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

    I’d argue less.

    Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

    But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

    but could he play whatever ahem role Brayshaw is currently not playing very well?

    Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
    He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

    He's been quiet these last couple of games.


    One of my daughters, a keen Harry Potter fan, reckons the umps are under the Imperius Curse. A few Snape-like Crows fans with wands in the crowd, shouting ‘imperio’! As good a theory as any.

    Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

    Yep, we have the players to just run right through these soft clowns but they just aren't really interested.

    I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

    Not me

    I'm not happy to see any Melbourne player fail.

    However, the bloke looks very, very timid tonight.  He needs to lift the urgency and contribute more.

    Brayshaw is like the kid who's old man drags to play footy and he's picking the daisy's from the grass.

    Doesn't give a phark.

    Yeah the umpiring sucks.

    But let's talk about us.

    We suck more.

    We're barely up in CPs and down in clearances to the 0-9 basket case whose biggest weakness is their midfield.

    Gawn isn't dominating hit outs, so maybe that's impacted our ability to get on top in the middle. Who knows.

    I can't stand vandenBerg's OTT faux aggression. His free reversal is inexcusable.

    ANB and Bennell are giving us nothing, and without Hannan and Pickett we have no forward 50 pressure.

    And WHY is Brayshaw playing? 4 touches, spending time on the bench. I just don't get it. What is the point?

    I think most on here could play the role Gus is playing right now.  I'd be a chance of getting four touches to half time.

    Stoppage clearance 13 to 8

    And people still rate our mids? 

    Im rating JV.

    Trac having a bad night.


    We would struggle to get a third round pick for Brayshaw at the moment.

    3rd in the Brownlow two years ago. How in the...

    Goody pre match presser where improving and he has a plan for a premiership. There are more than half this side that are not AFL standard. It is so sad after seven years of a rebuild where back where we started. 

    How's this for a number:

    11 of our 'players" have had less than 5 disposals.

    Bennell 1.

    Are they actually doing any training while in these hubs? Or is it all golf and surfing? Skills are deplorable.

    We're seeing two bottom 3 or 4 teams tonight. It is depressing how terrible we've become.

    Crowns have 9 changes and multiple first gamers. Mind you we have an almost pristine injury list. This is the worst Crows side in their history and comfortably the weakest list in the league atm.

    And yet we are staring down the barrel of a loss.

    Unforgivable.

    True, but at least I won't have to watch that [censored] Ben Brown do it.  I couldn't handle that.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
