Can’t see us coming back from this. 
Disappointing display. We look flat, we can’t win the footy at ground level or in packs or in the air. They’re all over us. 

 

Making a pretty slow and predictable team look very good. We are very flakey against top 4 sides and it's a major concern. Game over. 


Cats +13 in clearances. We’ve been beaten at the source tonight and then they’ve setup better structurally too.

Even if we get up from here, there’s a lot to learn from tonight. Need to improve come finals time.

    Gee we never go near the corridor. Slow boring play 

     

    Well we always have learnings ! WTFTM


    Too many non-contributors, they are cutting us up big time, we have no time or space with the ball.

    We have been massively outplayed this quarter so far.

    Kick a couple to close out the quarter and we might pinch it

    Lot of learnings from this game


    They are all over us

    Throw, We have so many players down. Not shattered if we lose this at that dump of a narrow ground

    We knew it was narrow and even the commentators knew at the start that Geelong would switch it and use the corridor.

    I'm grinding my teeth every time we leave them loose on the far side and then we just kick down the line. 

    It's so stupid and predictable and yet we have not adjusted.

    The cats are not playing that well, they're just using the ground so much better.

    I do think Salem looks slow

    We’re playing with heavy legs and the fumbles. Very few spills have gone our way. The width of the ground is affecting us. We can’t use the breakaway width, the boundary keeps spoiling it. Feels like one of those nights the bounce of the ball has had a huge impact.

    • 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.
