drops the ball to the turf in the tackle!!!! No further whistle for holding the ball will be entered into! I doubt the blokes who do the stats will even bother registering the tackle!!!

    for any other coach this start to the year would be sackable.

    This is [censored] putrid.

    It's smelling very amateurish at the very least Praha.

    We are 3 weeks in and apart from a few isolated pieces of good play we are a complete rabble from the get go.

    The selections are also bewildering and Goody forecasts them by saying earlier in the week (re questions from press about  Max getting targeted and needing some help) something like "We are happy with Max blah blah".

    So many dumb pieces of play.  So many sluggish footballers that have no burst speed and look like they've just played 4 quarters in a wet bog.

    Goody the buck stops with you mate.

    I’m shocked at how bad we are.

    Genuinely cant believe it.

    Me too DW. Our defence is 2013/standard. And we look like we,re second guessing every time we have the ball. We’re heading for another 80/plus thrashing . 


    The free against Jetta to Bulldogs reject was evidence of an ump who really wants to give a present to Bulldog reject!

    How are we going? I can't really tell based on this thread.

    When I said I enjoy a 2008 vintage I was referring to my wine and not my football team.....

    What's the best that's "instructed" ;)

    This just seems like 2007 all over again. Such a disappointment after such a great season. What happened


     

    That was a 50 to us....

    • 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.
