Why the heck are we playing a defensive, around the boundary line style against the bottom side? Seriously take the bloody game on

    Hopefully we saved the best for last. Hawks turned up the intensity that quarter

    Because we suffer from CAS (corridor aversion syndrome)

    Partly due to no one leading up at the ball since Petty went off?

    Also until Max switched in late, Grundy got smacked in the third in center bounces and we handed all the momentum (via clearances) to the Hawks

    I hear what your saying but surely when you have an undersized forward line, the slow play around the boundary is only going to allow them to flood into our 50, making it near impossible for us to score 


    Subject to fitness, BBB straight in next week if Petty's injured

    Another very solid game from Gus


    So you're allowed to drag the ball under and just sit on it now??  Oh right....only if it's in front of our goals

    Another horribilis for the umps tonight.  What a sham

    Dunstalls commentary (or should I say barracking for the Dawks) is somewhat unfriggin bearable 🤫

    I don’t know what you are taking about

    seems to be even to me

    no irony

    ANB our leading KTF !  :jakovich:

    Another game, exact same old problems.  Skill level & wasted forward connection/composure. Geelong & Collingwood would tear us apart.  One quarter of elite pressure and then couldn't be assed and started back pedalling through the middle.

    Can't really work out who has played well today.  Quite a forgettable one.  Still can't see any improvement from the back end of last year tbh.

    P.S - May has an amazing habit of getting in the right spot but then dropping the mark. 🤔

    • 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.
