Richmond are just taking the [censored] now. We were a bottom four team all of last year and we have potentially gone backward.

We’re handing North Melbourne pick 1 at the end of the year. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

    None if the commentators rate Oliver do they?

    Don’t feed the troll.

    The same troll who said Neitz, Schwarz, Lyon wouldn’t make it in today’s game 

    Brett Ratten has turned the Saints into a much better team over an offseason , Goodwin is in his 4 season and  he has run this team of , on the whole better players than the Saints into rabble of a team , Goodwin must go

    Our decision making is just comically bad. We just have no idea how to compete under pressure. NONE!

    Understatement.  We needed that 

    I'm not angry now.

    Just said watching what Goodwin has done to this team that was a game off a grand final in 2018.

    Our players just look completely shot.

    This is on you Goodwin.

    We are on par with Sydney, Adelaide, Freo, Carlton, North Melbourne and who ever else that is [censored].

    We're like a ball boy, we just keep give the ball back everytime.

    Don’t blame them. He’s a stat accumulator with poor disposal and doesn’t impact games. Going backwards.

    Yay another goal drought broken. Next week the training wheels come off!

    Not sure how Goodwin keeps his job ... we have a healthy list & yet zero improvement over 2019, same poor turnovers, no marking forwards.

    No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

    Play on at all costs game just doesn’t suit an unskilled team. 

    neither does 'chip it around'.

    I've never seen a team this poorly skilled across the board.

    All our entries are to the pockets every time, how can you expect to win a game of football like that.

     

    Making Gawn captain over Viney has destroyed him

    I'll write Goodwin's press conference now:

    They surprised us with their intensity

    They didn't allow us to play our brand

    They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back

    We had trouble connecting with our fwds

    Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure

    Smith is starting to string some games together

    The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well

    Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there 

    We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. 

    We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas

     

    He won't say the last one but he should

    Exact.  This is spot on.

    The Coach will not change. I don’t think he has any idea how too

    He can’t stay in charge for much longer....

    • 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.
