Trac you absolute star.  That's the way to grab a game by the scruff of its neck!

FFS Jones.   If you can't see a forward target then why call for the handball receive?  Then kick to nothing?

This is our most senior player, what hope do we have if that's the example?

2 goal turnaround FFS

Also he was running to his non-preferred side which was silly.

 

Take away their momention  

That is EXACTLY what we needed and need Petracca to be. Someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck when its in the balance.

    Everyone must follow his lead now. (never thought I would be saying that about Trac).

    Why the hell do we drop off so much? 

    Its all mental.... need to fix the culture and expectation to what we do for the whole game, not in a burst.

    Is it premature to call Omac in for Smith next week...?

    Disposals been so sloppy

    Our kicking skills remain our biggest issue. Terrible

    We still can’t find a tall forward.

    Tmac still can’t mark the ball, and Jackson is too raw.

    Thank god for Petracca and Oliver

    Nope, Smith has been pretty disappointing in my books

    What happened to looking before kicking? Disappointed by the blind possessions that quarter. 

     

    1st = quarter 2018

    So far everything after that = 2019

    They are killing us in the centre and this should be closer.

    • 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?

      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.
