Carlton fans are just horrible, replacing essendon in the top three of the worst fan bases in the league?? 

The absolute moron behind me getting stuck into ANB for acting after being hit post kick. Mate he got hit while off balance, he has every right to fall over you absolute clown 🫣

 
 

After our straight sets failure in finals in the past two seasons, and regular poor efforts after short breaks I question our resilience to mount a fair dinkum finals campaign.

We are non existent in midfield playing horribly but how about the umps do their job.

Trac was held in the F50 again no free, Rivers had his head ripped off with 40 seconds to go, no free.

AFL working their magic again.

McVee please enough with the kicks at ground level inside our 50, very silly football. 

We should be 3 to 4 goals down.
Umpiring is disgraceful.
I still think we're in this. It will get close and then the maggots will kick in to get the baggers home.

That was an absolute snipe to the guts, if anything the carlton player should be getting heckled by dees fan not the other way round. The lack of intelligence on display by these morons beggars belief. 

Is Pickett the worst wet weather small player around? Just never gets near it when it’s wet.


Absolutely insipid half from Melbourne. Smashed in contested possession, smashed in uncontested, not effective enough with the ball, outcoached, outplanned. 

We have not at any point had the game on our terms. No, even when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

What do you want me to do? 

A very disappointing midfield display and the entries going inside 50 are an absolute mess. 
We can still win this, make no mistake, but we need to start dominating the midfield and get some easier entries going forward. 

Leave Trac forward

Leave Pickett in the midfield 

Instruct Billing to never again kick the ball 

Bring on Woey and tell him to fill the hole everytime

And wet weather footy. Remember our putrid wet weather footy in 2020 against bottom of the ladder teams in Sydney and Fremantle, costed us finals.

Ditto 2022... 2023...

Walsh is running riot against us. Got no answer for him

It shows what Windsor will do for us in a few years time. For now. It exposes Oliver lack of fitness. 


More drizzle coming. Going to be a wonderful night

Our lack of finding kpp fwds will continue to haunt us… not sure what’s happened to our premiership mids

Edited by Demonsone

We can get back into it but we need a sustained period of winning footy. Carlton have been excellent in the middle and I don't see them suddenly slowing down in there.

Why’s that not fifty? He hit the ball. Why the [censored] are the rules even written down

Hollands hits the ball away. Nothing. 
 

Rivers hit in the head. Nothing. 
 

Rivers smashed in contest. Nothing. 
 

Viney tackled and gets rushed kick. Free to blues. 
 

Martin in contested marking. Free kick to blues. 
 

Curnow skill error. Out of bounds. Nothing. 
 

Cripps throws the footy.  Nothing. 
 

its criminal.  Umps are clearly instructed to favour Carlton.  Clearly.

He always runs riot against us.

We would’ve been in a prelim last year if it wasn’t for his heroics.

Clock him one.

 

It’s like Voss can read Goodwins mind?

They have an answer to everything we’re doing.

Honestly this is one of the most horrific umpiring displays I have ever seen 

Yes, you would swear that their superannuation has just received a boost.

However, Hanlon’s razor is probably at work:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
