The problems with this club run so so deep. We have a name, a logo and a jumper, but we don't actually stand for anything.

Some things you can allow for, forgive and understand, but the lack of fight when things are tough and belief in each other (not just talking about the players btw) are all just emblematic of an organization that exists just to survive, not to succeed.

I believe that can only be changed by leadership club-wide. The closest we've had to a ruthless, wants-to-win leader has been PJ. Goodwin has become a PR artist, Bartlett just wants the "me time", Pert is invisible and our co-captains aren't directional leaders and are so limited as footballers that they struggle to lead by example anyway.

Wasn't expecting a win today of course, but the way we have just wandered through this year says a lot about who we really are.

Every club that Pert goes to is [censored]. He is poison.

Embarrassing stuff. Most embarrassing is the coaching and match ups. 

Sidebottom has been on his own all game but don’t worry we have had Jones on the opposite wing on his own and that’s working a treat. 

The coach doesn’t want to seem to change it for some reason but we have seen OMac moved to the forward line. Awesome move coach.

Our problems existed well before he got there. It's a cop out to blame him for 50 years of failure.

I honestly thought we'd show some pride and have a real crack this week. Once again MFC let me down!

I laughed, and then cried.

Imo Jones should retire at the end of this season. He looks done. 

He has slowed and doesn’t seem to want to tackle. 

I think he has laid one tackle  while Viney has 6  

He should retire but won’t unfortunately.

Indeed..The rot was well seated before Pert arrived...strange though that he added fertilizer to it

Honestly I don’t know how people can have blind faith in Goodwin and then watch this [censored] unfold every week. Injuries are one thing. Being a dumb coach with no understanding of your team or your opponent is another. 

This is as easy a win as any team will have this year.  


Word is that Jake Lever’s favourite AFL player of all time is Jake Lever.

The plus side to his “lowlights vs highlights” reel at the MFC being dramatically skewed in favour of the former, is that his ego might settle  down a bit

Fake news.

He oversaw Collingwood's 2010 flag.

We'll lose this game, but we'll always have Q1, when we almost kind of looked like an ok club with some promise.

Gawn zero marks and 4 touches at 3/4 time. 

The going gets tough and Clarry is the only one that stands up

This garbage has nothing to do with injuries or pre season.

Now even less skill and even less effort.

Those who hate Oscar, at least he can kick a footy, unlike 18 of our players out there. May, Salem Frost and Oscar  only ones who can pass the footy.

Melksham hopeless today.

BTW all coaches must be blind to leave Sidebottom untagged.

Where the he'll is Petracca!? Gone MIA.

look truth be said...Collingwood really needed this training run to get them a bit more sorted before september.  They were always going to be able to rely on us to give it to them.

Dire performance.

Fritsch being our most dangerous forward again only highlights Goodwin’s ridiculous decision to play him out of position all year.

Any chance he could tell Jones to man Sidebottom up instead of trying stupid experimental tactics dropping back of the square into defence.

It took Roos 3 years to get the club to stop accepting losing as its default state, and now in 20 games we are right back there again.

There’s no fight, no passion, no mongrel. Just continuing to a structure that gets exploited the same way every week. It’s the same game every round for us.

He’s played his quarter. What did you expect? Another player who hasn’t improved and never will because he isn’t fit.

Even the commentators are saying he is being left alone and can’t understand why. 

King is fascinated why he has not been tagged today. 

Well Mr King most of the footy public are wondering the same thing except our coach. 

We could still have the lowest score of the round....need to kick at least 4 points in the last quarter

Out of all the players today, you choose him to criticize?

Most of these bludgers have put the cue in the rack. Weak as pizz.

  • 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.

  • 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.
