Melksham is putrid 

He’s the most selfish bloke out there.

    Wasn’t expecting this. Good effort but we really need to put the pressure on this quarter. This lead is way too easy for them to overcome.

    Thank [censored] they called against cuntington. He is usually given a longer tether than most

    To be fair, that’s the first time we have bothered to tackle him today.

    That is seriously one of the best goals I've ever seen from Kozi in that quarter. Not overly flashy but the work rate was absolutely insane.

    And usually dives forward for the "in the back" when he knows he's done.

    Jake Melksham has made me nearly put my fist through a window at least 7 times today.

    Can't stand the [censored]

    He delivered three balls on the chest that quarter. Not had a great game but it's clear he's better forward of centre. He's trying to create.

    Much better quarter Melbourne. Worked our socks off and levelled up the contest ball. Gives us a fighting chance. Luke Jackson more than did his job in those centre bounces. Hasnt been a good one from Maxy but a big last quarter will suffice.

    Tom McDonald has been good for us since he went back.

    Good move by Goodwin there.

    Goodwin talks about playing your role and sticking to your structures, but he gives this guy a free ride. The mind boggles.

    You and me both.

    My North-supporting mate put $100 on them at 14:1. Not looking like a bad investment right now...

    Let’s hope we both have no clue what we’re talking about.

    His work rate was amazing for that goal. Cyril-esque. Was worried the criticism this past week would have hurt him but he's responded.

    First goal super important. We get it and I think they give up and it'll blow out.

    Next few weeks it gets tough. The fairy tale was never going to last all season 

    We are now being Hunted. 

    Speaking of Hunt...he has been totally Mia.

    One kick....ZERO tackles.

    With Jv out and Oliver having a quiet day it has a huge impact.

    Thankyou Fritta and Kozzie and Langdon and Trac.

    Anyone know what happened to Brayshaw??

    Some half time moves and an increase in work rate and we look a lot better. Great to see the kids in Koz and LJ lead the way. Now surely they dont come back out on their heels thinking its done? Surely...

    Melksham’s role is to kick accurately 

    He did well that quarter. Helps us get back into the game

    Not quite as good, but similar in a way to Farmer's Goal of the Century. Took possession in theback half and gave and received all the way until a goal was scored.


    Fully expecting North to come out firing and red hot to win this. 

    We are still trash in the clearances. Sort this out and we win. Otherwise this will go down to the wire.

    He's not a mid fielder that's for sure.  High HF kicking inside for the hit ups is about it.  Doesn't pressure without ball and when it's on the ground good luck.  I'm not sure a team can carry that one major asset long term.  Or can they?

    Indeed. ?

    (I think it's going to take a few good years to get rid of my deeply ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Dees.)

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
