Take a bow Simon Goodwin. Pandering to Luke  Jackson by playing him as first ruck. He is not a first ruck and Max is not  a forward. Cost us 3 easy goals tonight and the game.

    Premiership is firmly on Collingwood's sights now. Top 2 very much on the agenda, pretend all you want. This is happening

    Cheating [censored] [censored] in yellow absolutely garbage.

    Multiple gifts from free kicks in Collingwood I50 from ridiculous calls.

    All over the ground just inconsistent decisions.

    [censored] that [censored].

    They definitely got all the 50/50 calls in the last but it's the FORWARD LINE folks.

    Is Joel Smith the saviour?

    Furious, absolutely furious with that loss. We have too much class to be kicking and handballing like that. 

    Atrocious games from Kozzie, ANB, Spargo, Hibberd, and Jackson. Kozzie in particular fumbled, ran over the ball, flew when he should have stayed down and played an all round shocker. 

    The old Dees habit of handballing under pressure to a team mate who is under more pressure. That one from Hibberd to Viney in the Pies forward line - unforgiveable. It happened all night.

    We canNOT keep kicking our forward 50 entries into the pocket. EVERY time, even when we have short options. 

    My rage hasn't settled yet. Really grumpy right now.

    One trick pony got the job done.

    We knew exactly what they’d try to do and we let them do it. We’re a defensive team who can’t win a shootout, yet we let the game unfold that way anyway.

    This was a supremely disappointing effort from the coaching group. They’ve got work to do now as top two is likely gone. 

    [censored] what a let down.

    Petracca picks and chooses when he wants to show up, 2nd worse game I've seen him play behind the Freo loss. Gawn terrible, ANB an absolute momentum killer, Koz anonymous, the entire back seven were terrible tonight. Definitely not going back to back this year.

    Three goals in a half of footy isn't going to win you much.

    If we could fix our forward half game we’d be unstoppable!

    Just so much wasted effort for such a poor return.

    Don't blame the umpires.  We didn't take our chances and they did and we were outplayed.  

    Losing to this mob is always the bitterest pill to swallow.  Goodnight all.

    Shame on coaches.  They can’t and have not learnt after weeks of seeing pies how to close them down.  Our mob can’t kick straight to save themselves.

    A fit Joel Smith would have been very handy over Hibberd tonight. And I suspect he's (Smith) moving on at year's end. That's a gap to fill.

    That was the most painful loss I can remember in a long time.

    If Max kicks straight we win and he's probably BOG

    Should have been six in front at half time

    Hard for Demons to get a free second half

    Pies probably got 6 or 7 goals from frees

    the last to Johnson unbelievably soft

    Kozzy, why did you have to kill the momentum?

    What happened to our mid field in the 2nd half?

    We are missing Tom Mac. Equally, it's the way that the ball is coming in.

    Watching Ben Brown, it was nice to reminisce and think of Iron Hands Dawes.

    We have so many problems going forward at the moment. We really should give JVR a go. We're not going to win a flag at the moment unless we change our forward structure and our crappy F50 kick into the pocket entries.

    It was the Dogs game all over again.

    I chucked money on the pies at half time at $5.40. it feels very ordinary collecting.

    Would love to know where our contest and defence were tonight, coz they weren’t at the G.

    Meanwhile Goody is on the bench wondering why our broken system isn’t working. Do something about it.

    • 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.
