Boundary umpire is the dill. 

Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

    Arm wrestle with 16th place. Words you love to hear. 

    Can we PLEASE take control of this after half time and bury these [censored]? They inflicted so much pain on us over the years. It’s not yet time, not even close, that they can return to that. 

    They’re 16th, missing their best mid. No excuses.

    Boundary and goal umpires are having a laugh this weekend.

    Absolutely disgraceful display. Unaccountable green [censored]. 


    Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday.

    Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem).
    It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

    The boundary umpire was right there. Viney was a metre out.

    So glad we have 90 umpires now. They’re all doing such a stellar job đŸ™„

    Kozzie and Chandler need to get busy in the forward line. Just be front and centre at the fall of the ball.

    Absolutely and I won’t mention that boundary umpire. Every time we get tackled, it’s holding the ball and we can’t get one as usual.

    Unfortunately it’s all too common now in big games. 

    60 minutes to show some top 8 level competence otherwise top 4 is slipping away from us. Underwhelming but not unsurprising. 

    Hey all, eyes off the umpires for a second and more onto our crud display. Can't hit the backside of a barn with our disposal right now.

    Arm wrestle with a team who beat the premiership favourites two weeks ago.

    I'm complaining about both thingsÂ đŸ˜ª

    Hawthorn much cleaner, Petracca, Pickett and Oliver really need to lift. Would be worth getting Schache on as our forward line is too small

    Why.. we have no tall forwards to bring the ball to ground

    Other than the opportune goal out the back I'm not sure I've seen Smith

    We need the small forwards to lead to space

    It’s par for the course, Jaded. None of us have the vaguest idea what they’ll do at any time. It’s a complete mess. 
    Meanwhile, we’re playing very poorly.

    He is breaking Jack Dyers rule no.1 don't get where the ball ain't. Ever since he was suspended he has been poor in 90% of games.

    • 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.
