Good while it lasted. Dogs just way too quick and our gameplan too one dimensional. you just knew after they interview Beveridge at half time that they would change things up. 

Every single time they get it out of our forward line they have 2-3 players lining up. 

If you can get loose across half back vs Melbourne = you win. Typically means you're fast enough to get space which means you're fast enough to transition. 

May and Lever saved us today from a real belting.

Why do our defenders all run to the contest and leave Wallis unattended time after time?````````

Whenever we lose, you notice Fritsch missing regularly. Just for the record.

    Sparrows done a shoulder.... Weid refuses to play in front.  We just dont know how to bottle a match up when the opp gets a run on and our forward  half pressure is non existent.

    Pickett, T-Mac & Spargo have been bog ordinary so far.  If you cant get the pill as a small forwars as a bare minimum you must force the odd turnover.

    Dog player handballs it over the line...no one from Melbourne remonstrated....no deliberate.  Such an amateur club with the little things and no voice of leadership on the park

    They always have 4,5,6 players around the ball.

    Goodwin is so crap. send someone to bontempelli ffs. we clearly haven't addressed any of the defensive accountability stuff. 

    If I see one more touched off the boot... JESUS!   Kids stuff!  


    Far out we need this Melksham.

    We are getting the ball in the wrong spots. Always on a tight angle. Beveridge coached well to force us off centre.

    And 4, 5, 6 out in space. They are well drilled, we aren’t. If plan A ain’t working we don’t know what to do


    Inside 50 count is 6-10.

    In OUR favour.

    They've kicked 5 goals.

    Two reasons: midfield being thrashed by theirs, and Beveridge coaching smartly with the switches.

    Our forward line is absolutely pathetic today. No pressure and couldn’t hit the side of a barn

     

    Melksham has been disgusting.

    • 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.
