Brilliant win - lack of accuracy stopped it bring an 8 or 9 goal win.

Just want to shine a light on Sam Weideman - what an effort today.

Abysmal umpiring

    It was a good warm up for the avalanche of free against next week at skinny stadium.

    The Weid did his bit today. Was always going to be tough for him

    I’m really enjoying the salty tears of Adelaide fans crying that Lever is soft for going down when hit in the guts. Yet Foggerty ran away like a little scared cat the moment Viney stepped in.

    Sam did good but we miss a ruck. Not just in the contest but around the ground. O’Brien was influential in the air. Weideman needs to find his own niche - what he excels in, and really hone in on it. It’s it’s tackling pressure then so be it try lay 10 plus tackles. Each tackle creates a potential spillage for our mids to mop up. Good effort by us. Up against it and came through with a win. Those games up there are always like this for us.

    Today was the type of win I’d expect. 

    Keep them at arms length, but pull away when required.

    The problem for them was Taylor Walker’s corky. He was the only bloke who could have won the game for them. After his cameo in the first half, he was barely sighted.

    On its day, no one beats our mids. Lots of trios have a mixture of grunt and class. Our three best engine room mids are some of the physically strongest I’ve seen. The Lions of the early ‘00s are the only midfielders who could not get physically pummeled by our blokes.

    Off to Mordor now. Geez I want us to knock them off. The media suckholes are champing at the bit to designate Geelong some type of premiership frontrunner and I don’t want us to give them a reason to.

    Can’t believe not a word from Foxtel commentators on what was probably the worst umpiring performances this season. 
     

    Really happy for Mitch Brown to bag 2 goals, tried hard in the ruck, but way undersized.. Has been a great team man for Melbourne and deserved a bit of reward.

    Clarry just the lazy 13 tackles tonight (on top of his usual ridiculous stats).

    Things you love to see from players AFTER signing a contract.

    I think an official complaint has more merit/power after a win.

    Does anyone know how many of their frees resulted in goals or scoring shots.

    One of the most appalling displays of umpiring I have ever seen and I've been around for a while.  The AFL have tried to make the umps some sort of footy celebrities for TV purposes, but their feel for the game and judgement is just so bad.  In fact, it currently is a blight on the game.  This win tonight is bigger for us than the score would suggest.  We had to beat incredible odds, which were solely down to atrocious umpiring, on Adelaide's turf and we did it with grit and determination.

    That's the Demon spirit, which nobody can deny.  Not even the umpires.   Go you mighty Demons.

    It may be also worth remembering the return game last year, when we beat Adelaide by 41 points

    I care, had a gut full of biased interstate umpiring for the last 30+ years. For a multi million dollar industry it's F'n amateur hour

    23 to 9 frees. That is as corrupt an umpiring exhibition as you will ever see. 

    Adelaide is a hole of town. Their supporters are feral. 

    They can farkl off

    ‘the roar of affirmation’ is real.  Umpires inevitably get sucked in to appeasing the crowd.  It is amazing to witness

    Even the clearly biased commentators were saying how incredible he is. 
    His hands are the best I’ve ever seen.

    Happy with the 4 points so lets move on to next week. I must say it was one of the worst umpiring exhibitions any one is likely to witness. They were a disgrace.

    • 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.
