Max shepherded out of the ruck - no free.

13 - 8 plus so many not paid

Clear narrative from HQ. Just like the Lions game.


No need to chase this its gone, regardless we were playing in Adelaide only it will be on Friday Night.

2021 is hard enough without watching Melbourne embarrass themselves and fall apart like a cheap suit a week from finals.

    That was a blessed quarter for Geelong. They won’t do that again. Had a little help early in the quarter and then momentum had some fun. We dropped our heads badly. We need to make a respectable game out of it now though

    We’re getting put in a spliff. 
    Embarrassing with so much to play for 😩

    Heading for straight sets. 
    I’ve turned it off. I can’t watch this [censored].

    15 minute period has just ended our season. Yes we reload for finals, but with our current personal we cannot win a flag. Too much inexperience, and too much reliance on Oliver and Petracca. As soon as they’re not getting ball, our midfield disintegrates.

    Port will beat us in Adelaide next week. Who knows what happens from there.

    [censored] disappointing end to the season.

    Counts for little tonight. I’m glad that Scott has shown his hand so we can work on how to defend against them in finals if needed
     

    no injuries please

    well beat Port next week

     

    Their game plan is unchanged. Chip chip chip kick inside 50

     

    You'd think that a game plan that has stayed the same for the last 10 years might actually be defended by us

    So many pessimistic loser posts.

    It doesn't take much for anger and hatred to arise in football.

    Well this half will say a lot about the team and their belief.

    8 goals in a row in a single quarter. That is 2012 woeful.

    Well that was the worst 30 minutes of my week

    Just had to step out for a halfa, what did I miss??

     

     


    Need to just walk this one out and start preparing for next week, no point risking anything more on a lost cause. No point dwelling on this anymore cats just were on fire for 10 minutes. Won’t do it again if we play at some point and won’t be at gmhba 

    Edited by Garbo

    A shellacking will be no good for confidence heading into finals

    At the moment its an all round chitshow. We need some respectability from this game. Max, Trac, Clarry need to lead the way and defenders need to introduce themselves to each other. 

    Come on Dees ffs. Wake up

    Appreciate the hope.

    Just sad to see some blokes tonight as passengers.

    This was a chance to finish on top but sadly we dont want it enough.

    Our touted backline looks like a rabble.

    The lack of clearances in the middle is scary.

    We look like like a team thinking about the end of year os trip.

    Is that a Hocking reference? Or eyes on Tv reference?

    Mainly TV but a bit of Hocking.

    One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how?

    • 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.
