Awesome Football were dishing up to the supporters and sponsors, they must be over the moon.

We showed for periods of the game we were really competitive.

???????????? 

Give yourself a pat on the back Simon.

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

 

And almost every other player.

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

How can a select few of us (too many deniers on here) see it at every stoppage? It is so frustrating when soft calls are paid to the opposition. 
 

 

Selection not looking great at the moment.

We drop Jetta for Sparrow, send Harmes into the backline where he has been a proven failure, and then put Sparrow into the middle who is nowhere near it, whilst leaving Brayshaw on a wing where he is no good.

Surely if we were going to free up centre bounce rotations for Sparrow, we could have made room for Brayshaw instead?

And then we bring TMac in for Bennell and TMac is somewhere stuck between trying to be a half-forward, a marking forward and a midfielder, and is none of them.

    The skills in that last passage of play just before pt goalled were dog vomit. Especially from Oliver.

    Like the use of "dog vomit" - no better way of describing it.


    How does brayshaw continue to get games??? Yet Tomlinson was brought in for outside run & can’t get a game

    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.

    Mate, we won’t kick 5 goals in the next 3 weeks

    This Club just feeds us BS

    Pure and Simple 

    9 years to the day since 186 and we get served up that bile

    Goodwin and Jones

    Just go...

    Reluctantly I have to agree. I've resisted accepting the calls for Goodies head. But if he doesn't make changes and can't get the charges up in the 2nd half, I'll need to rethink my support.

    Jones is in the limelight of his career (a great career) but his time is nigh.

    Clarkson is probably also gettable. Any of those 2 would be a hell of a lot better than what we have got. 

    Clarkson will come only for the bucks or if his ego makes him think he’s god and can work miracles.

    How bad might we play when where mathematically out of finals contention. This is putrid when the season is on the line.

    Why is Brayshaw not playing on ball ahead of Sparrow?

    It's about time this paper team got a dose of reality!

    Jones is finished.

    T.McDonald can only play down back or trade him.

    Salem needs to be traded.

    Brayshaw must be traded.

    Don't know what to do with Oliver? Just tell him to handball it.

    Weideman must be traded.

    Roos has [censored] us up the [censored]!

    Picked the coach and Traded pick 2 for Salem and Tyson.

    Lyon going off his nut on the half time Fox Footy show.

    Good on him.

    What did he say? Im on channel 7

    Harmes, Fritsch, Salem, Brayshaw, Oliver, Tmac.

    You couldn't find a bunch off overrated peahearts

    Add to that the poise and kicking skills that Bennell's omission robs us of.

    Is there a forward apart from Fritsch that's got more than 2 possessions?

     

    Weideman 1 (no marks), Hannan 1 (1 mark), Jackson 3 (no marks), Pickett 4, Melksham 4 (1 mark), TMac 4 (3 marks), Fritsch 6 (2 marks).

    18 inside 50s for 1 mark inside 50.

    How’s the server holding up? Good time for a stress test if you need to.

    will be more fun than the second half

    Well, that was a debacle. I’ve put a lot of our problems down to Goodwin previously, but this is down to effort, intensity and skill execution. Not even close to resembling our improved performance the last few weeks.

    Anyone else feeling quietly confident about tonight's game?  I know that's not a normal feeling for Melbourne supporters as we probably have a closer relation to the feeling of dread, but I think we can knock these guys off.  

    You and I are really good judges If the dee Wise ???

    Dees never stop continuing to disappoint. 

    Pathetic. There is no urgency tonight pure and simple. Skills are shocking. Pressure is shocking. Just pathetic all round

    • 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.
