Great goal to the yellow guys,

some ...yellow/red/black

I can only distinguish Red& baby blue and the other guys with a bit of yellow.

We're in trouble!

Unless... the weapon is released to play his natural game

Mids keep it going forward

Free space/block/ruck it to ground/ create space and allow Harvey do his stuff

I'm most annoyed about the lack of 50 when we finally got a holding the ball free kick and Talia just drops the ball to the ground.

That was 50 every time. It’s pure cheating.

    I thought we had been stiff from the umpires to date....

    This game is setting a whole new bench mark, this is just [censored].

    Playing for the spoon here boys. Deplorable how bad this team is. Salem so undisciplined and just plain crap.


    Remember how we talk about how we're this 'competitive beast' team with too many inside mids?

    We're getting done in clearances by the worst clearance team in the league.

    Would it hurt for one of our players to stay on the outside of the contest instead of all running for the ball like it’s under 10’s? Also, [censored] the umpires.

    How ANB gets a game I’ll never know. 

    Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?


    Is it still a thing where the captain can approach the umpires and stay what TF?

    Bennell a waste of space, finished as a footballer lucky no draft picks involved.


    In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Dear Glen Bartlett,

    If you want to do something to show this club is serious ask the AFL publicly to explain the free kick differential, and while you are at it ask them to explain the horrifically biased and one sided commentary we have to sit through as supporters.

    Enough is enough. Collingwood wouldn’t accept it, and why should we?

    Regards

    Every [censored] Melbourne Supporter
     

    Agree re the umpires. However we have done nothing to get any favourable commentary. Notwithstanding, McGuire and Brererton are vacuous nonentities.

    What a pathetic display of footy. 

    Our kicking in general, bar the odd one here and there (mostly to players 20 meters in the clear but even then it's a coin flip) is bloody awful.

    Even senior players have no ability to finesse and just take a little power off, & pull a kick to a leading player.  It's horrid.  It's been a problem at this club for 50 years!

    It looks that way, which means Josh Mahoney needs to go.

    I'd bring in any bloke off the street.

    He's legit the worst footballer that's ever pulled on this jumper.

    And Derwit has just explained why the sling tackle has become so 'standard'. The umpires paying ridiculous holding the ball frees has meant the ball carrier is desperate to get boot to ball when their arm is held, they lose control of their body. The tackler is desperate to prevent them from disposing of the ball and that is the best way to do it.

    Gil, you have [censored] this sport and put players lives at risk. I hope you get your ars sued to kingdom come.

    • 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.
