    Geez, I reckon you're selling it a bit hard when your team is clearly out of form and your captain is coming out with:

    “The expected score, which Champion Data does, had us in front by the end of the game"...

    We were in front in a bunch of stats but the key ones

    Scoreboard

    Scores we allowed from D50 stoppages 

    Goal kicking accuracy

    Gawn is clutching at straws though. Listening to too many of Simon's press conferences

    BTW G Lyon and J Brown both said that the D50 stoppages are one of the easiest things to fix so lets hope they fix it pronto.

    You're forgetting the stat that lost us the game... 

    11-25

    I never understand when you lose games to  lowly teams then lose to a grand finalist that things are ok!  They are clearly not or we would have won.

    Maybe not, but you hardy expect him to say we have to do a major overhaul at this point in the season.  In any case, that would be a stupid policy.  We have to tweak some things and hope for some things to click and we get back to the form that saw us beat every good team.  Currently that seems unlikely, but I can't see much point in doing anything else right now.

    Rubbish the majority were free kicks to the dogs. Blaming the umpires is a poor excuse. The umpire was not kicking for goal. The simple  fact is the Dogs played better and  they have match winners on the day, we did  not. Remember that old one. When the going gets tough the tough get going.

    Well it looks very much like another year to wait for a flag if nothing changes.

    players and coaches presenting in media will always sell positivity not negativity

    they're not demonland posters, after all!

    There's being positive and then there's gaslighting

    How about being honest.

    "We're out of form. All is not lost, we can fix this stuff and we're onto it."

    See, I didn't even mention learnings.

    Could be, but how many of us expected a flag at the start of the season?     Seems to me that expectations rose high due to being unexpectedly near the top of the ladder for so long and that has unreasonably increased the negativity some feel now. 

    Let's hope that whatever happens from now is either a surprise return to form and a flag, or failing that, that we have something solid to build on for next year.

    Agree 100% I kept thinking in May that over the years I had seen a lot of May Premiers who did not even make the GF a few months later. After that start if we don't make the GF a few things will be different in 2022.

    You. Have. To. Be. Kidding

    I can barely remember a game umpired so poorly and so inconsistently. And i remember a lot of games where the umpiring has been woeful.

    It was 11-4 at half time.

    Our fourth free kick happened on our half back line with 5 seconds to go. So it was essentially 11-3. 

    And as always, it was the frees missed that were significant than the ones given.

    Sure we lost the game, and that's on us, but there is absolutely no question a big factor in their 21 point lead at half time was the rubbish umpiring. 

    Simply not good enough.

    • 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.
