    I wish Cox and Maynard both do their ACL next week. Trash thug hack footballers. 

    Oh that's very decent of you

    Ordinary performance!

    Made the filth look good!

    Disagreed Bitter, except for the first quarter and patches of the third, Collingwood looked very ordinary

    Even a Jefferson would be a better option than most of our forwards at this stage.

    Melksham going down was a much bigger disaster than we could have imagined.

    T-mac normally kicks those and kozzie panicked twice when he had plenty of time and space to drill those snaps. Poor kicking is poor football.

    Make no mistake though we outplayed them everywhere except where it mattered most. If we don't win next week I'll be surprised. And angry.

    And we'll go into the next match without Brayshaw and probably JVR. 

    Nice while it lasted, but we are not winning it from here even if we do win next week.

    Brayshaw may not play again given his concussion history. 

    Edit: this season

    Well those two players are very low class. I don't want to wish injuries but probably Maynard will be suspended.

    Slow start killed us,we won the game after quarter time.

    Tmac nowhere near this level ATM,i'd drop him for Brodie next week,Maxy forward is a better option than Tmac

    Losing a final with + 32 inside 50’s.

    How is that possible?

    Pies will easily cruise into a GF with a laugher of a home prelim final against Port or GWS. Neither of those sides are going to dominate the obscene amount of territory we did.

    Three finals losses, all significant wins on expected score. It's wasted chances versus luck from the opposition. 
    should have won that by 30+

    Two things:

    - We went with the 2 tall backline which hasn't worked this year.

    - We went with the stagnant, crowded forward line with long balls which hasn't worked this year.

    We reverted to these two things at the worst possible time.

    It hasn't worked and continuously gets out coached in big games. Goodwin is still learning but we are being coached to put ourselves in games to win. McRae could see how they were going to win and that's exactly how they did it. We were lucky to be so close, really. We fought back when it was still open for us but we lost it early

    Surely they'll suspend that Maynard thug.

    Lost brought to you by Goodwin, unfortunately.

    What absolute rubbish! We were all over them for probably 70% of that game. They were just cleaner going inside forward 50 on three occasions in the third quarter, that was the game right there. If you cant see that spirit of that last quarter, then hand your membership back pal. A game of moments, that is all it was. They just took theirs we didn’t. Absolutely nothing to do with the coach.

    Fritsch is not 100%, you can see he is not going full speed around the ground.

    Yes I would expect so.

    As you say it best not to wish injuries

    Beyond frustrating, played like merde yet the game was so tantalising close. Two decent kicks for goal was all that was needed, had enough opportunities last quarter to sink a ship thrice over.

    Line in the MCG turf. Not doing straight sets.

    • 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?

      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.
