Sorry but Weid just doesn't like the pressure when kicking with a deficit.  STILL a downhill skier.  When the going gets tough his kicking goes to water.

    No composure in the 50.

    Bennell just cost us two goals. Inexcusable. 

    Maybe his calf is hurting 


    Being outclassed here.

    To be fair if Brisbane don’t win the flag this year they never will. They are being handed it through time and circumstance.

    Half our side can’t go at this level though. We are a middling side.

    We’ve kicked ourselves out of the game, every one of Weids kicks were very gettable. Bennell should’ve nailed his. We kick half of those and it’s a goal in it. 

    Our own worst enemies, hard to watch when that happens.

    Gerrard Healy is one of the most insufferable people to listen to, I could list a dozen examples but it’s just constant.

    Weideman kicks those 3 very gettable goals and it’s game on. Him and Bennell just inexcusable. You can’t be a professional player and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and kick the ball like that.

    Brisbane ruck grabs it in the ruck, takes on a player, tackled, no clean disposal. Play on.

    Jetta has his head ripped off, gets a handball off, "Holding the ball".

    Healey: "And Jetta ducks his head again."

    I'm done.

    Yep, Brisbane ruck Definitely  holding ball not paid!

    Its not the umpires - we are slow of brain and foot...Bennell misses from 15 Cameron slots it from 40. Nuff said....

    Nearly threw the iPad on that non decision. FFS.

    Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

    The frustrating thing about this game is that despite the dreadful umpiring, the easy shots missed and continual errors on our behalf, we should be right there with them. Instead 3 goals down which is a really rough ask against Brisbane, in the wet, at home, when they are playing well

    Just do not understand that 'dangerous tackle' decision????

    We're done

    Weid misses 3, Bennell misses a sitter, Kozzie misses a snap from 20 out directly in front...

    Ffs?‍♂️

    Don't forget the Langdon set shot from 40 out directly Infront 

    We should have won the first quarter by 1-2 goals and that quarter by 2-3 goals. But we're 3 goals down and the game is probably gone (only one side all year has come back from a 3QT deficit and that was pre-COVID).

    We haven't been disgraced and IMO our defensive setup has again stood up well: the two goals we conceded that quarter were from a Jetta brainfade (he's had an absolute shocker IMO) and a throw in a stoppage following Bennell's horrible miss.

    Too many what ifs (Weideman's 0.3, Bennell's miss, Pickett failing to pass to Langdon, Jetta's free against, etc.) to win a game against a top 4 side.

    Love a please explain on the kossie dangerous tackle. 

    Not going to happen, Melbourne have always been gutless in questioning the AFL about shocking umpiring. ?

    jetta is ducking his head at every contest

    Yes he is a G.Healy is right in saying its going to be back for his health if he get hit like that.  Mate fractured his neck doing that playing AFL right in front of m; 9 months of recovery .. 


     

    Somebody will need to teach me the rules of this game because I don’t understand half the free kicks that are, and aren’t, paid.

    some consistency in what is a 15m kick would be nice too.

    Umpires doing their best to kill just about any joy I had left for the game I used to love. AFL you have almost killed Australian Rules Football. Disgraceful.

    • 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.
