    Yeah, call me childish but I quite like the start of this one also.

    Why does this thread always turn into  MFC player and coach bashing? 

    Some avoid the postgame threads after a loss and come on here to talk about other games specifically. 

    You watching this Goody?
     

    That’s how you move the ball Goody. 

    Why didn’t we recruit this tall bloke?
    Does my [censored] head in.

    Just got home from being away for the long weekend

    Reading this thread, thinking it might be safe from the des copping grief form their own fans. Alas, not to be.

    DZ's post above was written during the Giants v Pies game, one the Giants went on to smash the Pies (easily could have been more).

    I'll keep reading.

    I wonder if I'll see multiple posts writing the Pies' flag chances off. Because you know, poor loss first round and it curtains and all that.

    Even if it is against a finalist from last year on their home deck in tricky conditions. Reasons = excuses.

    Some equal opportunity hyperbole. 

    Or maybe there might some balanced comments about where the Pies are at?

    Pies looked good enough to suggest they will be thereabouts again - like us their F50 personnel is probably their main weakness

    They will miss McStay as much as we miss Petty. Johnson was disappointing, Cox was just that, Mihocek is slightly better than JVR arguably, Hill is their Pickett and Schultz is very overrated imo, Elliott always asked to play taller than he is, McCreery is ok but no star

    And a football action.

    Surprised Cox didn't jump onto Mummy with a shoulder to the head, given Coll get the green light and all

    Pies defence was terrible. I think some of it can be attributed to being one short there every time Little Nicky goes for a wander upfield. Every turnover and it's extra numbers ahead of the ball for the oppo.

    • 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.
