    Goody needs to give the team a spray and demand a lift from our leaders. They shouldn't rock up for QB with such a poor attitude. Across the board we've been sloppy and disjointed. Salem only player switched on today.

    The pies are not great so we're not our of this by any means but i wish we didn't make things unnecessarily hard for ourselves all the time.

    My changes…….Max to FF.  Weed and Jacko to ruck. Trac, Clarry and rotate Hunt/Langdon/Kozzie through the middle. Harmes to go with De Goey if he starts in the middle of course.

    No Grundy and we still aren’t doing well in the middle.

    They are playing up tempo footy and we are behind the pace at the moment.

    Need our captain to lift & lead the way. Trac needs to start dominating, Langdon has to start running & seriously do something with weiderman. Oh & Pickett needs to do something. Yes he is exciting but it's time he he started to put himself into games

    My fears re Petty not being up to it have developed into reality

    Lol.. people just waking up now to how useless Weideman is? Dear lord.

    He hasn't been great but I'm hoping to see Mcdonald lift in the second half as well. When he lifts, the team lifts. The second half against Brisbane was a great example of that.

    People bang on about Melksham being best buds with Goody but I’d love to know what Weid has on him. How he keeps getting a game with one good game in six seasons when we have a proven 60 goal a year forward fully fit is one of the greatest selection mysteries of our time.

    QB is about Neale, not about Bucks. Let’s turn it back on in the third quarter, wrestle back the lead and get it done.

    really need to start linking some of these possession chains into positive forward entries, not long-bombs to packs in the pockets

    Lol Gary just loves to sink the boots in at times doens't he?

    I understand it's his job but sometimes I can hear the joy in his voice when we're down 

    He actually loves the club. He’s just frightened of being labelled as biased. So when he sinks the boots in, it helps the ‘unbiased’ narrative.

    I reckon Clarry more than anyone has some credits in the bank. He can’t win every game for us. He get 20+ touches in the second half. No doubt

    Doesn't matter. His complete lack of effort in the first 30 minutes set the tone for the rest of the boys and gave Collingwood a lift across the board. Not only didn't he work for the ball, he wasn't even within 50m of most contests. Not good enough and this predicament is not solely on his shoulders but largely on his shoulders as well as Fritsch's ball use and Gawn's lack of domination.

    Couldn’t be playing worse. We look slow, tired, unstructured, unskilled. Everything we haven’t been this season. 

    +4 inside 50s but three goals down. Kicking it to Moore isn’t helping but that’s in part because Weideman is just so far off it he’s not worth aiming for. So many of their goals have come from our forward half turnovers. 

    About the only positive is that we’re only 16 points down. We’ve flipped switches a number of times this year. Let’s hope we can again, because we’re sure as hell not winning this the way we’re playing so far. 

    All talls have also failed to at least get the ball to ground as well albeit with few opportunities so far but they have all failed.

    Tracc's Hollywood handballs have also been  super frustrating to watch so far.

    Defence a shambles. Lever hates defending and would rather just sit out for the easy ball.. [censored] man up!

    Max getting taught a lesson by Lunch who's played 4 games.. that's right 4 [censored] games!

    This is Adelaide written all over again. 

    He's been given a fair go now Daz, He can't complain about the run he has been given, the time has come for BBB.

    The zoning off and all round defensive effort is way off. I don't want to hear about the narrow ground this should make it easier if anything.

    We paid money to come to our club and kick goals.

    Get him in and just let him work with Tmac.

    Fair call. What a difference a poor game from him makes. But Trac hasnt been great either.

    And when we do go forward we look disinterested and are beaten everytime.

    Why Sam W cannot hold a mark is strange. His timing is off. 

    Tmac has gone missing and we really rely on him.

    Heres hoping we can do what we did against the Lions and flick the switch on.

    Im not sure if we can. The body language isnt great.

    Win ..lose or draw can we at least start tackling much more and show some physicality.

    We are top v a  bottom side ffs....lets at least make it hard for them.

    I'm positive we're being lazy.
    I'm positive we're being outcoached
    I'm positive we'll probably lose this by a poor umpiring decision and a kick
    I'm positive this may be our mid year slump
    I'm positive we're much better than this
    Time to lift Dees .

    • 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.
