Billings has no awareness. his man slipped over when he took the mark but billings wasn't paying attention. He could have played on and had plenty of space in front of him to do so.

i complain about billings every week so you could accuse me of bias. fair enough. but billings is not the answer imo

I don't rate him at all! 

 

Really difficult to watch this. Our kicking and physical intensity have been horrid. Even when we do begin winning contests etc... our kicking for goal (4 of them from within 30 metres) is like country reserves footy. 

Petty has played 1 good game in 5 and the rest he has been invisible

we needed him tonight. not talking just goals but just to compete and hold the ball in

 

Reid is making us look second rate in the midfield. I'll be surprised if we get back from here. The Eagles look better than us today.

    Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him.

    He infuriates me.

    BBB is a very good person and has been  a very good player - but not for the future.

     

    Salem is not a midfielder - his disposal is not as good as it was and he is too slow.

     

    Now is the time for our good players to stand up.

     Billings.  Saints are laughing at us.  He is a spud.  Goalkicking like a dyslexic person at a spelling bee !!!! 

    I think the AFL world are laughing at the Saints

    All the people predicting a 70 point win should do 20 push ups

    Lucky to be only 3 goals down. We can still win this. But certainly don't deserve to

    This is a much worse result than the 2018 prelim IMO. Simply haven’t turned up and we don’t have the cattle to win a flag, or even a final at this rate. Petty, Brown, Billings all cooked. How we can butcher the ball so badly is beyond me. Absolutely gutless and disgraceful effort given the importance of the 4 points. 

    Goody nerds to take our mids after this game and give them a decent kick in the bum.

    Oliver16 disposals 

    Tracca 16 disposals.

    Viney 14 disposals.

    Sparrow 9 disposals ( very low)

    Harley Reid a young kid panting them all.

    This is the third last team.

    Chandler too has gone into a big slump like he did last year.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Yeah, what is the story. I have no faith in Billing's by foot. I don't understand why we traded him.

    If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

    Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

    Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

    Mid table team.

    We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

    This is going to be up there with our loss to Sydney in 1993.


    meth coke will end up winning by 5-7 goals imo

    losing lever in first 5 mins was a blow, but their pace is what is destroying us

    it's a carbon copy of when meth coke knocked off flagmantle; just too quick and reid is a superdooperstar

    Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

    We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

     

    Not enough run in this team.  Too stagnant in general which brings the heat

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
