We need to change to black and white jumper to get a free. 

 

2 things (under 12 sort of stuff);

 

- make it look like you’re trying to get rid

of the ball in a tackle, even if you’re not

- when you take a mark or free kick, get back far enough so you can kick the ball easily over the man on the mark’s head.

let 10 HtB ho that would've been called 10 days ago

Then ping Harmes

Total Bu.... S4It

Absolutely.

Jackson looking good for a 3rd gamer


Holding the ball only applies to one side it seems.

Weid had been good apart from goal kicking

Absolutely.  He's beaten Andrews a few times already.  Just needs to kick the goals, but very happy with his output so far.

Jetta looks concussed, hope it's not that and it's minor.

We started poorly but settled and our defence of the ground improved. They've only scored from a turnover and a free, we're otherwise doing well to limit their scoring.

Up the other end we're doing a lot right but Weid's two misses are frustrating. He should have 2 goals and we should be 1-2 goals up.

Weid, Jackson, Hannan and Melksham all looking dangerous. Jones looks a step off the pace, hope he picks that up soon.

Embarrassing wasn't it?

How many decades have they got this wrong. It’s embarrassing and frankly it’s a little bit racist. 


What’s wrong with Jetta?

Went off down the race.

He is attacks it and can follow up if he doesn't clunk it.

Jones looks like a deep depth VFL player.

Brisbane is very flash in the pan. Put a body on them and the link is broken. Extremely beatable.

Also there was a blatant HTB in our forward pocket where Neale/Rayner (can't recall who) was spun in a tackle and threw it out.

When those aren't paid, and then the Harmes one is paid, it gets frustrating.


Our forwards are working hard, just need to capitalise.

Mids doing a good jobs. Oliver's kicking is nearly costing us.

Cmon boys! We got this.

Would love to get a goal in a manner other than off-the-ground-in-the-middle-of-the-goalsquare style, but I'll take being level right now.

Weideman and Oscar McDonald giving us a great deal of structure. Weid needs to figure out how to kick a ball straight when it's dewey.

Jackson will be some player. I thought he would show nothing this year, but the fact that he's doing everything he's doing with so few games and so far off his ideal body shape gives me a lot of faith he'll be an amazing, one-of-a-kind type player over the journey. A true "every position" player.

That white goalpost looks racist to me

I was yelling at my screen and scared my daughter with that one in our pocket.  Then Harmes gets pinged and it's all over.

Both teams had chances and both would feel like they could’ve got better reward for opportunities. 

Weid is taking grabs which is a plus but bugger me that miss was god awful. I hope there’s someone giving him pointers on what he’s doing wrong. Can’t be coughing up opportunities like that. 

Clayton’s kicking is becoming a liability. Twice he butchered it to give them an inside 50. 


Anticipating an "honourable loss" here. They have too many players who make you pay when the mistakes come - and we still make plenty of mistakes.

Still, can't question endeavour, and setting up well.

 

Also. Trac's vision is the best I have ever seen from a Melbourne player, bar none.

  • 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.
