Need to fire up or it’s done. They’ve belted us in clearances and contested marking. If we can’t get our handles all the ball at the source then it’s game over. Credit to Freo for smashing us at the contest. They’re a quality team.

 

Midfield needs to stand up, they got destroyed in that quarter, someone need to put a rocket under Petracca

Unless brown or weiderman come good

Tell me you're not watching the game without telling me you're not watching the game...

Just remember Freo beat Geelong a few weeks ago. They aren't a bad team.

In some good news at least Taberner is subbed out injured

 

Even though we got well and truly smoked in that quarter, some of our misses are now coming back to haunt us. Fritters snap miss when we were on a roll, Weid's post, Trac's snap miss, they'd have us about par right now. I have confidence in us running over the Dockers, generally speaking, but aside from a burst in the second quarter, I'm not sure where it's coming to come from today, we look really flat, and it really does feel like it's going to be the loss that we need to have. I think we've been coasting for a long time and many of the guys really need a jolt. Maybe the loss will do that. A reminder that we are good, but need to be on our toes always, anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

I think we can win this. But we need to come out breathing fire.

    Freo excellent and not sure if we can win it but we'll re-group and be better in the last. We're a champion team so we won;t give up without a fight. I'm sure of that

    Come on dees

     

    Nibbler should have had the shot himslef. bad decision

    Wow ANB, we are low on confidence. That would have been the perfect start

    Jackson's currency dropped big time after that display. Weid on the backline is a terrible move.

    Big time. Hasn't played great for awhile


    For all the TMac haters out there, things could have been very different after May's injury if he had been playing instead of Weideman.

    Petty out of form. Tomlinson could be in line for a recall

    Just about the whole team aside from Oliver has been for a few weeks

    Interesting to see, have to attack the game now instead of trying to manage it.

    That’s the problem, our system doesn’t really allow for that.

    Bang, bang, bang would be handy about now

    • 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.
