We'll take the 4 points but , sorry to say it , that was [censored] woeful !!!

I lost count of turnovers at about 500.

We must do better than that !

Yes, the turnovers were cruelling when these did not have to be ... the Dees allowed themselves to be hurried searching for spacemakers that never penetrated. Disco put in a good game - very handy with his ground coverage when it mattered. Well fought, Dees ... but it could have been a very prominent 'walkover' with a bit more thought and effort. Not too sure that Petty is 100% - he should be contributing more in terms of effective possessions and disposals.

    I did think max was best over all of the 4 quarter. After half time he had a few more contributors to help him, but the hurst half was his

    Interesting Kozzie saying they worked their “@%$3” off at training. 
     

    Fatigue looked like a feature of the game. Looking forward to seeing them run ON TOP of the grass.

    - Petty to return to the back line were he belongs and contributes.

    - BBB back forward 

    - tmac out of the team

    - Young Woey back to Casey

    - Trac, Oliver,  Viney need a big week next week, playing well below par

    Disco’s goal celebrations the highlight of the night for me. Fritta agrees 100%

    Pros: 4 points, Disco! BOG by a country mile. The kids, generally. 

    Cons: Lots of our stars quiet/sloppy. Too many turnovers. Not saying we will lose against the cats/blues, but if we play like that, we will. Need to sharpen up. Quick. Oh and Petty, the poor man’s Disco. WOG by a mile. Off to Casey pls.

    Not very convincing but 4 pts, go Dees

    Happy for Disco but that was a porridge game to watch.

    Im not sure whats happened in the last 2 weeks.

     

    That was swill that game.

    How we won by doubling their score I'm sure I'll never know.

    From the get go, kicking out on the full, missing set shots, kicking straight to Richmond player without any pressure on the kicker and worst of all the majority of our hand balls didn't go anywhere .

    I'm sure we couldn't have played more poorly.

    In the end we banged through some goals with better connection but there was still some sloppiness.

    How poor are poor Richmond.

    Petty out for sure.

    Sparrow too.

    I seriously think that was one of our worst efforts in at least  the last five years. Next week we play an unbeaten Geelong. We are in for a tough time.

    Fair dinkum, not invested, that's why he got crunched going back into a pack.

    Everyone else, repeat after me 1,2,3, We trust the match committee- Turner was a great selection.

    A good scoreboard, considering the number of passengers we had: Petty, Chandler, JVR, Sparrow.

    Trac was fumbly. Clarrie and Viney were below their best. Fortunately Disco, Maxy, Rick and Maysie were on song.

    How did Turner not win the medal?

    BOG by the length of a BBB run-up

     

    take a bow son.

    He's like another Nev Jetta. 

    I can see a rock solid player, swingman with this bloke.

    Lever post match interview "worst kicking I think I've ever seen before half time"

    At least we straightened up in the end.

    El, to be honest, he lost me with the interview he gave at the Golf Course with Adelaide mates. That might be just me but I probably now view him from a negative standpoint.

    He also doesn't appear to carry injury as well as others (of course, that's again me as just an onlooker).

    But if he doesn't buy in, why play him? He's not the same bloke from our Premiership year. He's marking time. Hope I'm wrong.

    Got the win but gees. We're gonna get smashed by Carlton and Geelong if we don't get out act together. So many mistakes. Relying too much on too few.

    Players come in and out of form at stages.  It's a long season.

    But to have this many out of form, especially through the middle.  We simply have to get two out of the three amigos back to their best to have any chance against the Cats.

    Then there's Petty.  He simply must take a spell at Casey to try and gain some match fitness and form.

    At this stage i'd also look to bring Sestan in for Sparrow.  He probably isn't quite ready for a four quarter match but could come in as the sub with Laurie brought in to the interchange.

    Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him

    If Shai Bolton got injured Richmond would well finish 18th this year.

    Disgraceful disposal. We made them look okay. 4 points is good but play like that next week and we will get done badly.

    • 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 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.
