I think for the most part there is a lot of accuracy here. For me Anb was pretty good.sparrow had an absolute shocking first half whic made his night less than average. Petracca a little similiar same but incredible second half.

Which makes it all so frustrating tgat we lost by 7 points. 

Half a game by way too many and the usual rubbish kicking into 50 and at goals as well.

Maybe one day we will come out with some intent from the start and make it easier for ourselves.

Imagine if we played well all night.

We'd probably be in a gf this year.

Now just like our catch up footy we've played all year, it's catch up finals.

Of all nights for Jv to go missing this one was a bummer . But he's been incredible all year. I don't think Sparrow will ever really make it. Shows some glimpses . Chandler even less so. Kozzie is way too hot and cold. Salem is lost or sick. Lever spends too much time directing others. Laurie was a huge coaching error. Tmac well in by default.  Hopefully will retire. Langdon has done little this year. 

Congrats to May, Max, and Bowey who kept us in it. I would mention Trac but there is something wrong with him lately. He's clearly a champion with 32 touches. But about 75 percent of them came in the 2nd half. Too late. It's been a strange pattern for some time now and difficult to understand why. 

I guess the upside is we almost beat the minor premiers with only a few playing their best. 

 

Ditto … agree with 98% of this…agree with the frustration and anger and disappointment

agree on post except I’m still onboard with Tom Sparrow.

    Sparrow has always reminded me of another CP.He hasn't really developed enough for me. Love his strength but he does seem to drift in and out of games.

    Guess we are all very disappointed.  Even with our shocking run of fwd injuries we did enough to beat the filth but poor kicking once again was tge main culprit. Hard to swallow that one out of bounds and a behind to be goals and we are in a prelim. And pretty much from so many who played below their  best.  So close but so far. 

    It's a hard game and a reminder of why we took 57 years. They don't come easy.

    Langdon takes the easy out option now and he doing it more and more.

    Could have drafted Sidebottom but chose another player He has elite kicking skills and is a goal kicker

    And we have down for so so long.  Finally have probably the best or equal best team in the league. This is our chance. Our time. 

    2021 yes yes yes.  🏆

    2022 somehow slipped away with 2 home finals lost somehow !!! 

    2023 still in it but seeing it slip away again. Injuries? Static play? Boring strategy? Boring coaching? No forward line strategy ? Skills not being fixed? We want the Gold.

    Wingers.  Soft as butter

    Sometimes in high pressure finals, you need to put your head over the ball not continuously run past it

    Langdon & Hunter we’re both guilty of this

    • 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.
