    I hate to say it.  I love JVR, but he's just not there at the moment.  TMac tries his heart out, but I think the game has past him by now.  Ordinary from Clarry and Trac tonight.  We just don't have a functioning forward line.Cover Fritta and we are gone at the moment.

    Yeah he did, my bad

    Oh please, we had just as much to play for as Essendon.

    Good on them for pumping us, we are downhill skiers at the best of times.

    People will agree and disagree, fact is we went out in straight sets last year without a whimper.

    This performance shows me that if a few are off, do others stand up?

    We’ll probably respond next week, then who knows after that.

    It’s Essendon FFS.

    So we're 5 goals down. Those 5 goals we let both there ruckman kick. 

    Good they can stand out in the rain and cop it.

    This has really shown us up. We can either embrace it and change for the better, or just ignorantly paper over the cracks thinking it will all just sort itself out.

    I thought Goodwin had learnt from last year... Maybe we are wrong 🤔

    What about the two our ruckman should have kicked.

    The lack of leadership is the worst part of this game for me. Nobody has stood up today and wanted to really change the state of play. Embarrassing.

    Redman can flop around like an ice skater and get one. Petty gets pile driven into the ground with out the ball and gets [censored] all

    Our players are slung or pushed so many times after   they have kicked the ball.

    Oliver did try to impose himself in the last, too little too late.

    May is worrying at the moment.

    Getting this to under 20 points would be a huge win.

    • 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.
