Petracca 900k a year, he's got to earn it in finals FFS

Can't kick a goal for peanuts.

We're a serious chance of a straight sets exit

 

Trac has to kick this….misses. Tough kick though

Watch Pettraca miss 


Can we just throw in a towel??

 

Stars major disappointment this game.

Petracca, Oliver and Viney have all been poor. 

We've needed them to stand up and they've failed unfortunately.

Its been a major selection blunder.

The 3rd tall defender was why our defensive system was number 1 in the competition. 

Here I was having faith back on our coaching staff again.

So disappointing 

Extremely disappointing. 

Honestly all I want to see in the last quarter is some [censored] fighting spirit, do it for GUS!!

We won't win today but at least show you care and don't want another straight sets. It's looking like one at the moment.

if we can kick straight we can do this... but we need to play with speed and kick straight, nothing to lose now.

We need 26 to win and we have scored 33 in 3 quarters…

(That’s without the pies kicking a single point in the last quarter mind you)


Watch us start with absolutely no gusto or desire to get this game back on our terms. 
 

So many people off the pace of this game.

Yep and would be 4/4 choke jobs 

no reason why we shouldn’t have been able to win this game and any of the last 3 finals 

What’s up with May? Looks very disgruntled on the Teev… Injured?

Well TMac is cooked. The forward lines are just not up to it. 
Petty and Melksham may well have put us in front

But they are done

 

i Hate the Filth even more than this morning 

I’m an optimist but I give us about a 1% chance here. Awful goal kicking.

Just when I was finally believing in Goodwin. H&A with this list is a non consequential, he needs to show some tools to win us finals.

JvR, McDonald, Smith and Fristch. We've never gone this tall throughout the season.

Meanwhile we've identified we play better with 3 key defenders and to allow lever and may to get their intercept going. So we drop our third defender. 

This was lost at selection.

Get help.  Seriously

If we lose, it's been well and truly lost in the midfield....very sorry for the forwards actually. Backs are working overtime because of the mids too. Just odd. 

3rd 

x 49 inside 50s vs 33!!! 5 goals behind  

x so many chances so many chances 

x Trac is a good player - not great not elite 

x stupid play … may

x stupid taking advantage 

x kozzzy and Trac - kick a goal from 25 metrs out

  • 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.

  • 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.
