I'll be very, VERY surprised if we win this. Collingwood just look primed to absolutely go nuts. Just like Freo. Brace yourselves fam.

That’s the spirit @praha

So it would be really great if trac, both browns & kozzie get busy this quarter

Just leave Kozzie up fwd.

    Too tall, M Brown should never be playing, Kozzie was passed by Oliver in a chase down… Sparrow still isn’t in good form, Trac is slowly getting better. 
    We need to a lift off those lesser players Fritta and M Brown getting marks inside 50 would help too.

    Correct, he serves no purpose, doesn’t crash packs and can’t take a contested mark.

    I would much rather Weid up forward despite his recent performances.

    Or JVR. Young and not ready but he gives a crack. Weid and Mitch Brown appear not wanting to hurt anyone in a contest

    Given the last few weeks and the fact that the Pies should be up right now, they'll be smelling blood in the water.

    If we don't come out firing, we lose. We look tired and it's going to take a few more games to get our mojo back. Today is about getting a win to settle things.

    Geez we look like a pale imitation of ourselves from last year.

    Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well 

    Unforgiveable.

    really hope max is ok, need everyone to take the tackle pressure and intensity up a notch in the second half. Come on Dees!

    It's obvious from level 4 of the ponsford we are just not moving. We get the ball and the team is stagnant. No one leading into space. M.brown non existent

    Yep and this is the case in general around stoppages and in game play.

    A few too many handball receivers are flat footed but....this is also being brought about by one or two extra (unecessary)  handballs to a nearby player drawing further pressure.

    Too me this is a structural adjustment thing.  Get the outliers out a little further so they have a tad more time to change lanes after the receive & execute by foot or get the overlap going over the top by hand.

     

    Big moment in our season this half. What are we going to stand for?

    Know it's been said, but missing May.

    Random cursing.


    We just have to find a way to hang on. We rely on Oliver at clearances way to much. Mitch Brown looks like an old man. 

    Missing Tom McDonald up in the forward line to.

    Gawn shouldn't worry about ginnivan. Don't even waste a breath on him.

    Got a spray from Ginnivan while in the hands of trainers ..didn’t like it max. Came for him at the bench. Hope he comes out steaming

    And yet, up until 2 weeks ago everything was going great. Is it complacency?

    • 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.
