Ok, they need to kick as many goals in the last as they have all match. We need to kick 2 and we win.

 

What a shame the umpires haven't improved their skills during lockdown. Razor Ray = still no idea.

    Any danger in Tom McDonald doing something decent?

    He’s been poor for a while now. Needs to massively improve

    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. 

    100% agree. Been saying for two years he has got to be a bit more selfish and take shots himself, rather than always look to do the team thing and look for the pass (though he does that well)

    Melksham has been terrible.

    Jetta still got it.

    C'mon Dees find that first quarter form. Gawn BOG then Petracca, then Oliver then Langdon then Salem then Hunt

    Nope, Smith has been pretty disappointing in my books

    Smith is being played out of position.

    He needs to be forward which is further reinforced by McDonald’s inability to provide a target.


    I'll be putting ny phone away for 25 mins. Still can't handle the close ones

    Loving Petraccas game. he looks dangerous every time he goes near the ball. With viney, if he gets hold of you you are gone.

    It was meant for HB, but he wasn't expecting and ran forward.  lack of knowing your teammate yet.

    Steady, you are Demonland, joy,  despair, ecstasy, vitriol, hand wringing all in the same minute

    Expecting dispassionate observation?

    How did he miss Harmes getting 50 and then getting blatantly blocked on his way to down to take the kick?

    It's a clear second 50 and certain goal when we had all the momentum.  Ridiculous he let that go.

    Hogan kicked 2 goals in the seconds game today.  Would prefer us to have at least one big target.

    We're better off just kicking it along the ground and hoping for the best at the moment.

    Now lets see about our supposed fitness


    What has happened to TMac?

    Totally bereft of confidence.

    Is it just me or does Jackson have a completely confused look every time he gets the ball?

    • 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.
