Our backline needs to man up on their opponents.

Why does Laurie get selected?

Gee we really only have one really effective midfielder and Moore rammed his knee into his kidneys.

 

Dark days ahead. At least in the Neeld years I had no expectations.

    I’d be looking to move on some value whilst it’s still there. We have good talent coming through in Windsor, Pickett, Howes, Bowey, Rivers and Sparrow. I’d be looking to cash in Petracca. Gawn, Viney and May will slow down. We need to replenish our stocks.

    Keep Petracca, cash in Oliver.

    Nothing to do with it. Sacking coaches is generally a backward step, it's all on the players. Both North and the Suns brought in "star" coaches and the differences are marginal at best. Improvement can only come through the list.

    So who will we pick with pick 4 in the draft. That must have been the shortest dynasty in history.

    You seriously think we can go MORE backward. Am being quite literal.

    No way we are making the 8. Goodwin lost this team weeks ago. Our game style, if you lose the side, it becomes evident. 

    Reminds me of. the Neeld days. Dark days!

    Blow it up, make some hard decisions on the trade table and hit the draft. We're cooked.

    Do we have our first round pick this year?

    Just checked the scores.

    Any chance of a miraculous come from behind win?

    I want to unload on this team. But I’ll hold my tongue. I stopped watching after quarter time and I’m glad I did.

    where was the response? The first 5 mins told me all I needed to know. The season is shot, the window is shut and we will likely be clear dwellers for the next while. 
     

    Id be looking to do a mini reset end of year. Move on players and coaches. Retire a few and look to a new game plan that can flex on contest and ball movement. It’ll take a few years for it take hold and become finals ready. 
     

    All I can say is I’m really disappointed in this club.

    I guess he'll be satisfied only when we become North and win 3 wooden spoons in a row. If you are a serious organisation need to make the hard decisions when necessary, not just wait until it all falls apart.

    I suppose Trac with broken ribs was actually more effective than Billings

    We are playing soft football

    This. 

    Ironically after all the talk from all and sundry that last week's weak effort wasn't acceptable.

    News flash MFC, neither is this.

    Bruise free footy with poor skills thrown in for a laugh.

    The manic play on with errant handballs and a backline that doesn't communicate.

    What a waste of a day watching this tripe.

    As long as Petty gets dropped....oh wait .

    And Maynard hasn't even been tickled.

    Last week was a dark one but today hasn't been much better.

    Perhaps the club won't say anything after today's loss. One can only hope. But they won't. They'll roll out some tripe about something. Spare us please .

    If you can't come out and make a statement against a club that silenced one of our most beloved and best players then forget about anything else.

    2024 season RIP.

    • 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.
