We’re lucky Hawthorn are shizenhouzen. Need Jeffy to slot a couple, he’s been looking almost there.

    Our effort vs reward has to be the worst in the league. Too many unskilled footballers lacking smarts.

    ...and then we run out of juice.

     

    It's not the skills per se, they have the skills. It's the between-the-ears-skills, the lack of confidence, the second guessing, the don't-[censored]-this-upping, the pressure (perceived or otherwise) ... every player is only too aware of what's not working, and the pressure and expectation that that brings is almost impossible to ignore.

    The big mindf*ck.

    Trac’s set shots are laughably bad for an afl footballer. He’s been good otherwise and has an impact whenever he is near the ball. Time to start getting him up into the midfield instead and play to his strength.

    Our set shots in general have been poor all year. We don’t seem to have anyone who can reliably kick straight. TMac did last year, but he doesn’t touch the ball anymore...

    Garlett has been dangerous. He’s generated more opportunities today than all our other forwards combined have all season!

    I don’t want to labor it but Trac “looking dangerous” and actually doing something of value over an entire game or season are two completely different things.

    He doesn’t work hard enough/isn’t fit enough/not good enough to play midfield or he would be by this time in his career.

    If you're posting from the ground then it's the 4G networks fault. 

    You sure it’s not that “server issue” you mentioned during the week?

    I don’t like to bag players too much but I’m really not sure what ANB contributes. Hope he has a big second half but he is so fumbly. Just runs around doing nothing 

    Terribly out of form like so many.  Cupboard bare at Casey

    when we knock it out in a tackle its holding the man. When they knock it out on us its dropping the ball

    Yep from watching on TV they can dispose of it how they want whilst being tackled, they also throw it a hell of a lot. 


    Yahoo!  Forward line had outnumbers and win ground ball ....can't recall that in a while

    Jeffy's too scared to have a shot off his own boot now after that earlier effort........not a bad thing.


    2nd time...first Joe the Goose in like what seems like forever!  T-mac first mark in a while also

    T Mac’s skills are just...not good.

    is he playing with injections to a foot ?

     

    I just realised I paused the game earlier and was 3 minutes behind. I was wondering why comments weren’t making much sense.

    Jefffyyyyy!

    • 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?

    • 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.
