Expected score at half time 33 - 27 our way.

Inaccuracy letting us down again.

Other stats supporting that we have a small edge in a close game, leading tackles, takes inside 50, marks inside 50, contested marks, clearances, and contested possessions.

Collingwood with more disposals - 20 more handballs. 

 

There is a tactical battle with structures, Collingwood trying to get an overlap on the outside, which they then seem to use to cut inboard while we work to man back up. When they get it, they have scored. When we've denied it they have struggled to move the ball threateningly.

Scoring a couple of goals from stoppages early was a real boon for them.

Evenly poised, and it might come down to individual brilliance or team fitness.

    Ok this half we'll kick straight.

    Petracca, smith, Spargo and van Rooyen need to do something.

    3 goals in a half is not great 

    3 Goals and a zillion pionts is shizzen footy

    Lucky to score what game are you watching.

    The one where we have kicked 3 goals in a half, and packed our daks when a score is possible. If that doesn’t change, we’re done. Simples. 


    Have a look at this tweet, we all get excited about the footy but imagine wishing death upon someone fighting a terminal disease

    Should we have bought in Melksham as another scoring option because Spargo and Chandler aren't offering much

    Kozzie needs to stay down and be at the fall of the ball.

    You know………….be a small forward

    Serious rocket.... that shouldve happened after the first attempt.

    Max & Fritta need to have a word or Goodwin.

    How this hasn't been rubbed out of his game after 12 rounds is astounding and a real blight on the forward line coach.

    I have a hunch that we’ll overrun them in the last.

    Why ... you gunna run out and snag a few !!  Fmd.. this lot are throwing it away.

    Just do it Melbourne.. squandering the ball.

    My strong advice is to give up Twitter - it’s a sewer. And, who are these people and who cares?

    Smith is not a forward. But I guess the cupboard is bare unfortunately. So much on young Jvrs shoulders and he's having a quiet one. I'd try and leave Grundy there for the rest of duration. 


    Maynard is a houso thug.

    • 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.
