    worst quarter of footy from us in a long time. beaten around the ball, dodgy disposal and poor goal kicking. plenty to think about at half time

    Hopefully run it out better than them, tidy up the skills and we should get some more looks at goal.

    Really only behind by that double umpiring howler of Harris getting her head taken off in a marking contest then giving them a shot for goal from the square. 

    correction: on replay it was Campbell not Harris

    Premiership hangover. We are not defending well and panicky in forward line. Oh and another supply of poor kicking. Get our act together in 2nd half and beat this mob who apart froma couple of players are not that good.

    3 women at the half-time 'desk'.

    It's a world of promise.

    We have a great system and a strong team. Hore, Paxman, Harris and Macklin (the red headed defender) and Mithen doing well. The Pies gut running to the next contest is impressive. Our tackling is 2nd rate (maybe even 3rd rate). Our field kicking has been atrocious. 

    And can the commentators stop going on about the Collingwood captain - please!  She is a great player and looks a cut above everyone else on the field,  but the commentator-love is vomit inducing.

    Gay, Goldy and Birch have all been really bad across half back. Haven’t won many contests and barely halving many. 

    Unusual given that’s often one of our strengths

    Maybe not sophisticated but pretty committed!

    • 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.
