Two weeks in a row Ben Brown can barely give a bloody contest. Genuinely soft efforts for such a big guy.

Not soft at all - just physically knackered tonight.

6 disposals between Fritsch JVR BBB Petty - will never ever win this way,

They look mentally tired.

Probably from all the media interviews singing about our Adelaide efforts. Well that was then.

Max is gone 

One mark.

A sad barometer.

    Another solid prior opportunity 

    When they tackle we can’t dispose of it and are caught holding the ball. 
     

    When we tackle they dispose of it with ease.

    Umpiring has to be clear direction from their coaches

    To paraphrase Paul Keating - is this the thrashing we had to have???

    Questions will be asked. 

    So at half time.... 5 goals down.  You CANNOT play the usual spare behind the ball.

    I hope Goodwin changed this structural aspect up at half time so we have even numbers at all stoppages.

    Cause we've been getting smashed around stoppages (among other areas!)


    Without question every single time this club talks itself up we lose the Next game.

    Every time 

    Can we please top media interviews.

    Oh yeah three quarters and Petty still hasn't touched it.

    Not great.

    And can we please give Kozzie another week off.

    He is not a team player.

    He's a star but he's selfish and unreliable.

     

    Not our year. In 2021 we beat all contenders. We’re just pretenders this year.

    • 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.
