Three things stand out.

Gawn dominating the hitouts, swannies dominating clearances. How? Why?

They play one on one so no dee is free. We play anywhere so they are all free when needed. How? Why?

In any contest when the ball is there to be won in a pack, they win the ball, clear to an open player and then deliver downfield. We kick/handball blindly out of the pack to no one in particular. I think it is called "hail mary"  How? why?

Failure of coaching/teaching. If I can see it, why not the coaches?

    19 actually - and both way ahead of a lot of other players who you could have named. But didn't.

    Yea my mistake but I still think they shouldnt be there. So you think these guys should stay before others.

    Well done.

    I reckon Goodwin would be a good local footy coach, “just be strong around the footy boys!” 

    Thats his answer to everything 

    Ha, not even half the coach that Reggie Hoskins is Deez.

    And people shot down my thread about needing a rebuild. Love for those people to tell us now where our improvement is going to come from.

    You can't deny it. I was also attacked by some for saying it. Pert effectively admitted we need to rebuild by saying we lack the depth of finals teams. You don't build depth overnight. How many on the list outside the top 22 get a game at another finals team?

    IF anyone is at the game, and still has any enthusiasm at all, who is playing back up ruck to Max?  (Serious question so don’t  say Spargo)

    I wasn’t one of them but my thoughts are that some tough calls need to be made.

    We can’t carry Jones next year. 

    Hopefully we get pick 2 and use it, not to be on traded. 

    Trade Petracca (I know I’ve said this before, apologies....)and package him up with a future pick and make a bold play for some class off half back to replace Hibberd.

    Draft in not one but two small indigenous fwds. We need some energy and creativity  up fwd.

    Not all the answers but a start.

     

     

     

    The test is more interesting BA.  I've switched over.  We are unwatchable now and in any league with a bigger population/following we would be relegated.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
