Worst part about Tmacs performance is that Baku Khamis is playing on him and beating him

    We have never had a poor pre season to only go on and dominate the year.

    Beating the premiers not good enough for ya?

    Far out, bit less caffeine for some of you blokes I reckon.

    Harmes also cooked. Absolutely does no damage 

    Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

    It’s a practice match right. Dogs seem intense compared with us.
     

    No use tagging the Bont. He’s going to be out with leather poisoning 


    Red and blue witches hats. 

     

    All signs point to Omg.

    Yea sure have stars out but all these blokes need to be able to play. Skills and intent missing by way too many.

    Tmac should probably hang up the boots as should a few of these umps.

    We’ve started with all the tenacity of a wet blanket. Midfield is absolutely getting destroyed and nice to see Bontempelli alone again. 

    I thought we learnt last year when he destroyed us. Without Clarry and JV, our midfield is struggling v Dogs. 

    Painful even for a practice game. Quite a few mids missing today but the ball movement and clearance work is still some of the worst in the comp. Its still hard to see what the intent really is and It seems the players feel the same way.

    Baker, sparrow, harmes, spargo,  Vandenberg are a big no from me. Depth is really really poor

    i know its a practice match and we have personnel missing but its not good signs. can't hit target cant hold tackles and wont chase hard enough

     

    One thing that hasn't changed 3 dees up for the same mark

     

    I know its early days but effort is effort

    The cream is very clearly rising to the top. They are destroying us in every aspect of the game. We look lost. 
    Our skills are woeful. Mark Williams has a lot of work.

    Hasnt been great but he chased more than many.

    Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries

    Ummmm.  He played a good 5 minute burst v Pies last year and kicked 3 goals ... then went missing for the rest of 2020. Surely hung on to a list spot by a whisker.

    What's this learning thing you speak of?

    Martin is a great pick up for them, can release English forward

    Can’t see anything in Baker or Jordon to make me think either will be a player. Yeah, a practice match but for mine, they don’t have it unfortunately.

    Remember when we traded him for SFA.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
