Gawn - useless against mediocrity 

Petracca - tried but ineffective 

Oliver - season worst game

Viney - had no influence 

Neal-Bullen - nothing after first

Harmes - mediocre at best

Brayshaw - gave little drive

Petty - season worst game

Salem - lost all composure 

Hunt - not required standard 

Jackson - counted his money

Langdon - disposal was amateurish 

May - not his fault

Lever - poor under pressure 

Brown - an embarrassing performance 

Pickett - important but undisciplined 

Melksham - another inept display 

Sparrow - was he playing?

Fritsch - unsighted second half

Melbourne - Typical Melbourne Choke

 

Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney/ANB/Petracca/Gawn - Brave

Petty & May : Damage done on way down but Brave

Lever : Truth is a defence in a Libel suit.

Sparrow/Rivers : work on skills

Salem : NQR (Physically)

Spargo /Kossie: increase involvement

Hibberd/Melsham : Buy a watch (Their time has come)

Jackson : not our worry it seems

Brown : needs another forward


Melbourne: Completely wasted year

Petty was our best player imo. spargo gave us  nothing 

I love the joeboy 3 words every week, so I won't criticise, I'll just give an alternative and completely fail at the three word part:

Gawn - hampered, tried, taps still sucked

Petracca - hampered, still a gun, moments of brilliance

Oliver - tagged out of it, dug the terminator eye

Viney - as joeboy said, had no influence

Neal-Bullen - good first quarter, then standard nibbler

Harmes - good overhead, but in the wrong place too often

Brayshaw - one of the few contested winners for the night

Petty - my man, superhero effort

Salem - why can't he kick anymore?

Hunt - missing too often, not a great defender, not enough drive

Jackson - love him, but was wearing Chris Dawes gloves tonight (I also love Chris Dawes)

Langdon - tried, honestly was decent

May - just a gun, spent all day angry at his teammates though, wasn't the defence's fault, guy needs to chill

Lever - 50/50 game

Brown - yeah, that was pretty bad

Pickett - love him, one of the few highlights for us, constantly dangerous

Melksham - garbage

Sparrow - just horrendous

Fritsch - gave no pressure, reliable set-shot, unwilling to put his body on the line, disappointing overall

Hibberd - was ok, couldn't expect miracles with the rest of the mess

Rivers - messed up pretty much every opportunity, but he'll be better next year

Spargo - too slow, can't kick 30m, not enough pressure, missed opportunities

team overall - not enough pressure, too conservative, hella banged up

coaching - what the hell is our attacking structure? We're so conservative that we're unable to score, reliant entirely on moments of brilliance from Kossy, Oliver or Petracca. Way too focused on not being scored against that we're completely unable to move it forward. Horrible to watch all year, even when we were winning. Sort it out. Lots to work on over summer.

Don’t use tht phrase. Annoys me no end. What on earth makes winning the premiership last year any different, other.than the disappointment of diehard fans not being able to attend? Finals played in front of crowds. Full length games. I really hate this notion that last year was some sort of undeserved premiership. 

Spargo and Melksham

TOLD YOU SO!

It was 1000% deserved but it plain sucks that they won a flag when we couldn’t see it. 

And then a year later we get dished up a woeful finals series at our home.

Poor @ MCG

Yeah I agree, was using it in jest, but also to highlight the rubbish that gawn and co continually spewed earlier in the year about the drive to win it in front of the fans.

  • 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.

  • 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.
