Richmond remind me of us.

Constant poor decisions.

Especially the looping handballs to stationary players.

An almost lazy and over confident style at times.

    He's called "The Wizard" because he can turn certain goals into behinds.

    Just watching Chol, did we even ask the question. Seems to take marks, tackle and score goals everytime I watch a hawthorn game.

    assume we didn’t show interest cos a certain someone hadn’t been suspended yet?

    Time to replay the 2021 GF perhaps 

    Did that but it made me lament the loss of LJ. He was an enormous part of bang bang bang

    wouldn't have made a difference - hawks could absorb the huge salary and there was no way we could do so

    don't forget he was still on big coin from the gc17 contract

    most deals for the end of each year are sorted out 6-18 months prior, really, not during the actual trade week; it's why requests out of the blue like petty to the crom or lachie neale suddenly wanting to go back to flagmantle are less rather than more likely to come to fruition

    i'm not liking hawks renaissance. 

    go tiges

    Hawks are going to be very good I can see them entering the window in 2-3 years time. It’s just not fair how quickly they have come back.

    imagine shushing the crowd in Dusty’s 300th

    Especially after being gifted another ridiculous free kick

    Easily the biggest [censored] in the league

    I am referring to the Wizard by the way

    are you thinking it’s the Yze factor?

    Our recruiting needs to be questioned seeing Chol …yet we get Fullerton who hasn’t played a game after the Grundy disaster, throw in billings, Shache, Hunter & have a trifecta of has beens, that’s not topping up to win another flag , not sure what their strategy is/was, but it reflects the flip flop of Goodwin

    This might be controversial around these parts but it might be time we stop letting Gawn be the final sign off on who we recruit.

    Not sure if Gawn is responsible yeah the Grundy one was but I dare say the others are Lamb, Taylor & Goodwin

    If we recruited Chol he would be on your list of failures. averages just over a goal a game. barely rucks and extremely inconsistent 

    Were you ok with May, Lever, Langdon, Hibberd, Melksham?

    Gee there is no way back in r2 when we thrashed the hawks & kept them to only 5 goals that now we'd be out of the 8 & the hawks would be sitting on equal points with us

    Ffs give it a rest will you?! You’ve made your point oh so many times. This thread is cool because we get to chat while watching other sides play each other. You’re making it uncool with your repetitive slagging off on our team. If you must do that, please take it to a relevant thread. Please!

    Gee just over 92,000. Just goes to show how much dusty is loved and respected.

    Also the hawks are playing well to.

    That's more than what carlton/Collingwood  & carlton/essendon got.

    You absolutely have to give credit to Richmond supporters today. 92,000 is a huge effort, especially given how uncompetitive they've been all season.

    Dusty thanking the fans for coming out & I bet the media turn it into is he saying goodbye.

    Good on Jack riewoldt for snaffling an interview with him. Fox footy would be loving that.

    I respect your opinion but the thread is talking about other games and posters are discussing players etc and our recruiting.

    Exactly! That’s what this thread is for. There’s so many other threads to discuss our Club. It would be awesome if we could keep this thread to NON-MFC as per the thread title. It’s not a big ask.

    Now Sydney are playing. It would be great if we don’t have to keep hearing how dumb we are re JJ and Grundy. Not in this thread anyways.

    • 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.
