3rd qtr 

✅ Melksham goal

✅ some pressure on the footy 

- chances missed inside 50 ... need marking forward 

- letting tiger smalls run

? umps crucifying us with inconsistency 

? tigers just bully us and no response 

 

 

Not that it would make a difference, but the umpiring today has been ducking terrible. Haven’t noticed it be bad for a few weeks, but today has been poor. Frees incorrectly paid and not paid repeatedly. I wish I could repeatedly [censored] up at my job and have no repercussions!

 

The misery continues people & can see another list of players in another decade achieving zero.. our plan is flawed & only one person to blame 

Astounds me how far this team has fallen. We’ve played one good qtr for 2020.

    To put it simply we fold under pressure. It was evident in 2018. Only difference is we got found out in 2019 and now the joke is on us. Up the ante and we fold like a house of cards.. turnovers are a symptom of this. 

    Melbourne players are just plain dumb. I just think we don't have any football brains out there. These players need a smart coach at least and we are missing that too.

    You can practice and practice and practice, but it matters little on game day, not sure which bit you comedians don't get, it is the onfield leadership,  which is sadly lacking today

    why is lockhart matched up with riewoldt?!??

    what is going on??

    That's called "Gifting the opposition their most preferred match up" WW.

    It is also yet another signal (if we needed any more) that Goody hasn't got a clue.

    Not much to redeem this.  Risks are obvious and not coming off.  They simply don’t have the skills or intellect to deliver.

    I can't agree.  He is getting to contests that Oscar would never get near.  We need to see what he can become. 

    Reiwoldt only has 1 goal and isn't hurting us with his 9 posessions.

    We already know what Oscar is and he has reached his ceiling.

    This isn't the backline's fault.

    Oscar can defend one on one. For all his flaws he can defend. Joel Smith is running to contests because he’s losing his opponent in the pace of the game.

    We're 17th on the ladder

     

    Great Job Simon

    You should resign in shame 


    Basically it boils down to this.

    We have no forward line.

    Statistics  even show it is the worst in the league for the past two seasons.

    Question. [censored] is Goodwin’s win loss record since he was gifted a 3 year extension to his coaching contract ?

    Fellow Demonlanders, if i win the 80 million this thursday i will pay the clubs debt and pay Goodwin out.

    Dont stress.

    Guess GWS was happy for Tomlinson to go. Horrible footballer.

    TMac, May, Hibberd, AvB at least tried that quarter.

    [censored] off our coach is [censored] can't come up with a decent game style, can't develop talent, can't develop skills, can't develop leadership. EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH GOODWIN!

    Ads between the quarters showing deer running around on their own in headlights..

     

    not much different 

    BTW. Viney has been truly horrible in this game. Has he had an effective disposal?

    Some of these things happening can be put down to bad luck but we are creating A LOT of our own bad luck.

    We are handing North pick one. 
    Watch that kid win 3 Brownlows and be the greatest player of all time.

    I agree with most. But Smith has been caught in no man's land so many times. While the game plan is a nightmare for our defenders but Smith has been diabolical today in my opinion.

    I don't think Lever and Smith should play in the same team and Lever is so much better.

    Omac would free Lever up to play his preferred role. I dont think Omac is great but he's better than Smith.

    • 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.
