Petracca, Oliver and Viney will HATE the replay of this game.

And so they should. A lot of below average performances across the ground tonight so far.

That said - It isn't over until the fat lady is singing. She might be warming up her vocal chords, but we aint done yet.

    Haven’t been smashed like this in a while…just have to take the L and move on sadly

    OMc just letting Grundy tap it to their players.  It’s freaking embarrassing this performance.

    No spirit in this team.

     

    The bombing is back Tracc!  Ughhh

    Tomlinson is not AFL standard.

    Would prefer Dan Turner, honestly.

    Gee a lot of people would have had you fooled last week on that one.

    Good god

    people throwing themselves off a cliff

    Top golfers spent 90% of their time not winning

    top tennis players spend 90% of their time winning

    footy = tennis

    This one is in our 10%


     There's losing and then there's getting done like a dinner.

    Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

    Really.  Few players have been played to their usual standards. Brisbane have been more switched on since the first bounce. 
    Agree we are being outplayed and no doubt Max going down has had an impact.

    So if they said they could rule out and then it was, would that be less demoralising?

    It is what it is, and we need to move on regardless.

    And what an absolute piece of excrement is Grant Thomas making those comments.  Just scum.

    Im watching it on Kayo what did grant say?

    Well I do hope that they (all) have a good long look at it, I hope they hate doing so.

    I reckon if Chris Scott coached us he’d have a lot to say about the variability of surfaces and conditions in Queensland versus Victoria in March.

    We won’t say a thing. Good.

    Beaten because we failed to execute the most basic non negotiables of our side. We got destroyed in every area that we generally excel at. Inexcusable. 

    Well yeah, pretty much. 

    But Lions have taken their chances, that's footy I guess.

    Are we at least going to make this an honourable loss. Big difference between drawing this to a couple of goals and a 10 goal loss. Might be a good start winning some clearances.

    No one in this team (or coaches box) is willing to do something to change the game. I don’t care if we turn into the skid, just do something.

    Sorry we are gone worst loss in 10 years!

    Anyone who thinks we are getting thumped because Brisbane are a far superior side, are being very kind. 

    Brisbane look ok. They’re handling the conditions better in the heat which is expected, but we have crapped out pants here. Can’t win a clearance. Losing contested and ground balls. Turning the ball over. The most un-Melbourne performance of the last 3 years.

    There are losses and then there are losses. This is making the Lions look better then they are. 

    The hype around us seriously gets to the players heads and we just turn up, expecting magic to happen. 
     

     


    I have no idea what our midfield has been up to tonight. The fumbles, the 0.5 handballing, but most of all the kicking. How bad have Viney, Brayshaw, Oliver and Petracca been by foot? The long bombs into the F59 remind me of Brent moloney. 

    But in that quarter some of the defensive efforts were insipid.

    I don’t think Grundy has taken a mark

    I do wonder if there’s more to the conditions. I never see Tracc and Oliver find it this hard to maintain control of the ball.

    • 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.
