Was the boo for Zorko due to anything off the ball tonight? Or just cause he’s a little [censored]?

At the ground and didn't see anything specific, I think its just bc he's an awful person.

    They killed us at the stoppages, and we are letting their wide onballers run free. But we are only 14 points down. Need Gawn to stop the big slaps to nowhere, and our mids to get their hands on the ball.

    Folks watching on the TV, is the umpiring appearing very one dimensional to you?

    No

    Raynor's quarter:

    12 disposals

    7 contested possessions

    7 inside 50s

    6 clearances

    2 goal assists

     

     

    Absolutely punishing our lazy mids tonight. He is running off Windsor at will.

    Umpires copping the blame for a shambolic first quarter.

    Wrong. It's the woeful under-performance of most of our players.

    Oliver, van Rooyen, Petty, Windsor and Brown might as well have stayed on holiday in Adelaide.

    Oliver without a touch so far

    Whoever passed him fit needs to be SACKED Clearly not🤮

    Should never have played Oliver. Liability with that finger injury. I can see a 5+ goal loss coming our way. 

    First quarter and we look to be off our game a bit and half a step behind the Lions. Given the amount of time that ball spent in our defensive 50 I am surprised that we are only 2 goals down.

    Brisbane pressure was off the charts in that quarter and we were not clean with the ball in hand. We need to combat Brisbane by stepping up our pressure and putting them back on their heels. and making them think.

    Neale and Rayner causing problems and need to be contained.

    Petty needs to lift. He is playing very poorly at the minute

    we deserve to be losing right now but the umpiring decisions aren't going our way either. they get every 50/50 and we get none.

    Viney and Oliver zero impact is a worry.

    Bbb no touch but to be fair the ball rarely goes inside our fifty.

    Salem down equals an injury every week.

    Need to rally.

    Umps pull your head in.

    You can't play soft, fumbly football and expect to compete.

    Starting to come around for a line forwards or backs cannot cross during play, this is just ruby.

    Fancy the lions serving up slop so far this year and here even hipwood is having a dip. To be fair though we are helping them along. Midfield getting thrashed, defence pretty poor. Sloppy, no marks, lots of passengers.

    Positive? Kolt looks the goods. Great kick to Fritta

    Clarry is a champion. I'm backing him to work his way back into the game.

    • 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.
