That Bedford fumble. Little moments matter so much in games like this.

That was the turning point.

Second on the ladder now too.

    Such a predictable garbage ball movement from the half back. Kick long to a pack. Nobody marks. Geelong runs away with it. It’s pathetic. 
    These old [censored] have made us look so second rate tonight

    How many down field frees has Kozzie given for the season

    How many pressure acts by Kozzie have seen kicks smothered or skewed this season?

    Top spot gone after that goal. With Blues, Freo, Lions and Pies to come, it’s going to be tough to finish top two.


    4 goals down, 4 ½ minutes to play - yes, possibly, but extremely unlikely.   Has Clarry been subbed?

    Answer my own question - no

    20 points.   Maybe.  Bridge too far at this time in the 4th

    Gawn came back way too early. Hurt us tonight. 
    Been uncompetitive. 

    Never seemed like a good idea 

    Why do Melb insist on gathering the ball off the ground when under severe pressure when a knock on or quick slap forward might allow your players to run onto it and clear congestion.

    This is most likely our worst all round performance this season IMV given the ins.

    Feels like the bulldogs game last year at a similar time. Looked heavy, fumbly, got close but ran out of legs.

    Lost the contest all night , that’s been the main difference.

    Fumbles and poor forward entries just the icing on the very bitter cake really.

    We are not as good as last year. It’s going to be almost impossible to win.

    And Kosi’s miss

    Awful technique.  Tried to guide it through instead of running in a straight angle and letting the curl of the ball off the boot do the work

    • 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.
