Writing is on the wall. Our heads have dropped and we are going to sleep yet again.

Saints will know they have us beaten despite being behind at half time.

That last 10 mins was So Melbourne.

Disgusting.

    Our backline saves this team. May Hibberd Salem even Lever probably filthy some of the goals and entries teams get against us.

    Jones you been learning form Tomlinson you bloody donkey. Offs I cant stand this club. we are the worst side for giving away goals in the last two minutes. Useless

    I've been saying that for years. We give away goals in the last minute of most quarters. Its unforgivable. Costs us many games. We have some real talent at our club. But we have a coaching staff who selects absolute spuds, players who cannot kick and execute. As someone who knows the game, I find it completely baffling. We pay the price. Even as fans we hurt.

     

    Sorry Jones it's been great but you are done. You're meant to be a leader but I can guarantee that 21 seconds has cost us the game. [censored] off!!!!

    Typical [censored] Melbourne. 

    Fail to once again slow the game down at Red time.

    You’d think we would work on that. Learn to execute a shut down structure with 5 minutes left in quarters. But that requires two things we don’t have, disciplined players and good coaching. 


    I was ready to talk us up for that first half.

    The slower game style was working really well.  We were taking our chances and we had the game on our terms.

    Then they pay a soft free against Viney and we go to water.  Jones turns it over, then we fail to kill a contest a minute later and it brings them right back into the game.

    We are right in it, though.  Good time to get inside and reset.

    Now they shut us down the last part of that quarter, work it out Goodwin and make the adjustments

    Geez, we are p15s weak. Don't deserve to win.

     

    All that hard work gone to chit. 

    WTF was Jones thinking???

    If Goody's position wasn't precarious enough, that last 10 mins was a coach killer!

    Viney 4 disposals so far in the game, Brayshaw 4 disposals and Oliver 0 disposal that quarter. 

    Pull ya [censored] finger out lads!

    We dominated the first half of the second quarter for one goal.

    Then we lapsed and let them back in.

    But even then, 47 seconds to go and we had a 14 point lead. And Jones had a free kick. His decision to kick across goal was abysmal. Coach-killing, abysmal football.

    We opened the door and then Jones welcomed them straight through it.

    Too many good players down, again: Viney 4, Brayshaw 4, Oliver 7, Petracca 8.

    And just like that it's a 2pt ballgame. FFS. Can easily see a 10 goal loss brewing here.

    Yes, that was bad by Jones, but Goodwin should be giving our big gun centre square crew an earful. Besides Petracca’s 2 goals, we need a big lift from our 4 primary mids.

    Big positive is our ability to shut down their run, so that must continue.

    We totally took their one game away from them and then Jones kicks across goal, in between two Demons, goal and completely swings the momentum. 

    The play before that, we have them totally covered and Jack Viney clumsily hits Phillips above the neck, soft, but free kick. Goal.

    That was terrible by Jones.  He cost us big time.  If he cleared it, we go in more than two goals up.  We now go in two points up.  His kick to Clarry in the middle also was 5 m too long, and cost us a goal.

    Need more from Oliver Trac was quiet that quarter

    Nothing from Pickett Hannan Spargo VandenBerg and turnovers everywhere. Yep. It’s all going to plan.

    Players are the ones who need to make the adjustments.

    Consider the last three goals.  One was given up from a free kick.  Then Jones turns it over.  And finally we cough up a centre clearance for a goal.

    The players are the ones who need to get their heads back in the game.

    Yes. And it's vintage because we persist with vintage losers like Jones.

    Our midfield is just ****house. Our defense covers for so many of their mistakes. Just no synergy or strategy to anything the midfield does.

    Yet again cannot tempo control a lead. 
     

    What a pack of teasers.

    • 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.
