    Can’t mark, can’t man up, can’t stick a tackle…so frustrating to watch

    Another poor quarter. We’re yet to find our rhythm against any decent teams yet this year. Still plenty of time to get going tonight, but we need to adjust to the wet conditions. We’re fumbling the ball and slipping over and getting sucked into the contest. As soon as one port player wins the ball and flicks it outside the inner ring, they’ve got numbers and take off while we’re left flat footed. They’re basically doing to us what we perfected in 2021.

    Concerning signs. Defence under seige that quarter. Port midfield using short kicks and handle through the corridor is killing us. We are also second to the ball a lot


    6 marks inside 50 and they were all completely uncontested and in paddocks. We're very lucky it started raining when it did.

    They are not going to win this, totally lacklustre quarter of footy, why do we keep going back to McDonald

    Don't get the hate,  was a free kick

    Correct. Kosi and Spargo got them all the time.

    If port players are going to duck, they can complain when they have their heads pulled off.

    # free goals.

    The bad Melbourne turned up… it’s always clear in the first quarter which version showed up, and this feels like the one where I stop watching about half time…

    They're cutting us to shreds off half back

    Follow the recipe to beat us

    Pressure up on the midfielders, and in the contest, back their skills through the front of the contest

    Our guys fumble, and loose checking means they walk our the front side and find a unmanned target


    Melbourne not contesting

    I mentioned I was worried about us going in to this game soft vs port having won games against better opposition. And here we are, playing exactly like a team who hasn’t really been tested. False confidence.

    3 quarters to go but our only goal has been from a 50m penalty. Not inspiring.

    Is the ball just coming in quick our does our backline look useless at the moment?

    • 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.
