The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.

I think you forgot about the two brilliant goals 

Getting dudded by the umps again with two different interpretations of holding the ball

    Dispose accurately at first option and we win this.

    And as mentioned TWO classic 50 meter penalties against Geelong not paid.

    Dare say we probably need another tall target.

    Yep.... i would play Gawn 80% forward with only 20% in the ruck interchanging with Dogga from here.

    We need a tall target at CHF to straighten us up and get the ball to ground.  Will also upset their spare a little

     

    I've loved Bedford's game over the past few weeks but tonight it's showing he just can't go against the big boys. 

    He'd struggle in finals

    Doing pretty well to be only 4pts behind. We haven’t had momentum all night. Get some control and I reckon we can power away.

    Bowey, Lever & May look a little off the pace tonight

    If we’re within 6 goals at 3QT, we’ve got this

    Steven May very fumbly. Lots of players slipping over. Handballing to team mate 1 metre away under pressure. All these making us look 5 goals down.

    But our main issue is our constant missing a target inside 50 when kicking under little pressure. This has been atrocious. 

    Great game though - two great teams pressuring the carp out of each other.

    Yep. He's miles off the pace in this game.

    Think you might be correct

    Why is Pickett anywhere in the team...wtf does he offer

    May...get off and get some confidence

    Sparrow is an overhyped player by many, he's not AFL level

    Gawn, great to see u back

    Aside from everything else, I’m not sure confidence is found on the other side of removing yourself from a team, mid-match.

    Mate the ball isn’t even hitting the pack, it’s hitting the one cats bloke standing by himself 20m away from the pack!

    Out of how many entries. 


    Less than a kick in it. Was never going to be easy on their home deck. Few tweaks to make at half time and then come home with a wet sail ⛵  go dees

    Why was Bradshaw standing 5m back from the mark?

    • 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.
