As long as it is just a well earnt rest and nothing more serious because no doubt that without May we cannot win a flag. 

No May and no Tmac. Definitely not confident. 

Absolutely.  No May. No flag. Or even prelim.

 

Some very lax defensive running.

    Midfield defending has been poor thus far. Clarry, Trac, Harmes and Langdon all jogging while their opposition runs off.

    Coaches need to find a way to fire them up consistently.

    TWICE now Oliver just ambling back with no intensity instead of chasing his man, resulting in 2 shots at goal. 

    So much for wanting to be the best teammate he can be.

    This is the stuff that ends up spreading through the whole team.

    That was quite possibly the worst goal we have given up this year. 


    They are beating us the exact same way they did last time

    Adelaide need to kick 10 more goals like that and they'll win; demons have to be switched on with their defensive running because Adelaide will try to run it out of defence all day.

    That was very lazy.


    I’ve said before and I’ll say it again.

    Salem’s  disposal is very ordinary under any sort of pressure , especially handball.

    I agree with this

    i might be seeing things but clarry might need to run a bit harder defensively?!?

    Deja vu all over again.

    Rat**** defensive running from Clarry. He’s well off today. 

    Cmon Dees fire up ffs. Should beat these sorts of teams by 60+ by now.

    Where's the tackling? always struggle when we don't tackle

    They know they can beat us and we are just not getting out of first gear. 

     

    Why do we fail to show due respect to these teams

    • 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.
