Need a little bit of schadenfreude after that so @Lucifers Hero what are they saying at Westlakes?

Relatively measured responses.  Selections from the early pages:

  • good: top 6 pick
  • Ugly:The green [censored] giving Melbourne free goals
  • 6.13 at three quarter time.  Bad kicking is bad football
  • Play away, look like s**t for periods, play like millionaires for parts, either get in front early and choke, or come from behind and still fall short.   Sick of it.
  • I thought we'd get smacked today. That game sums us up really - poor at the crunch (when it counts), pretty good when not expected to be/allowed to be, ultimately not good enough. Season ended this time two weeks ago - play the kids.
  • Although we lost and had shocking accuracy. We didn’t give up and fought to the death. That’s something to be proud of. We’ve lost by under a goal to Pies and Dees at the G.
  • Umpiring. F me. They throw..., the most simple open blatant obvious holding the balls, no whistle…, they call the block on Sloane…, that 50m penalty with the late whistle and crouch played on straight away was extremely harsh.
  • Which moron didn't pick Nankervis until now?
  • There is absolutely no way that Poort Pear can win a GF against a Melbourne team with those umpires. They have to pray for a Brisbane Pear GF.
  • I just love Tex. Deserves a premiership for the way he goes about it. He’s our Buckley. Legend with nothing to show for it.
  • Been the same story most of the year. We've got as much guts, heart, grit, whatever you want to call it as you could hope for from any team. But my god we lack class and polish.
  • A lot more good than bad.
  • Viney’s free kick that was paid against Worrell is just about the worst free kick ever paid.
  • s**t mids always making it hard for our forwards.. although our forwards shouldve converted their chances.
  • Finals are done. Get games into the future and let's finally get a decent mid in the draft.
  • Midfield did okay today but not the future of the club. Bare in mind they played Petracca mostly forward and as soon as he went in there late he won it and set up Gawn for the sealer.

My favourites:

  • AI umpiring can't come quick enough. Get the cheats out of the game.
  •  I really appreciate your commentary on the couple of minutes you bothered to watch.

 

When we were 30+ pts up I thought my prediction of about 40pts would be on the money.  Not to be.  They fought it out very well. 

We got the 4pts, consolidated 4th spot on the ladder, have ND4 in the bag so all in all a successful weekend!!

    Twitter is absolutely awash with how Melbourne cheated and the umpires are biased towards us.  Obviously they missed the "touched" goal that wasn't touched, or the deliberate out of bounds paid against Melbourne that was done by the Crows.

    In doing these threads I've found every club complains about the umpires. 

    ...Even Bulldogs supporters complain...go figure...even when they win the free kick count by some margin...

    I was livid in my loungeroom re that "touched" goal... Even my darling ( magpie ) wife was aghast....agog...and downright confused...    ..  

    I've lived in S.A.    they're parochial beyond  the pale.

    Westlakes should probably move on now. Beat the Suns in  game you should win and impress the previous week's opposition fans.

    I still haven't forgiven the umpires for the non deliberate OOB at Adelaide oval in 2021. (But I suppose all ended well)

    @Lucifers Hero I think we need a separate “what are they saying at Fremantle” thread with all the melts over their season and lack of draft picks.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
