Tbh, even though we're up, it just doesn't look like the way we play.

Straight kicking & brilliance from Tracc in Qtr1 was all it was.

Could get ugly this. Let's see.

6-1 in centre clearances St Kildas way. Our midfielder coach is pathetic, can’t remember the last time we won the game from the midfield.

    I don’t know. Why does this happen every week? Because it’s a rinse and repeat pattern. Are our players really too stupid to follow instructions? Are they deaf? Poorly coached? Blind? Dehydrated? Drunk? I mean really I’m an unfit 34 year old who has never played footy in her life and I can see it. Why can’t they? Whoever they are?

    I think it is called coaching. No tactical smarts, you know there is a time and place to attack and a time late in a quarter to be defensive but we don’t have a clue.

    This match us there for the taking.  It simply comes down to who wants it the most.

    This will tell the tale and whether the boys really are playing to win and force their way into the eight.

    If we lose i'm afraid this club will need to take a serious look at things within the FD.

    How the [censored] is a dumb kick by an experienced player and concentration lapse from the mids a second later Goodwin fault!!!

    ffs the anti-coach cult on this site [censored] me.

    Honestly turnovers happen to every team. Even the best teams. They are annoying but it’s a game played by humans who make mistakes. 
    I can forgive that but what I can’t forgive is the same horrible midfield set up that allows opposition to stream forward easily for goals every week. 

     The way this is going it'll be season hopes gone.

    I'm expecting a different ,stronger melbourne comes out after half time.

    But no money on it

    I won't argue that Jones should retire gracefully at the end of the year, but I don't think he's been THAT bad (outside of that absolute shocker of a turnover).

    Sorry Wise, he's been poor. 

    Harmes, surely, can do better in that spot on the ground.


    Lets not panic yet. Yes we squandered a good lead but we are still in yhis. One big 3rd quarter is all we need.

    Up until the horrible turnover, Jones had actually been playing quite well.  Wagner hasn't been too bad either.

    I'll give you Vanders, though.  I'm a fan but he's done nothing tonight other than setting up our third goal of the night.

    Sorry Wise I’m not stalking with all the reply’s but Vanders has been average, at best all season.

    Make that 7-1

    There were plenty of positives with Weed, Brown, Melksham, Spargo, Petracca as well as May and Lever. Let down by midfield and stupid mistakes. Gonna taken big effort from here.


    lol wow

    Oliver has been trash fire in this game. Worst game I've seen him play.

    • 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.
