    Tough loss. 

    Great opportunity however to bring Jefferson in to work in tandem with JVR for the rest of the season. I know there are those who want to keep him in a humidicrib until he's 26...but now's the time to give him a crack.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

     

    I said the same. A stupid decision. Kosi wins it and he can run it forward. No idea why he wasn’t in there to start the last bounce.

    Has he been coughing up goals all year?

    When Disco came on in the last quarter things started to click. Billings should have been the sub. Laurie & Woey should still be playing for Casey. Just not good enough!

    Ladder doesn’t lie. Weren’t not frauds - we’re just not that good.

    We lost one of our best players before the season started, had multiple key players have shocking preseasons, been ravaged by injury, played the kids every game and clearly not got our fitness right.

    Another wasted year.. put in some effort when it suits us… just a typical Melbourne effort.

    As my sister just said, we've had a nearly season. Lost by 5 to Lions, 1 to Carlton and 2 to GWS. Win those and we're top 2. And we've had a year blooding a bunch of youngsters on every line who are now all best 22. We're not far off.

    For the game itself, Clarry much better, really good game, Laurie's best game, 6 score involvements, 3 clearances, used the ball well, let's see it again. 

    Our hot and cold two way running from midfield was a factor though. Our mids need big pre seasons.

    Finals not totally out of sight, but it'll be tough from here with our percentage.

    JVR infringed 10 times without a single free.

    May pushed  in the back on their last goal, everyone but 4 umpires saw and knew it.

    We have not had the rub of the green with frees, injuries and other sides kicking straighter.

    He has been our saving grace this year, against Hogan in his best year ever, and you want him to retire off 1 bad game?

    Good fightback at the end, but you just can't concede four soft goals in five minutes and hope to win a tightly contested match. And Max, not surprisingly, looked cooked in the final quarter.

    A big opportunity missed, unfortunately.

    Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

    Horrid coaching

    Horrible centre bounce work by Gawn and the mids in the last qtr

    That is it, it wasn't a centre bounce as the umpires gave up and threw it up advantage GWS.

    10th on the ladder. Got smacked the week before, cold rainy night. We also haven’t played attractive footy since round 4 2022.

    First 7 minutes of the last in which we conceded 4 goals. Don’t know what was said at 3/4 time, but we sure as hell weren’t switched on.

    We score way too slowly at the business end of games, and concede far too easily when we lapse in concentration.

    Sure we can ramble on about the umpires, but what’s the point? So long as they make games contentious, AFL remains in the headlines. Too many games being influenced by umpiring decisions to be more than a coincidence, and with Dillon saying that umpiring is the best it ever has been, that ain’t changing any time soon.

    Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Big, intensive pre-season starts now for Jeffo, Fullo and Verral - and some mighty good midfield selections. Horrid result - poor team selection with limited confidence to bring the newbies into the play.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.  

    [censored] just look at the tapouts, not on  Oliver at all ... just [censored] ruckwork! GAWN WAS GARBAGE TONIGHT and Again on you Simon!!

    Totally agree. He was good today in horrid conditions at Casey.

    • 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.
