That goal to Ellis was a disgrace of umpiring. It wasn't a push in the back (Ellis diving), it wasn't a high tackle on Rankine either.

Still, main issues are ours, not umpiring. Still too many inside 50s which don't go to our advantage and too much time spent in forward half without scoring.

    We are supremely frustrating to watch, yet we're in front.  I have no idea how that works or why it has happened.

    We will need to kick at least 3-4 goals to win this with the way GC are kicking them from everywhere.

    I’m obviously missing something. How is is that Melksham gets a game?

    I don't think I have watched more goals pulled from a rear end than I have tonight.

    Umps super soft there.

    Agree. Suns have 4 goals from no look snaps 

    umps gifting it

    plus Trac is playing dumb. Never goes back and settles to get the right kick. FFS WILL THE COACH TELL HIM.

    Melksham is taking the [censored] with his lack of forward pressure. 
    Our ball use is just so bad. It’s really hard to watch.

    I'm calling it now - some sort of ridiculous mistake, umpiring decision etc. will decide this game for one side.

    Umpires having too big an influence now. Well bloodywell give it our way.

    Most of the bad decisions have been non-decisions which there is no stat for. 

    I more mean that they will pull one out in the last minute which will result in the winning score and either have us really angry or just a little bit angry.

    the minute weideman stops running under the footy will be the minute he starts taking more marks.

    A few times i felt he has been nudged under it a touch perhaps?

    Melksham's head taken off. 

    Head taken off, then legged in the same contest - nothing.

    Meanwhile Langdon tackles Rankine cleanly and the umpire calls high contacts.

    I thought the push in the back was there, but high contact against Rankine was rubbish.

    Even with the dodgy umpiring we should win

    They'll make sure we don't

    Honest to God, our ability to self-destruct attacking opportunities is like nothing I’ve ever EVER seen, often hilarious and sometimes spectacular. If it weren’t so hair-pullingly frustrating, it would be hilarious. Neutral supporters must have a whale of a time watching us [censored] it up so reliably.

    It's an even money game and to be honest it was always going to be. Massive last quarter. Keep on top in contested ball

    Great game but. I thought we've been quite good.

    Get the hell out of here Stigga, no need for that kind of optimism around these parts.

    • 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.
