Garlett should retire at half time.  Brayshaw and Petracca suck.  Tom McDonald thinks hes  a superstar when hes not even close to one.

Goodwin has a lot to answer for.  Starting with selection. Another tall in Preuss to help Gawn and stretch their defense for example. Instead of another slow unskilled player.

This is nothing but a training run for GWS, no pressure just a leisurely stroll at the MCG.

[censored] Deesgrace. Play the rest of the kids, coz this year is done.

Put Lever in cotton wool and send anyone that needs surgery in now for the start of pre season.

Spargo 3 handball for the game.

Masterstroke selection there Goody..

Not switched on from the first bounce & yet again No name kids wearing weird Orange jumpers are pushing us around and bullying us like babies.  

Nothing short of a line in the sand response in the 3rd quarter will do. Screw the fallout & consequences our existence is depending on this response.

Chances of going goalless in the second half?

even with injuries, nothing can excuse performances like this, and yet Goodwin and co continually do so.

Head rots from the top and it is quickly infecting our playing group.

This is just looking for a scapegoat. Sure, it's frustrating, but the problem is that half the team has hardly touched it, and when they have they've butchered it, not something something Goodwin or something something selection.

Playing Preuss would not have made any worse that’s for sure 

they probably will not review this game either. Know what we are doing wrong 

every thing!

Forget the talk about our poor forward line and backline. Our heralded midfield is getting smashed. The worst display since the PF.

Junk time hasn’t even commenced yet. Can’t believe my eyes that quarter, so many jogging around just pointing to GWS players.

Yes, because we have so many players running round at Casey just crying out for selection.

This is about as low as it gets. All the [censored] we’ve gone through, then get that [censored] tease glimmer of hope last year, to all hope completely gone again. That’s why MFCSS is real, it’s always too good to be true. 

The hardest part about watching this rabble is how easy the opposition make it look. Even at our best we did things the hard way, it’s not sustainable. GWS having a training drill out there and we have no say in it. 

Having a bunch of ordinary VFL players out there doesn’t help, but no system, no inspiration and next to no skill is just the most deflating [censored] I’ve seen in a long time. 

We should be way past this sort of stuff. Monumental failure. 

Start again before it becomes another decade of darkness.

No Pruess is absolutely criminal.

Our entry into the forward line is D grade Amateur footy level.

Not a forward defensive bone in our line set up.

I just removed Fritsch from my favourite players that’s how angry I am. 

Cop that Bayley.

Of course. We are horrible in every aspect. But we have one clear advantage today which is the ruck. Gawn is dominating and he has to spend so much time down back. Imagine if Preuss could do some ducking and Gawn could be a forward target for all those useless high bombs?

I was really disappointed pre season that other commitments would mean I would get to very few games this season but I bought my membership in hope and for support.  

Sadly the club / team has dishonoured that support and I doubt it will come again soon

Absolutely pathetic “effort” on the field and pathetic selections set it all up.  

Where are the standards set by Roos and Jackson???

Said at quarter time I couldn’t imagine us playing any worse. My bad.

Well let’s reverse the situation and take 10 of their best 22 out and put our 10  back in, would there be a difference? 

Aside from that our disposal is the worst in the AFL.

Also none of our mids have had 10  possies in half a game. 

Any wonder that this injury ravaged, non skilled team is being beaten by one of the most talented teams in the AFL.

That is as positive as I can get.

Absolutely getting smashed with the ground balls.

We are way off in intensity...

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded.
