    We look slower than them and they are supposed to be slow. We don’t have much feel, flow, confidence craft etc at the moment. They tightened up and we started second guessing ourselves. Only one quarter. Much to play out.

     

    Never known a side to squander a lead like this mob. Pathetic to give up 2 goals in the dying seconds of both quarters. Hunter has a post football career as a butcher.

    Opened up like a can of worms.

    Wings are vulnerable.

    Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

    Can't defend the corridor.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    Marks win games.

    Lions 60

    Dees 38

    That ain't good. How many marks the lions have taken in or fwd line compared to us in theirs is poor footy.


    We stumbled pretty bad that qtr and to be fair the lions took their chances. We need to come out red hot and make sure we make the most of our opportunities because it’s looking like that kind of a night, where misses will cost the game.

    Also what is up with our kicks to half forward? I’ve seen at least 5 where they have been ‘directed’, with time, to the chest of a lions player. Total waste.

    Outside the first 10 mins, Lions dominating. 

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down.

    I’d pay big bucks to watch someone cave his skull in. [censored] of a human.

    Brisbane are a good team. We gave it a good shake.

    Petracca 7 goals in a game and a half.

    Frustrating game to watch, need to tighten up on the turnover. Would be nice to see JvR and Brown together in the forward rather than one or the other.

    Lever...one mark.

    They're looking to go through Lever's man whenever they can.

    The pressure has to come from up the field to curb them doing this to the favoured side of his opponent or so often

    And they’re taking really strong contested marks, too! In some cases probably no right to have held onto them, but they have!

    Kozzy is playing like a lost boy out there. Terribly, terribly out of touch.

    Yeah it was a beautiful set shot goal but besides that, In open play, he is totally lost!

    What about marking man on man when they have back 50 ball Goody … it’s not rocket science how they walk out and score all there goals.

    Marking grass is STUPIDITY!!!

    This!!


    Our good looks very good, our bad looks horrible. So many chances with ball in hand, only to kick it to a Lions defender. Great game of footy, but our mistakes could cost us... again. Our poor kicking into F50 has raised its head again

    We need to cover Coleman more quickly. 

    Viney is a weapon

    Outside the first 8-10 minute burst, Lions have dominated. Our small forwards have been seriously poor the past two months. Kozzie looks disinterested and not going at the ball. Spargo jogging round aimlessly. Neither crumbing. Neither defending. We’re getting nothing out of them at present and getting killed on rebound too.

    • 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?
