we aren't going to fire a shot in finals even if we do make it  

We are miles off late 2018.

    I know the type. Good sledger and tells good jokes on the sidelines while we are in bat. To be fair, those players are worth their weight in gold in cricket.

    Can someone tell me why we are relegated to playing in Cairns while other teams play in the comfort of the Gabba? Is there something to prove?

    Why are we trying to possess and finesse so often around stoppage YEats?

    Tap/punch/kick the ball forward or in any direction where you can see space and no opp....and run onto it.  Its wet weather footy.

    Whent 1st touch is a fumble

    Then 2nd touch is under pressure

    Rubbish half of football. Freo controlling this game. Goodwin outcoached again.

    This club is going nowhere with the current playing group and coaches. Even if we miraculously make finals, we’re not doing any damage.

    What a [censored] waste of time.

    #12 Bedford playing a match reminiscent of Tom Gillies.

    he seems slightly deranged.

    We lack the want to spread, the ability to stick a tackle or the ability for players to hold their position and trust their team mates. Playing like we are we trying to save it rather than win it?

    Reckon Tomlinson has been playing pretty well on Hogan too.

    Absolutely shanked that vital kick I50

    Do we? I’d rather some one who actually wins the football, can use it and doesn’t clout someone already over the boundary line that gives them a free.

    Dumb and unnecessary

    Yea we need a sarcasm emoji G. I said after the Pies game I thought he  was terrible and as lots frothed about his toughness.

    Please tell me that Goodwin can coach one more time? 

    This is worse the Collingwood in 2017 when we had to make finals

     

    We don't want it. We're dumb. We can't hit a target

    Bye bye Goodwin

    That Preuss rag foll tackle was a carbon copy of Frosty's vs WCE. Even to the point where he kicked it out on the full!

    Great.  

    Still doesn't change the fact he's been playing well on Hogan.

    Our disposal is completely unacceptable.  Looks like we try to go boundary throw in to boundary throw in.  They move it freely, we are fumbly and second rate.  Lucky to be so close.  Second half is make or break, boys!

    I hate the way we play under Goodwin. He must go.

    Because we are a side show and everyone other than Melbourne supporters sees it

    Also, I love this four of Lyon, Healy, Brown and Roo talking about the game.  They are really having a go, especially Garry.

    I feel like I’ve been hit in the throat by a tennis ball.

    • 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.
