There’s the dees we know and .....

If that’s what we are going to dish up this season we are in for another quality season. 
 

See what happens when we get some of our good players back but geez I ain’t holding my breath. 

 

Nothing changed. Same old Melbourne. Still my heart beats true. Why?

Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him 

Agreed back. Though most would have given Jetta another shot.

 

Haven't been able to watch any of this one.  Are there any positives at all coming out if this?  What's the score btw?


max gets man handled, held out of the contest and jumped all over. English falls over and gets a free every time

 

Need to protect MAxX

    It’s 97-61

    No real positives. Jackson looks ok. ANB been excellent. Not sure if you think that’s a positive tho. 
     

    Jones looks good.

    Why are we not running guys like Petty and Laurie and giving game time to Tmac and Jones.

    Defensively solid. Lever and May looking in good nick.

    Fritsch kicked straight.

    None of the support act putting their hand up for round 1 selection

    This is really a pissy poor effort today.

    Really depressing stuff. 

    Sad thing is this is only pre season.

    More bad than good as a big picture, but IMO the positives would be:

    - May continuing his great form.
    - Lever looking like he's about to peak.
    - ANB some good moments as a linkup player and among the goals.
    - Chandler managed to snag one. Chance for round 1 maybe.

    We'd be 100 down if not for May and Lever

    28-13. There’s no coming back from that. 

    And all the umps will get a 'well done' from HQ.

    its not the loss, or the fact that we have a few missing.. its the way we lost. Appalling footy and does nothing, absolutely nothing to suggest we are going to do what Simon Goodwin has come out and said today.

    R1 looms large.

    • 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.
