Free against Gus was wrong. McKay kicked him in the leg. No tackle.

Betchya we don't get one of those gifts in front of goal

    Do you blokes bag the umps every week?

    we were 5-1 up on the frees at one point. Getting a good run

    Playing like this, it doesn't matter where we finish up next week, we'll just be making up numbers. We keep kicking to the wing, but we have hardly anyone who can actually take a mark or kick the goal when they do, and we have Max who doesn't know where the goals are anymore. I hope they have written "buy a good for forward" and a proper forward coach on the whiteboard. 

    The window for "we'll come good" is getting smaller by the second.

    Ugh, what a waste.

    Not sure how Goody can be happy with Max's forward work when he can't finish.

    More of the same that quarter unfortunately.

    No idea what they do at training, but it’s clearly not working on our forward connection. Just so predictable.

    This is going to script for all our losses. Plenty of inside 50s, a lot of effort for not much reward. I predict we'll get overrun in the 2nd half.

    P.S. we are in front 7-4 in free kicks.

    😬

    Surely we run over the top of a team who played interstate last week. 2 days after us

    Max turning his back to goal really irritates me. Fritsch was in space, not the easiest kick to him but he never even saw it.

    There’s no need to pinpoint everything. This might sound counterintuitive but observe what Collingwood did last week. Gain territory and have a bit of confidence in the forwards to get into the right spot.

    Waiting till things get clogged up again will stuff us.

    Frees:  Melbourne 7  Carlton 4.  But let's blame the umps, hey?

    Agreed. The umpiring has been fine. 


    Defence and pressure solid. Good start

    need to inject some flair now


     

    I've said it b4 and will keep doing it

     

     

    Make Kozzie our goal kicking coach.

     

    He can't miss.

    I think we will win this easy. When we've been losing we've been letting oppos score heavily early. We've tightened up defensively all over and will grind them into the ground throughout the game.

     

     

     

     

    Hopefully...

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
