NO FORWARDLINE 

no backline lever is the biggest spud ever would have alister nichalson rather than him

 

Time for a green tin.

I count ONE contested mark inside out forward 50 so far today. 

It's time to play a big body ( May?) at CHF and try and clunk some marks to at least keep the ball in there for more than 20 seconds or so.  Tommo to Lynch pls.

Oliver’s disposal today has been abysmal.

It has been for 2 years, most people just turn a blind eye to him here.

    Levers running is so lazy. Got himself caught in no mans land then and allowed dusty to kick under no pressure 

    Another goal less quarter. How many times !!

    We're unwatchable. I'd say call the season off but we'd be the same in 9 months time anyway.

     

    Can someone remind me the reasoning behind our forward line.  It isn't forward pressure  ball goes in straight out score

    He is by far and wide the worst recruit we've had

    5 free to 4 in our favour. Although sometimes it’s the frees not paid. 

    The Petracca one that handed them a goal was a shocker. The umpire even admitted no prior opportunity! Pathetic!

    I’ll say what I said earlier this week, Pickett isn’t ready

    You say this straight after his amazing 3 defensive efforts at half forward?  Not many will be agreeing with you on this one ?

    Stopped watching. Will collect on bet on Richmond (Sportsbet) ... more than 6 points up at half time. 

    this is 100% structural. we do the same [censored] thing every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. we then get absolutely smoked on the transition against decent teams. This is a football lesson.

    Goodwin is out of his element coaching at AFL level. This is 90s-era football being coached in a completely different football era.

    He's a [censored] Muppet.

    Needs to be dropped.

    Disposal ha ha ha. Not under 10’s standard. 
    Oliver not a disposal to us. 
    VDB can’t run or take possession.

    • 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?

    • 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.
