Result is probably not going to change much about where we are at as a team. The lack of intensity perfectly encapsulated in Brayshaw taking 17 seconds to try and dispose of the ball while deep in defence. 29 tackles to 44. It might be that we are simply an overrated team, but our lack of real fight is the bigger blight.

    As much as Brayshaw needs a rocket up his [censored], that free kick against was Blatent cheating

    Damn frustrating game to watch with the performance of the umps and our dreadful disposal.

    backs look better with Lever there but they are suffering from the same as the rest of the team because of the Tiger's pressure their disposals are off. 

    No forward line to speak of. Very dysfunctional. let's try playing an experienced forward sometimes soon.

    Mids.... so many superstars and so very little results at the center bounces. Who is our midfield coach?? 

    Work harder at the basics, bring pressure and  look to secure and keep the ball.

     

    We can win this.

    Mate they ain't superstars even if they are very good.

    Superstars always give you the goods 

    Strange game where Ed Langdon comfortably leads our tackle count!?!

     

    An absolute bin diesel of a performance. I cannot for the life of me believe we are 2 points down, we are not playing at the level required to win this football game. Richmond are still the better side tonight and we need a champion effort in the last quarter. Champion teams have 3 bad quarters then do what needs to be done to win the game.

    The challenge is set Demons, rise to it.

    Another game where we're getting beaten in contested possessions so far.

    Worst umpiring I have seen  so one way against us

    It's not just the soft ones paid to tigers, it's the myriad to us totally ignored.

    But we are still in it and seem faster than tigers now.

    Umpire #20 needs to go and get absolutely [censored]

    I have never wanted to punch a [censored] umpire so much in my life. I wish him the spiciest diarrhea. 

    Didn't he also umpire us last week? Wikipedia tells me his name is Brian Hay and he's umpired 79 games.  Don't know how to find details of previous week's umpiring but it all feels a bit familiar...

    Are people paying attention to Richmond's effort?

    Hate to say it, but Pickett isn’t playing for the team. 

    Correct.


    We need Brodie, JVR & Harry to have a big last quarters.

    Max looks knackered.

    Umpiring aside...

    I have not been up off my chair yelling at the screen since the 2021 GF, but this time it incredulous fury. It is simply not possible for a squad with this talent to make so many fundamental football errors, both in decision making AND skill. It looks like 2012/2013 /2014 team. 

    And as for those pathetic, "get-rid-of-the-ball-quickly" handballs that go 50 cms, or the loopy one over the top so 2 Richmond players can cause physical pressure or damage, can't the on-field leadership correct that?

    Something not right with May I feel. So far off his normal self. Lever rusty but better that term.

    Petty not really a forward, doesn't have the craft, and with JVR outpointed by someone bigger/stronger/more experienced, forward line is only just functioning.

    Someone needs to pull him aside and tell him he ain't Jeremy Howe.

    Lever with 1 hand casually misses the ball. Facepalm.

    • 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?

    • 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.
