How does the coaching staff justify Smith in the side? 

Say the same about the staff.

    God I hate the camera shots of that zombie in our coach’s box.

    Spot on.  Some fool on here will blame Joel Smith for the smother goal, however, under no pressure Oliver handballs it on his shoelaces and the defensive forwards of Richmond thrive on that type of error. 

    I've been taking notice of Oliver,  and to a lesser extent Braysaw over the last few weeks.   Oli consistently flicks the ball off and when the ball leaves the area he stops.

    When Oliver has to tackle, often the tackle slips off.  Allowing the opponent away.

    So many of Oliver's physical efforts at opposition are impotent.

     

    He has allowed his game and efforts since 2018 to just jog along, like he does.

    He needs a big attitude change.

    The bright side is that because our Essendon match was postponed this is not season ending.... yet

    Yes it is DJ. Well if finals is our goal.


     

    Simon has his bag packed but he won't be leaving the building.

    Well we've done our good deed for the next team playing the tigs.

    They are all the walking wounded.

    Agree MFM. He's got huge tickets on himself and is just about our laziest player. He could be a much better footballer, but he chooses not to be.

    Actually a lot to like about this game.

    So much better than last week.

    Because I knew we had lost at selection I've been able to enjoy the good parts of the game.

    1-4... we are alive..just

    1-5.... no chance

    So obviously Smith out for omac next week

    Weid and Jones in for Melksham and Vandenberg

    Jones in for Viney

    Brian friggin Taylor and the fake crowd’s over the top efforts to inject some excitement into this rubbish is just plain insulting.

    • 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.
