    Take responsible and kick the [censored] goal weideman!

    Turnover ... goal to the filth !

    The skill level is embarrassing, give the MMD game to a decent team, we don’t deserve it

     

    We were one game away from a Grand Final last year.

    From that to this in less than a year.

     


    McDonald can [censored] off with hos brother too. I am done with him too

    Watson just referred to the skills (or absence thereof) of Melbourne to be the worst he's seen this season.

    He said that after Hannan just dropped a chest mark.

    It's pitiful.

     

    I hate handballs to nowhere.


    I'm beginning to think that Goodwin isn't the right coach going forward. And by going forward I mean right now.

    Hannan still rusty. 

    Hannan and Lever both got into the team,  without any displayed form,  or condition.   Both not ready for AFL.

    224 DISPOSALS FOR  3 GOALS

    Wow McDonald doesn't look like getting near it. Stands under the ball, can't take a contested mark and always seems to be in no man's land.

    Can we please draft someone who can snap more than 20 metres. 

    How dare you criticise Lord spargo ! 

    This list is ok. I worry about the coaching. I know that's an ongoing theme, and the coaches don't tell Garlett to pass it off from 30m out (etc etc) we just have NO SYSTEM going forward. Don't talk to me about connection. This is about structures and habits.

    Skills are absolutely killing us. Intent is good - we wrestled control of the ball in that quarter but gee wizz. Hannan dropping it was just one example but was pretty typical of how we’re going.

    Both Lever and May are only 1% off and looking better than I was expecting. Our defence as a whole looks reasonably well coordinated, they were just hammered. Reckon they’re why we’re closer than we might be.

    I haven’t given up yet. I think we could steady and claw the lead back. Fingers crossed.

    Totally devoid of skill. 

    Cant kick or handball. 

    Otherwise ok.

     

    Melbourne needlessly rushing, loopy handballs over the top rather than kicks down the line to leading players.  Selling teammates into trouble, handballs to stationary players.

    F50 entries have been woeful once again, but I haven’t seen anything resembling forward structure and leading patterns.  

    Harmes from the boundary seems to be the only player with any kind of composure in traffic.  Thank god for Marty Hore.

    McDonald looks completely out of sorts, and has benefitted Pies more than his own team so far.

    • 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.
