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.

Umpires aren't helping not paying holding the ball frees😡

    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

    I’d suggest that was an automatic response to, y’know, having taken the ball over the boundary line.

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

     

    Don’t care. Are you happy with our performance so far? They have not been amazing - spirited yes - but we’ve been sloppy and wasteful. Hand balling to guys under pressure. Fumbles. Guys not sighted all game.

    True. They need to go back to school

    What the fugg is going on with the umpiring fraternity?

    They have completely lost the plot!

    The problem is IMO there are too many of them no consistency. I see no evidence that 4 is proving better 3.

    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.

    I think the whole milestone game as motivation is oversold. Teams just as likely to play poorly imo

    No one could have stopped that

    Not just that but his either lost his man or given to much space on numerous occasions, at least 4 of there marks inside 50 I’d attribute to him

    Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

    Hard to see us going deep into finals dishing up this excrement at this time of year. 

    Not with this forward line

    Very good, sure, but grubby.

    Of course I’m not happy. 
     

    But the modern league is very competitive these days, and even teams who are low on the ladder find pockets of excellent form. I don’t see it as “Demons are being showed-up by duds”

    • 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?

    • 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.
