We're down two players, this could be a game changer. Harris scores from a set shot.

    Hore shanks a dolly on goal, we've missed some great chances.

    We've had two balls going in on goal only for ridiculous bounces to deny us.

    Cunningham seems to have lost all ability. Shaping as another St.Kilda game as another chance wasted on the siren.

    Cunningham has been woeful. So many perfect one on one chances.

    And Newman should have given the ball off or kept running. Two goal turnaround

    Bloody hell - the second I tune in: another knee injury, Bloos kick 2 goals to hit the front and we miss a soda.

    Gee some easy misses that quarter, Newman, Cunningham and Hore and O’Dea’s bounced 180 degrees...it will be a miracle if we get up.

  • Quote

    Carlton were very good that quarter and probably could have had more chances turned into goals, but equally we had some great chance that we absolutely shanked. Frustrating, I can see us losing this by under a kick and looking back on those chances feeling we should have won.

    One quarter to go, down two players could be tough.

    This is that game we always have at least once a year. More of it, more scoring shots, and we get done.

    Blues get the all important first goal.

    Smashed on the outside, wasteful once inside 50. O'Dea is a liability once they get it on the outside.

    Game over i'd say.

    Disappointing result, we were so clearly the better team at half time. Really should've been in front by 3 more goals but failed to make use of our dominance, our players were exhausted by the end being down two rotations and in the end when we had our chances we butchered them. 

    Puts us back to the pack and outside the finals spot, lots of work to be done.

    That may be season over. Carlton one game ahead of us now, and we have Freo and Suns to come. They have Freo and WC.

    Looks like we'll be dudded by the conference system again

    Again our old nemesis our forward line conversion and skill 

    For the umpteenth time has enough chances but lack skill in finishing 

    Please Melb recruit footballers not other players from other codes that MAY be good sports but don't have the footballers instincts.

    Desperately need a skilled forward who gets 6 touches and 3 goals 

    Cunningham lucky to be on team as no other big forward Give her a run around Th r ground yo get into the game please 

    Mivk Stinnear must surely be coaching fir his job in the last 2 games as he has had 4 years of non success to make finals 

    Injuries have not hrlped ageing today but same old story of lost chances.

    Mickey at least 3 times per year every year fir 4 years in a row!! We are too dependent upon forwards marking as skill to kick goals on run us almost impossible for us !

    Really looked slow and unfit. The injury toll is really hurting us.

    Maybe that had something to do with 2  injured players off the ground in the last half  And about 4 ACL injuries this season !

  • Quote

    A game of two halves (as they all are, but you know what I mean).  We ran out of players, and (consequently) legs in the second half. Four, and possibly five ACLs  in a season is just [censored] luck, no matter how you spell it !

    Can't see how the conference system has done us. Injuries and lack of finishing would be more to the point.. We still had our chances to kick goals and stay in front but lack of composure and more likely skills let us down plus a certain tallish lady in forward line is having a shocker.

    Cunningham wasn't the only one to have a shocker O'Dea was terrible too.

    • 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.
