    Look even more average!

    Yep, correct !!

    Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

    Cant question effort, but need polish 

    We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

    If we don’t win this game it is time for some serious discussions at the club. 

    Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

    Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

    Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

    i know what you mean

    Do we have another gear?

    It's not a motoring show...

     


    If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

    Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

    Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

    Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

    Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

    Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

    The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

    Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

    Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

    Time was about three weeks ago.

    Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

    That was due some time ago.

    I am surprised you didn't notice.

    Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

    We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

    We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

    disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

    Poor choice to play Grundy

    I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

    Grundy is not the answer.

    Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

    Grundy sub (at best)

    This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

    It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

    • 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.
