    Shizen coaching again from Goody to bring on Kynan Brown in the 95th minute of extra time

    Hopefully this loss gives him the confidence to finally release the shackles given the season is done

    We did not deserve to lose that.

    What can you say...

    Missing those easy, yes easy set shots came back to bite us.  As a whole the pressure and effort was what we wanted all night.  But gee, Petty and Langdon, but more Petty as he is a key forward.   Take some bloody goal kicking lesson and practice.

    Second week in a row goalesss in the last.

    Smashed them in contested possessions and tackles but couldn’t win the free kick count.

    Go defensive and we look toothless who would have thought

    I know this will fall on deaf ears right now, but that was a cracking game. Both teams had so many missed opportunities. 

    We had so many young players, we were always going to fade late. 

    Disappointed with the result but proud of the team. Lots to work on though and a few clear gaps still in the list.

    Vent away demonlanders!

    Good effort, lucky Lions missed some easy one, like our endeavour, but we lost.

    Good tackling, great 2nd quarter, great pressure. But yet again, when it mattered, when the game was to be won, set shots were missed, silly free kicks were given away and we couldn't kick straight to win the game.

    We're close but no cigar...

    Viney, Oliver, Koz, May, TMac, Tholstrup all good. The rest not so good. 

    stopped dead in the last, no gas. 

    Season done, but we’re not far off.

    Umpires [censored] disgraceful. 

    Lions, bunch of massive [censored]. Won’t win anything.

    Edit: AMW also good

    Well we gave it a decent crack, ran out of legs again though. Something is seriously wrong with our fitness program we have looked gassed in final quarters all season.

    Cannot fault the endeavour though, happy with the way they attacked and pressured.

    I really like the look of Kolt and AMW was good in his debut. Viney back to his bullocking best and Kozzie was electric.

    I do not u derstand why Brown wasn't brought in for some fresh legs especially when we looked so cooked. Did we forget we had a sub? What's the bet he gets dropped next week.

    Hurts so bad.

    Can't fault the effort tonight, that performance will beat most teams. Just ran out of puff.

    Proud effort.

    Don’t blame the umpires. Look at Langdon and Petty missing straight forward shots. Look at the forward coach and our inability to score in last quarters. Changes need to happen because we are not up to it

    This was poor coaching in the last quarter by the coaches talk about just letting the lions remain loose so badly, a game we should have won.

    Thought we'd lose the game by 6-8 goals.

    Ended up shaking and nervous in the final minutes.

    Some fellas stepped up that game yes we missed a few, but Brisbane had a few peanut brain moments in the forward line as well. 

    Little unlucky the May mark on the wing wasn't called.

    Also did Rivers run too far?

    Really disappointing last quarter, lost our dare and tried to play too safe, then missed the chances we did get. Only needed to kick one goal and couldn't do that

    Can't really complain though, Lions were far worse and coughed up two dead set sitters in the final quarter as well.

    • 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?

      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.
