Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us. 

 I'll just say it again FFS...... Again again and again.

    Why are you all blaming Smith? Hibberd gave tippinwuiti all the space that led to that goal.

    Essendon on the few occasions they’ve bothered, have transitioned the ball well. But our mids relax when the quarter is nearly over, drop their defensive set up and this [censored] happens. Every. Single. Time. 


    Are Melksham and Spargo playing?  We are 2 players short. (3 if we add Smith)

    You can hide players   but  how much hiding do we need to do with Smith.

    Our final quarter possibly for the season. Just win well melbourne, rub further salt into the essendon team and there fans. 

    No injuries either please. 

    Just keep going. 

     

    Poor quarter too defensive need to kick goals.

    Are Spargo and Milkshake even playing today?

    Delist Spargo, Smith, Neal-Bullen.  Dumb and lack intensity.  


    My god this is a boring game. Can’t hit targets, kick goals, don’t look in any words the centre when playing, always playing the boundary side and players casually jogging around.  
     

    This is pathetic. Most of the play is stop and start with no flow or system what so ever. 
     

    My son said he just wants the game to be over, it’s bloody boring and they keep turning it over. Says it all really.

    i dont understand why they do not know tippinwuti is going to run with the ball every change he gets, he keeps faking them out  and running around our players. thankfully he is not destroying us like he has in the past.

    Terrible quarter, the only reason we didn't lose it by a handful of goals is they are just so bad.

    How Melksham made it through the entire season without being dropped is just dumbfounding.

    Would be classic Melbourne if we lost from here, against a genuinely awful side playing bottom 2 football.

    Ugh another goal on the siren.

    Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

    Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing. 

     

    Given Daniher's combination of appalling set-shot kicking, general inconsistency and the dreaded osteitis pubis, I was staggered they delisted a tall forward with demonstrated 2019 goalkicking ability.

    Seeing tipungwuti create havoc for us shows the importance of chasing a Saad/Zac Williams type this off season. 

    Well this may well be our last quarter of 2020. Which Melbourne will turn up?


    I’m blaming Smith because SEN is blaming Smith, and it’s all I have to go on.

    Yeah milkshake is pointing and telling players where to go. He is like our very own traffic cop. Useless. 

     

    Just kick it to Hunt or Petracca. Only two forwards that can kick straight at the moment.

    • 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.
