We made and won finals without him. He isn’t the reason we can’t win a game. 

Agree, we would not suddenly kick it well into the f50 cos Hogan was there, we would butcher it to him instead of another player.

    Are Hibbard and Lewis both now out injured..? 

    Lets go draft some more hard no skill players.

    Lewis finished, enough of the one handed tackles and turnovers. 

    Garlett shat himself 3 times going for a mark. Magnificent.

    Petracca is the worst kick for goal in AFL history and is just a player who destroys the efforts of his team mates.

    Keilty, sorry Drunk’n, but he is having a shocker. Not sure why Preuss wasn’t played. Preuss had 49 hit outs and 2 goals for Casey today. 

    World record entries in F50 for least return. 

    They  are the most poorly skilled side in the AFL and plenty of us have said it for a few years now and to me nothing has been done about it.

    Even if we fluke a win today what I said stands. 

    It is actually embarrassing watching us play. How can you as an AFL player not be able to kick, mark and handball.  It defies logic.

    Jeff has run under the ball and squibbed 2 easy AFL marks already. Unforgivable to do it twice in a half. Bruise free stuff from Jeff. Won't play next week

    Put Keilty on the bench and leave him there, I don’t know how he was able to get a second game but he is honestly the single worst footballer to wear our jumper I have ever seen. 

    Lewis is pretty horrible defensively. 

    Our forwards keep running under the football 

    Grow up, decrepit old man

    I 'm in Edinburgh now. It's only 9.00 am but I'm going to have a 'wee Doc and Doris ' and a good lie down. Can't say I'm missing the footy. It sounds pretty bad by all accounts.

    Watching this rubbish is robbing me of the will to live. 

    McQueen out.

    Really, though? We are dominating everywhere but the score, and actually defending well. 

    Agree - I actually think we're playing much better, and starting to see the Melbourne of last year.

    Up until we go I50 that is.

    Tom Mac really down on form/confidence isn't helping - and it isn't helping the players up the field either, because they're not automatically looking for him, thus hesitation, thus the kind of all-over-the-place entries we're seeing.

    Yet another goalless quarter. 

    Are there stats re dominating inside 50 without scoring goals? We must surely be near some sort of record.

    Hibbo absolutely smashed his collar bone. He's def out.

    Lewis got stood on Ibelieve? Didint look too bad.

    Pathetic skill levels from the team tonight. An embarrassment.

    Are you sure you are not an alias for Titus?

    Forward entry dirtier than Ricky Nixon's black book.

    Just Filthy!!!

    No matter what, Goodwin refuses to play man on man. We must always leave a player loose in our back half, which makes our forwardline constantly outnumbered and playing 2 on 1.

    When will we learn that without proper numbers up forward we can’t influence the scoreboard, no matter how many times we bomb it in there? 

    We cannot hit a target sure, but TMac is always playing on two defenders. And Garlett gets the ball kicked over his head and there are two loose GC players. We have no chance because we are conceding a forward. 

    First point. That's why we aren't getting smashed at the moment. 

    Second Point. It's the bombing in that's the problem.

    Third Point. If we have a man back and TMac is has two players playing on him..... we have a one on one if we don't do dumb crap. Garlett can't have two players loose if TMac has two defenders playing on him.

    3 goals in a half of football against Gold Coast.

    3 [censored] goals

    Can't wait to count how many "connections" references our middle manager coach will make at his concession speech. The one thing we can count on is that it will outnumber the goals we kick.

    We are playing well all over the ground but as soon as we see that 50 meter line we become idiots.

    This season is over. Let’s finish low and draft skilled players. Yes I said skilled players. Salem would be so happy to have some friends.

    We are an absolute disgrace.


    The balance (inside and out) from last week has gone.  Viney, so far, has not added to the team and is flat footed around the contest.

    Again we are back to too many pure coal face players at the contest with no ability to break away and release to the likes of Stretch (is he there?),  Salem and Fritshkreig (out best ball users).

    Stewy Dew's worried about our "polish"?

    ?

     

    Poor decision making...eg Stretch defending kicks the ball back into the centre of our defensive 50 FFS.

    Yep and IDAK stood for

    Absolute last chance for Turbo Mc and Pedestrian Jordan Lewis today . Tide is turning!

    Also Jack Viney would not want to reinjure that shoulder if NQR!

    Big Day for quite a few today!

    • 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?

      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.
