    Lever solid? He's been the worst on ground.

    Actually watch the game Dub....

    Lever has been solid in 1v1s. His spoiling has been particularly good.

    His turn over kick before was horrendous and turned the play. 

    But for the rest of the game, I'd agree that he's been one of our better contributors.

    Disagree.

    His turnover cost us a goal, and it was a shocker.

    But he hasn't been beaten one on one, taken a few intercept marks and made plenty of important spoils.  Far from our worst.

    Melksham and Viney on the other hand...

    Viney, Fritter, Spargo, ANB, AVB doing very little. Desperately need some/all to lift in 2nd half

    They are having a go, i agree. and its a good response, but leaders continually make mad decisions it doesnt help. the 4 in our leadership team have been awful.

    Footy is a game of split seconds. Sometimes they just male the wrong decision

    Applies to umpires too

     

    The appalling umpiring is enough to drain any hope of getting a 'fair go' on the football field. Especially when you see a thug like Mumford receive free kicks and get away with what the commentators drool over as 'big hits'. ?

    Sorry lads I have to disagree. He's been no different Joel Smith tonight in terms of spoiling.


    Would swap Weid with May.  I just can't see us kicking a winning score with Weid at FF.  We'll most likely lose anyways.

    Time to flip them around and just have Weid defend as best he can across CHB.  Lever to FB.  Hide Smith on a flank.

    Lets take it up to them by playing May across CHF and clunk a few marks or bring the ball to ground for Kozzy and Spargs.

    We simply must trade Fritta & Melk at years end.  Both go missing for far too long and far too often in matches.

    Where's Lockhart gone.  He has to be carrying something surely.  Just can't see how Nev gets a game ahead otherwise.

    Such abetter effort tonight so far

    Anyone got one of those online defibrillators.

    Honestly I don't feel well.

    That's probably because I just a couple of glasses labelled "Romsey Manor"

    Is that a real winery or one of those fortified jobs?

    Just checked the fine print... WARNING- it has chemicals added and "may contain fragments of grape material"

    But I love the nutty aroma. Reminds me of the last time my old Dad sprayed Roundup - and forgot the water.

    I wish he was here

    He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract. 

    We need to sign players up on shorter deals and keep them driven to excel.

    Ling you are a dead set [censored]. [censored] off and don’t come back. [censored].

    ANB then with a soft piece of play.  Jumped up then packed his pants and handpassed it to no one.

    • 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.
