Petty, BBB, JVR and Fritta a combined 0 marks between them.

Well Fritsch did have a mark but the Brisbane player illegally chopped his arms.

 

It all comes down to the midfield. We are getting smashed in clearances and contested possessions. That’s the game. 
You can’t blame the forwardline when the midfield is not able to win the ball. 

Embarrassing

Look very flat, 2 hard games with 5 day breaks … not sure why we never  have tall fwds  when the ball is going fwd 

BBB should be deep inside the 50 and trying to attract Harris Andrews attention. Instead we keep hoping that JVR can compete with a veteran Backman.

What's disappointing about that is that he used to clunk everything for Casey.

He's OK when the ball comes in soft but not when it comes in with pace.


Tall key forwards Petty BBB JVR - one solitary disposal to half time.

Add Frittata - 2 disposals between them

Edited by monoccular

2 kicks in total for the half for Brown, Tholstrup, Fritsch, Windsor, vanRooyen, Pettty combined😱

Makes you wonder how Brisbane's midfield can be so superior, but they are killing us! Everything else flows from this.

 

As a team performance this is about as bad as it gets, hardly anyone winning their position can't see us getting out of this

We look tired;  BBB, Petty Billings nothing

 

Shot to bits.

We butchered two attacking thrusts in that last little peroid.

We had them cold and reduced the deficit by a couple of goals.

Terrible football.

No it's his marking technique full stop.

Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

Joeboy. Great stuff. Name names. Running in circles.  JVR has dropped 15 marks in a row.

This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.

Easy shots given.

You may be right. I do know that he can't be dishing up what he has been. Take the damn game on. There's a point in time where we may as well give Jefferson an earlier than expected crack.

I think Norf put up a better fight against them last week. 

We are kicking a score similar to a Hawthorn or North tbh.

The inexperience of our youngsters, Windsor, Howes, JVR and McVee, is showing.
And our experienced forwards, Brown, Petty, Fritter, are out of position when the ball comes in.

Clarrie is obviously hampered by his hand and is pretty much useless tonight. 


Agree we’ve been [censored], but I’m ready to jump the fence and deck one of these useless umpires.

* violence apparently doesn’t solve anything. I might find out later.

And when we win it we give it back. 

 

Did anyone else get the feeling we were talking up our wins in Adelaide too much.

Like we had just one a final.

Clearly we were very happy with these wins 

So much so we have given up on this one 

A very poor performance.

Very poor 

From the top down.

And a shout out to Kozzie...well played sitting on the sidelines.

Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

Was thinking exactly that.

Gotta make a move when absolutely nothing is working up forward.

  • 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.

  • 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.
