    So many attempts to hit up short targets, and shallow ones, coming inside 50 into a crowded zone.

    Need to use the short ground and get it deep to the front of the goal square more often to mix things up, put pressure on the defenders and give the talls are fair chance to mark/smalls to crumb.

    The short stuff is too often, too predictable and in such a crowded forward line, spoiled too often.

    Go longer.  And this is where BB would have been slightly harder to defend had he been instructed to play deep IMHO vs the Weid whose DNA sees him more likely to play higher and on the lead.

    The pies are bringing us to their level. The challenge now is to get it back on our terms.

    Oliver needs to lift. In a quarter where we had 113 disposals for the quarter,  he only had 3.

    Jackson, ANB, Jordan and May good so far.

    Weeds hasn't got anywhere near the ball.

    Oliver quiet.

    Our first quarters have been so often underwhelming. We're ahead. Confident we'll smash them.

    well, OK.

    To Collingwoods credit they are doing exactly the right thing. Not letting us move the ball cleanly and blocking the outlet on the Langdon wing. Well done to them.

    • 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.
