Multiple Hawks get away with dropping or throwing the ball and we got pinged for a dubious to high in our fwd line. Almost goal.

I think I say it every week how the hell an AFL player can still try to take a chest mark is beyond me, extend your arms, there is a rule where a player can’t chop your arms (never applied now a days) and you can’t be spoiled!!

Umpires see what they want or are instructed to see. Less integrity than wrestling.

Terrible skill level.

No leadership.

What has happened to Tom McDonald and Fritsch?! Neither are even VFL standard at present. Staggering drop in form.

I'm sure TMc is injured.  Fritsch has always been fringe imo.

Hawthorn are ordinary... we aren't even at the level.  So flat, no ability to maintain possession beyond aboit 2 to 3 links.  Too many getting sucked to the contest at stoppages....STILL!!!???  Are we seriously  that dumb we cant play to a structure?? Cover the inside of their outlets at least and force them down the line!

Skills?  Clarry perpetually bombing.

Jeffy / T-mac....Pffft!

Can't believe we've gone this far backwards in 7 games of footy.

    Jordan Lewis needs to never play again. Has hand balled to old team mates

    kicked to wrong team and will not even pretend to chase. Just watches and points.

     

    FGS please put him out to pasture

    We need to start manning up on these hawks. Far to easy with them being able to get the ball down the ground. 

    Just saw bartlett and perty killing themselves laughing about something.  Glad they are enjoying themselves

    Hawks will pull away to a 10 goal lead then put the cue in the rack to stay fresh and uninjured. We will still madly run around like ants whose nest has been disturbed, and to the same effect.

    I've never seen a team run and work so hard yet achieve so little. It is astonishing. 

    I’m not watching - just listening but they (commentators) said we are playing a zone? Explains a lot of so

    Well, cracked record here: confidence (lack thereof)

    2 goals against us directly from players handballing to above the target's head. Professional athletes and they cant do the basics. Skills are appalling.

    Oh come on, they're [censored] good at holding weights underwater

    Embarrassingly poor

    No skills

    Too many commit to contests and 

    Selfish

     


    50 to 80 UCP. They have learnt nothing in almost 10 weeks of football.

    At least Garlett learnt from his mistake 

     

    Our 18th place decision making really compliments our 18th place skills. 

    I haven't missed a Dees game in Melbourne for about 10 years, and I would normally feel deep shame for not going today.

    But today I purely see it as an investment in my mental health. ?

    Finally some execution beyond 2 or 3 links....best play for weeks!


    We had 6 players alone in the F50 and still almost [censored] up that goal.

    Go big Declan, first mark leads to a goal

    Who did Lewis believe he was kicking it to then?   Run it out and use the new rules to pur advantage and gain another 10 meters FFS!

    Old man forgot the new rule, perhaps he's forgotten which team he plays for as well.

    So let’s see if this club has any ATTITUDE at all. 

    Goodwin your job is on the line, your players do not work hard enough every week. You can give me all the fancy [censored] answers about “processes in place” but that is all new age BS

    It all comes down to Attitude. 

    There is little pride in wearing the MFC Jumper, it has been shat on for too long, so now it smells bad. 

     

    Lift your game Goodwin, Coach the dam team to win. 

    You're sounding more and more like DV8

    OMG ...Jeffy

    • 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.
