Is the post game thread open yet?

Why not just go to "is Goodwin the right guy?"

    Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

    The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

    It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

    The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

    On the bright side guys, Sydney will jump Hawks on the ladder so our draft pick we get off them will be one pick higher now.

     

     

    You know you’ve stuffed up selections when O Mac gets sent to full forward just to stay out of the way.

    Bad night for Sydney to pull out their best performance for the year.

    They always pull out their best effort against us.  Very much our bogey side.

    So who’s let the supporters down then? Elaborate. 

    How we start this quarter will be everything.

    Start fast and we're in it. Let Sydney continue to park the bus or concede a goal and we're [censored].

    I turned off the game at half time. I literally can’t remember the last time I did that if ever. 

    gutted

    wind has dropped substantially from the first quarter

    clutching at straws

    How so? 

    But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor.

    And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

    I know I'm totally up for 2 hours of elite athletic performance after 5 hours of flights and airport transfers. 

    Exactly my point. What a great preparation for a game.

    Langdon the only bloke that's played the first three quarters

    Christ, we painfully inch the ball fwd around the boundary - Syd get it to their 50 with a couple of kicks down the spine.  Ugh.

    Many of us called him to be dropped.

    Bizarre coaching selection once again that he was kept in the side against a more nimble forward line.

    Fritta is awful 

    Honestly should be traded. He is soooo soft and scared of any physicality, goes missing way too often and only bobs up with 1 or 2 when things are said and done. Woeful kicking skills and gets very little of it.

    • 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.
