    FFS. We have 1, read 1, Injury. 

     Goodwin can’t survive this year as Coach. 

    I've never heard a club hide behind injuries as much as we did last season. What's their excuse going to be in 2020?

    Putrid doesn’t feel like a negative enough word to describe this performance. Any suggestions?

    Is Goodwin still at the ground? Has he been in the bog taking a [censored] for the last 90 minutes? What is going on?! Do something you pelican!

    What do you expect him to do?

    He's got Fritsch on a wing, Viney in the forward line, TMac higher up the ground.

    What do you want?

    It's systemic change from him we need, not gameday flipping of magnets.

    Wow, Adelaide have a game to look forward to.

    Has a winless team ever started favourite?

    I actually have a feeling a winless GWS team years ago were favourites against us in the Neeld years

    I actually think Sparrow is going OK. Lever is our best, no point pointing finger at forward line that last passage was the only clean ball inside 50 tonight

    Goodwin will hang his hat on that play as being the Melbourne Way. 

     You can’t just do that once. Do it for 4 quarters Goodwin or go home with the Port players. 

     We need a coach that knows what he’s doing and can put a rocket up the players.

    Nine do going into round 1.

    Overrated pea hearts.

    Another year wasted.

    He was great before his ACL with us... But geese he is too slow to play on a small, to weak to play on the big boys. If he isn't intercept marking he is a liability 

    he wasn't even that good. He just guarded grass at adelaide

    This is one of those teams that constantly seems to be a thorn in our side. It’s time to make a statement and to bloody their noses (metaphorically of course).

    Ha ha.!

    Lockhart, Lever and Petracca the only ones to break even.

    Gawn, Viney, McDonald are not leaders' bootlaces.

    Ha ha this is like our best side! 

    Same [censored]. Running under the ball. Missed short handballs poor turnovers lazy mids no system 4 around the ball

    Crap umpiring

    Pack your bags Goodwin [censored] hopeless

    Our percentage actually meant we were still a chance, even if we lost tonight. So much for that!

    I’ve got low standards, but this is one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen.

    Tell me why I should keep believing in us. Please. Surely we as supporters need to stick together through thick and thin. But we all need to know that we are not alone - that we hold true to something that we have stuck to, thick and thin for decades. is it a delusional idea to be believe in a Melbourne Premiership in our lifetimes or is it best to give up and play tiddly winks instead. I certainly vote for the former. The game's not over but I hear the fat lady singing...what is the name of that song?

    You're a young fella aren't you?

    We've had a couple of false dawns in almost 6 decades. Don't waste your time. The Hawks will have a full rebuild and start winning multiple flags again before our blokes realise we have a coach who is taking us backwards.

    Haven't looked to do it all night.

    Complete lack of work rate the entire game.

    The most hollow I've felt since the West Coast game. Thank goodness I've got Demonland for my mental health.

    Fraudulent is a good word for this. Our club. Our coach. Our supposed culture.

    I recall that game in 2013.

    We lost to a 0-17 GWS in Sydney and not one person was surprised by the result.

    This is exactly the issue, we have to win contested ball to win the game. Every other club has different methods. Embarrassing.

    • 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.
