Yellow ....are sorting it out for them. As always. 

Sorry but Max has turned really dumb this season with ball in hand in open field. 

He needs to get that handball off quickly or alternatively just bomb long up the line.  He is too slow to decide, too slow to execute.  Does he even remember he's 6' 8" or so?

    At least three goals turnover due directly to corrupted umpiring.

    You can see who the AFL want in the finals. 
     

    What a disgrace of an organization you are running Gil.

    Honestly if Goodwin stays on, and I hope he doesn’t, he has to come up with a way for us to win games when we aren’t dominating clearances. You can see the decline directly correlate in this quarter to GWS winning clearances. It’s an absolute joke.

    We were struggling all quarter with clearances and CPs. Our first quarter dominance disappeared.

    We defended well for the first 3/4 of that quarter but from the Lever turnover onwards we just couldn't stop them.

    Had our chances (Fritsch's late miss and ANB's infuriating failure to run closer to goal before kicking) but if we don't get back on top in the middle we won't win.

    Jetta is so unbelievably cooked.
    I really want him to stay at the club in an off field role, but his playing days are way past him. 

    Lockhart should have come in. Jetta has been cooked since last year.

    Goodwin should pull the lads out of this game. Make a stand. This happens to us too often. I'd like to see us make a protest about the umpiring and just stay in the sheds.

    Viney trying to break 8 tackles in one play over and over. It happens every game. Its dumb football.

    Lever has cost us 2 goals with inexcusable clangers.

    And two first round draft picks. Absolutely reamed.

    I can’t stand channel 7. I hope someone else wins the next TV bid. The commentators are just embarrassing, and clearly haven’t watched much footy in 2020.

    Viney never takes the first option , he has to trust his team mates.

    He's having a bit of a shocker tonight.  Just the four touches and he's been caught twice holding the ball.  One of the main senior players who needs to lift.

    Just now, Brownie said:

    How many set shots has he missed this year?

    It’s the MFC way. Take someone who is great at something and change it. Pickett looked like a great set shot when he got to the club also but our coaching staff have obviously tinkered with the routine 

    Daisy Thomas on those Pointsbet ads is excruciatingly bad. It’s like watching a crap Year 9 drama student.

    Yep that too

    We absolutely stink when the slightest bit of pressure is put on us. Lose a few clearances and watch a lead go down the toilet.

    Yeah better than last week, still not convinced.

    He's a poor drop punt set shot. Can only do around the body 

    98% of crowd is red and blue though

     

    Good vibes

    • 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.
