We kept them to 2 behinds in that final term. We had chances. Friita, sparrow and Pickett all kicking it out on the full. 

Max botching his pass and his shot for goal earlier, Langdon selfishly taking the advantage when he didn't have to in the 3rd quarter. Pickett missing some easy ones.

Trac went missing. Oliver's kicks went nowhere & van Rooyen realised finals is a whole new level

    Yep, there was a potential goal for Kozzy in the 2nd. Fritsch didn't Shepard the defender, touched.

    A goal to.put us back to 10 pts and with momentum change in the 2nd.

    There was one in the first as well.

    He smothered and then put a shoulder into Gus' head.

    Can't wait for the AFL to rule it as him 'protecting himself'.

     

    He might get a week for the head butt on viney not a good look

    I would do it again. Maynard is a serial thug. He lines up players. Same with Cox. Bog ordinary footballers who deserve some of their own medicine back. 

     

    OK, not going to argue but just think wishing potential career ending injuries is a bit too much.

    Hope Gus is OK and able to play in the preliminary

    With so many inside 50’s, Spargo could have been a difference with his smart forward play. He should replace Chandler next week.

    Our bomb it in strategy just has to stop. I believe in this group of coaches but can someone please coach our forwards to lead and our mids to lower the eyes.

    If we’re still doing this rubbish next year serious questions will have to asked. It’s just unacceptable for a finals team to have such a basic forward 50 plan. I know we have players out but it’s been the same strategy when everyone is fit. I’m sick of it. Same old story. Sort it out ffs.

    Gus copping a concussion could also be career ending! 
    Maynard lined up a guy going into open space running full tilt. In a [censored] helmet because he’s had a long history of head injuries. It was a pathetic thug move.

    If Pies can mark those bombs why couldn't we ?

    We certainly  had like 30 more than they did.

    I’ll just leave this here:

    Goodwin: “In finals, your vulnerabilities are exposed”

    Our vulnerability is our ability to score. It’s been our vulnerability for 2 years, and we thought we could fix it with an old forward who hasn’t played AFL footy in months

    I'd bring Spargo and Jordan in

    To be fair we ran out of options. Petty and Melksham going down left us with nothing else. 
    We need to move heaven and earth to get another forward.

    So why do you want Cox to do his ACL?

    • 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.
