We are getting nothing from the umps, our players getting clearly held onto but it gets completely ignored, they get a shot on goal from it.

It might be my bias but I don’t remember the last time Oliver wasn’t held a a stoppage

    Didn't want Lyon for a coach,but would certainly take him now. Someones got to teach these players how to play.

    Hmmmm.... His help hasn't been all that helpful in the past has it?

    Let's see how we respond in the second half. We can claw back 5 goals in the 3rd quarter if we play well. This isn't over yet.

    This kickouts to Gawn, so stupid and one of the reasons we suck. Yes he might mark it. But who wants their Ruckman with the ball 55m out from your defensive goal, it's so predictable the next kick will go down the line. Finally changed it up before the siren and we look dangerous.

    Umps know what they are doing. Clear direction from Head Office.

    Cant blame umps  we are just turnover kings, our half forwards playing from behind.

    This is happening to us every week due to our tap dominance. Around the clearances the other clubs are just clinging on to our midfielders and then breaking into space when we turn it over. Need to change our system around the ball to find more seperation.

    Playing like a confused and over-thinking team who just want to collect a paycheck.

    Ah well, Captain Buzzword will throw some corporate speak around at half time, that will fire them up...

    Some great interaction between Mahoney and Goodwin in the box!

    I will never bemoan the fact we are never on FTA again. tonight is the exact reason why we are not on FTA. Im going to watch house hunters international instead.

    Solid tv right there. Beachfront bargains too but mountain living the highlight for me

    Dare I say it, but chalk up another one for the 'teams Melbourne have played back into form' list.

    Eh, it's not over, we've had bigger, less expected comebacks!

    The big kick up the [censored] lasted three weeks. Bad habits storm back with a vengeance.

    We better not make some half arsed comeback while Port take their foot off the pedal only to lose by a handful of goals and be told by Goodwin it was a good learning experience and we take a lot from that game. Get absolutely [censored].

    Hopefully they are negotiating a contract exit

    In Alaska? As far away from AFL as possible would suit me at the moment.

    Us Melbourne supporters must be the most loyal people on earth to put up with this much disappointment.

    Or the most stupid.

    Season well and truly over, thanks for the memories.

    What memories?

    Seen a few one on one contests and the next three to four players arriving in support have all been from Port. Either the club erred in thinking we could recover and perform off a 4-day turn-around or we are mentally weak as p*** with no work rate and gave up half way through the first quarter. Also doesn't help that our decision making and execution has been disgraceful.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
