We've had a lot of below par performances. Rivers, Salem, Billings, Howes, Sparrow all average

    Midfield getting owned 


    Too often outnumbered at the contest and second to the ball 

     

    Our midfield is having a shocker. What is going on with our clearances? 
    That is a killer goal to give away from an easy centre clearance 

    Quiet night from Oliver.

    13 touches no marks.

    Viney exactly the same.

    Salo mia.

    No midfield 

    No fwd line.


    We are done

    aside from patches we haven’t played well enough to win

    That's a  handy break now 

    Quiet night from Oliver.

    13 touches no marks.

    Viney exactly the same.

    Salo mia.

    No midfield 

    No fwd line.

    This game is gone.


    Have to say this is the worst team performance this season for mine.

    Players running past the ball far too often.  Players fumbling.  Handballs at players feet.  Rivers playing on and handing it straight back.

    Kicks falling short.  Losing the clearances at CBs and stoppages pretty badly surely?

    It's so dodgy.

    We are in this game purely by grunt and effort. Our skills are sub standard tonight. Along with our handball link play. 

    We're not as close as the scores suggest. They are smacking us in the air, on the ground, and at stoppages. 

    Port is an average good side but they always play their Grand Final against us and we get sucked into their ducking.

    Ridiculous that our best mid tonight is a high half forward

    Lever and our defense have been incredible. To concede I my 10 goals so far from this inside 50 onslaught is admirable. Shame our midfield aren't performing to help dig us out of a hole. Still time here but it's tough going.

    • 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.
