Geez, the girls not doing themselves justice today sadly. They look second best in every facet. There are shades of the West Coast prelim about this one.

    This is really poor from the Demons. Horrible skills, not changing tactics just keep kicking it back to them. Keep your head girls! Handball, short kicks

    I’ve been a staunch defender of AFLW, but this standard is pure [censored]...it’s not unreasonable to say that the u15s down at any local park in Melbourne right now demonstrate more understanding of the game than what is being displayed here. 
     

    with that rant aside, we have no forward structure and have simply fumbled everything under pressure.

    We're in Hail Mary territory now. We need a toby greene style flurry of quick goals to have any hope.

    Have you watched any of our games this year or have you waited until the prelim to stick the boot in?

    Call on Kayo is that Adelaide centric now on

    Yes, terrible caller.

    C'mon Dees, get two quick ones.

    Crows are marking everything.

    We are trying hard, just don't have a system that works.

    The Tarrant miss set us back. Need to get the ones that are easy, no goals.

    It’s the ability to execute skills under pressure which sets players apart. Hanks and Paxy have been great in that regard.  I reckon it’s Gaby Colvin’s best game.  Adelaide have been too strong. It has been a joy watching them this season, well for Meggs at least.

    I’ve watched them all and attended them all in person here in Vic. I’m not just sticking the boot into our girls, it’s about the standard of the competition. 
     

    the inability to pick up the ball below the knees and the constant fumbling under no pressure does my head in. 
     

    how would you assess the progress over the last 5 years??

    Our progress this season, other than a bad mid-season wobble, has been excellent. 

    I don't like condescending remarks comparing the women to U15's. It's out of order imv.

    And if our men can show half the heart of this team we'll be a long way towards a tilt at the flag

    • 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.
