    Walker is legit one of the least pleasant humans to look at going around.

    Hopefully our class will show 2 nd half     but a few look tired.    10 in a row is bloody hard to do but  we can do it

    How ridicoulous is that decision. I don't like bagging the umps but seriously. My 5 year old could tell that wasn;t deliberate

    Agree.  It’s a joke.

    I think a loss is not the end of the world. But losing because defensively we are falling apart is really disappointing. 
     

    Crows playing in front. This will be an arm wrestle which could go either way, or we will turn on the after burners and kick away.

     

    The umpires need to learn how far 15m is.

    Hopefully they draw inspiration from the North game where we struggled through the first half but rebounded strongly after half time. 
     

    We haven’t looked this incapable of stopping a side’s ball movement in a long while.

    They are using the ground space much better than us. We are going direct and turning it over and their transition is slicing us apart. Our mids need to enhance defense pressure.

    Ditto. It’s the big call out by Goody at half time.  Two way running needed.  

    If Tex got in Fritsch’s head there it would just sum up the half and how a team sitting 9-0 has been intimidated by an average team who has shown a bit of skill but relentless work rate to win the footy. 
     

    Lift.

    why are people so negative on here? this is basically how every game has gone this season.

    In one half, the crows have nearly kicked the average FT score against us this year...

    Defence has been woeful (Jetta poor, May having a mare, we are missing Salem big time), skills have been sloppy, we're giving too much room and generally look gassed.

    I know we have to lose at some point, but I'd rather it was not to these posers.

    Hoping Weid can prove his worthiness in the side in the last 2 quarters.

    As for our small forwards in ANB, Spargo and Kossie, wake the puck up.

    Very untrue. Adelaide are cutting us up through the middle and are transitioning with ease. Our backline has been very very poor and loose. This is the first time it’s happened all year.

    We haven't got our match ups right. Tex is winning on the lead vs Petty but it's a win for Petty in the one on one.

    May has had one effective spoil all game on a 5 gamer.

    Lever has the small but Crows don't mind that as they are fine taking the short option and or trying to rove the pack.

    Langdon and Hunt are the keys for us to win this game. We need speed to match them as they are breaking very easily.

    We are desprately missing some movement out of defence.

    Langdon had ripper first quarters but that 2nd one was not good.

    Jordon has hardly touched it.

    Anb and Spargo twiddling their thumbs.

    Hunt and Petty are  just not moving.

    Im surprised scores are level.

    Melksham started well too but was mia in that quarter.

    A big shout out to Max and Trac but we were poor in that quarter. 

    Scores are level though so why are the commentators just raving avout the crows.

    We are not five goals down.

    Give us a break.

    Hary Lyon shame on you. This was your club mate. Just calm down Gary.

     

    Backline looks so shaky. Will need Kosi magic to get out of this one with a W.

    North killed us for a half, they couldn't miss a target.

    • 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.
