I mean so many great tackles unrewarded, and that scrap gets rewarded to Buddy.

    Why are our tackles unrewarded?

    Gawns was a farce.

    If we dont fix our centre clearace issue goody we will lose.

    Trac needs to lift on six million bucks.

    Gus just rocking up.

    Too many sub par efforts in this game.

    Gawn into the middle and we lose all momentum. Jackson has to ruck out the game.

    I do not understand how holding the ball is a different rule in our goal square than it is everywhere else on the ground.

    Rampe took on Spargo and got done cold.

    I’m so annoyed about Fritsch kicking into the man on the mark.

    I’m furious.

    It should NEVER happen.

    He’s having a mare.

    Fritsche is having an absolute mare. Trac thinks he can plow through the entire Sydney team by himself. A bit of bighead about him this week with his new fat bank account.

    We should win this from here, but the Cats thought the same thing last week.

    Hes a kicked a goal but why is there just so much love for melksham?

    9 possies.

    Hes a passenger.

    Just once has he starred in a game thats all and got some votes?

    Be honest folks.

    Again, we dominate the first two thirds of the quarter but don’t convert that dominance into goals. 22 points was good but should have been 2-3 goals more. 

    Couple of critical moments go against us and we end up losing the quarter it’s only a 10 point margin.

    We must take our chances if we want to win this.

    Petty is nowhere near the level needed.

    As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

    That was a pathetic performance by Gaen and the mids. Getting absolutely flogged in the clearences

    He’s been far from our worst - 15 possessions, 10 contested.

    Was ok in that quarter along with Nibbler and Salem

    Yep and Fritsch needs to lift and do the basics right. The kick into the man on the mark shows he's not switched on. Hunt playing well as is Langdon....

    Did some one forget to tell Fritta he got off. Cos seriously he would have been more effective in the stands. He has so far avoided every contest available. 
    Petty is no good. Any game he plays means we are a player down. 
    Trac tonight is believing the hype and getting caught by being selfish. 
    Max needs to actually lift and stamp his authority on the game.

     

    If Goodwin doesn’t work out the centre square set up we are behind the 8 ball.

    Need a big qtr. Swans have the momentum, we need to get the first 2 goals. 

     

    Sitting right in front of the Buddy HTB decision. The way he jumps on a stationary pack and turns around petulantly looking sat the umpire who pays it... Christ...

    • 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.
