    Petracca a liability todayĀ

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

    Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

    Jv looks a little off, agreed.

    Yes forgot about Sparrow.Ā  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

    Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

    Not sure Petty forward is working. Our key talls look a bit lost and we usually play the 3 key backs.

    Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.Ā  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

    Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.Ā  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

    I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

    They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

    Ā 

    Sydney certainly had more control in that quarter. A small crumbing forward would be handy.Ā 

    good first half. Swans are top 4 team and have the wood on us.Ā 

    keep up the intensity and tidy up kicking and we will win this

    Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

    The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

    Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

    JV's in pretty bad form so far.Ā  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

    P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer.Ā 

    Ā He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

    Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front.Ā

    I donā€™t think Oliver has had the greatest starts to the year but I feel much more confident in his set shot goal kicking.Ā

    Swans looking much better when they stop playing dirty football and just get on with the game. Losing it when they start their dirty, feux tuff guy rubbish.Ā

    And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ 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 clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” 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.Ā  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?

    • 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.
