We look so far off it 

 

Big dopey forwards that love to take pack marks sure do find their way to every single team except Melbourne. And always seem to tear us up.

    Much like against Carlton I feel like we are letting a team that isn't really playing that well to take advantage of their moments. We're very lucky the Eagles aren't 7.0.

    We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

    Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

    If he wasn't ready for AFL level intensity, then don't play him.

    Cupboard was bare dude. Back your players. Rubbishing a first gamer is poor form.

    Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.


    Someone give a Clarry a rocket. Or a hug. Whatever works. Just get him to wake up please. We’re getting killed.

    It's nothing against him, this is on the selection. I was also not that sure we had to rush Salem so we'll see.

    Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

    Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

    We are allowing them the moments to shine

    Perhaps the umpires should see how he is manhandled!

    Low energy and premiership window rattling.


    Pathetic attitude not turning up ready to go from the opening bounce.

    We are on the back foot right from the start of most games. How about a little bit of proactivity?

    It’s a long game, and I’m very patient, but this quarter was simply not good enough. To be smashed in the contest against a bottom 4 team is unacceptable. 

    I understand we are trying to change the way we play, by being more attacking off half back, but we seem to have completely lost our strength in contest and clearance. 
    May without Lever is also a concern. Waterman all over him.

    To the ‘we will/must win this by 6-7 goals, minimum’ crew - is that still the projected margin?

    We’re being embarrassed here. Should be down by more. 

    Every single team thinks they can beat us, and there’s a reason for that. Here it is. We have our moments, no doubt, and our best can beat anybody, but we don’t do it often enough anymore, and there are far too many threatening teams on the up. Really sad actually.

    • 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.
