We got smashed in the midfield, yet most our votes have gone to midfielders!!!

On reflection I should have given more votes to our backs.

Also who was on Daniel's - he destroyed us.

Agree.  Simon Goodwin. Please explain why we let Daniel alone as a loose defender all night. He set up a lot of Bulldog entries. He is highly skilled and used the corridor.   It was obvious to me. Next time FFS Play him tight with an Anb, Melksham or a Harmes across half forward.

Petracca a lot of disposals, but almost wholly ineffective IMHO. 

This is about right.    special mention to all us supporters who still think we are a chance this year.  I think our record since QB speaks for itself. Middle of the road at best 

6. Oliver

5. Hunt

4. Neal-Bullen (I'm amazed there are more people wanting to drop him than give him votes!)

3. Lever

2. Gawn (I don't understand the kicking wildly at every opportunity...but I'll assume it was coaches' instructions)

I am starting to get a bit concerned with Ed Langdon, he is in free fall since round nine and boy are we feeling the impact of his decline. Let’s hope he finds his Mojo over the next four weeks as we are not as good a team without him firing on all eight cylinders.

I think ANB going at 48% DE has setting to do with it.

He got involved a lot and generally played ok (7 clearances and 4 SIs) but also had 7 turnovers from his 25 disposals.

Thanks. I try not to allow myself to be persuaded by statistical parameters - good or bad - when deciding on votes. Especially as I think disposal efficiency is a very crude measure. But I appreciate that ANB undoes a lot of his good work with poor disposals. However, I thought in thisn game he also had many good possessions which resulted in positive results. Perhaps a second viewing of the game (which I won't do!) might persuade me otherwise.

Not a single soul apparently.

  • 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.

  • 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.
