Mid season draft coming up.

We need to do what Richmond in 2019, years we need to find a diamond in the rough and it has to be an inside mid or a genuine key forward/Ruck.

    That’s 3 games in a row against the Blues that insufficient goal review technology has cost us the match. One day a team will lose a Grand Final as a result of Soviet era tech. 

    I used to sit in and operate a fixed camera for the AFL match day vision (the behind the goals camera) from 14-16 and back then the goal review system (run by Hawkeye) would have an AFL employee or a VFL umpire sitting next to a Hawkeye tech (normally from england).

    And back then they had absolutely no F’ing idea what they were doing or talking about.

    The Hawkeye tech who as there just to play back footage and certain angles for the goal review op would often give his [censored] uneducated view of what he was seeing. It was laughable. I shutter at the tough of who is doing it atm.

    Keep in mind, if it wasn’t a VFL umpire it was just someone from AFL operations who got paid sweet F all extra to do it. Thats the kind of quality we are dealing with here. That was only 10-8 years ago.

    Were our centre stoppage set ups too aggressive in the first quarter? Even when they started putting scores on us, we never really reverted to a defensive set up, and continued to go for the clean break away clearance.

    Whats that? Our midfield got punished? Didn’t see that coming..

    Great show.

    Don't know if I'm fully on board the proud of performance train but fantastic insights as always.

    I didn't think Carlton were horrible for the entire second half either, thought they were pretty much in control with the game on their terms right up until the last 8 mins of the game where maybe the 3 games in 13 days kicked in. Quite often they replied with goals quickly to ours after a lot of hard work and from memory they started at least 2 quarters with goals in the first 30 seconds.

    Proud of the fightback but no doubt in my mind the better team won on the night.

    • 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.
