Perilously close to a 186 point loss. A couple of misses just now will put the kybosh on that

    Enjoy while it lasts. Would you put money on them not winning a flag by 2029?

    Its the Eagles . They' ll get loads of love from Dillon . Its how the corporate world works. Their supporters  will still turn up because they know.  Will Stkilda win a flag before them?

    i would put my house on them not winning a flag by 2029. 

    this isn’t just a tanking year. they have done major damage to their list. name their good players under 27yo

    theyll get some good kids but all the senior guys leaving in the next couple years will hurt. they haven’t hit bottom yet

    This has been coming for West Coast. I've been surprised their fanbase haven't mutinied already but surely today is the final straw. Simpson out for starters but the whole club is rotten, top to bottom. May they languish for the next decade.

    Their list manager appointments have been atrocious:
    2010 - Craig Vozzo
    2014 - Adrian Battiston
    2016 - Brady Rawlings
    2019 - Darren Glass
    2021 - Rohan O'Brien

    In the last 10 years, 5 appointments. We have had 1 in that time

    Oscar Allen, Reuben Ginbey, Elijah Hewitt off the top of my head.

    And they belatedly appointed a fitness guy (very late in December last year) who had minimal experience and has been in charge of at least 15 soft tissue injuries this year

    Though we have a strong percentage, most of our ladder position rivals still have games against WC. Cant take it for granted it gives us an edge over close rivals and we need to keep winning.

    yep. very light on. Kelly probably under 27 still

    most teams would have a couple of guns and a dozen good players under 27

    What's the significance of 186? The biggest losing margin is still 190 point when we lost to Fitzroy at Waverley in 1979. 

    Regarding Jayden Hunt, did any other clubs make him an offer?

    One of the great things about a 23 game season is that we get to see WC get belted another 9 times.

    I would venture to say there has never been a lower % after 14 rounds ever

    Still don’t understand why we got rid of Hunt. I feel so sorry for him having to live through this garbage. 

    feel for him too. 

    but we got rid of him as he couldn’t perform consistently or reliably.

    Hi dice. As opposed to VFL/AFL combined?

    I guess so. Let's just hope one team, one day, can wipe away both records in one foul swoop

    St Kilda had a % of 39.1……….in the 1900 season 🤣

    I blame the Dees Team Manager for that record loss.

    • 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.
