In terms of personnel available is there anyone we can bring in at the moment or is it a case of moving deck chairs on the titanic?

    There were supposedly rumours about May and Lever being injured prior to the game.

    Does the panel think we’ve got any players carrying injuries into games (circa 2022) other than perhaps Max Gawn?

    It seems to be this part of the season where so many players are carrying niggles or injuries they can play through but must remedy at the close of the season. 

    I'm not convinced Max was 100% fit. We obviously rushed him back due to the predicament that we find ourselves in but Max clearly was not over his injury and it showed.

    Our disposal efficiency in this game was just putrid. Our handling of the ball, possibly due to the conditions, was also subpar. After the first quarter I thought the Giants adjusted to the conditions much better than we did. They handled the ball better, knocked it better and used it quickly and efficiently.

    We just could not handle the ball well and when we did we could not move it on quickly and slow played and either kicked to a contest or directly to an opposition player.

    Whenever we tried to move quickly it was if the ball was made of soap or we simply made terrible decisions. It's very frustrating.

    august is traditionally the month that assistant coaches are told that they're being re-contracted or not - already david teague has left the tiggas as he wants to be a 'ball movement' style coach not a forward line coach

    do you think we will see change to our assistant coaching ranks in 2025?

    as a corollary to that, how much change is too much?

    As always thank you to our intrepid hosts for bringing us this podcast week in week out. Although Andy you can go back on holidays. We were unstoppable against some of the competitions best while you were on your junket and now have crashed down to earth upon your return. In all seriousness welcome back.

    And welcome back to Clarry Oliver. So good to see him tearing it up on the G. I just wish he had his partner in crime Petracca by his side. Would certainly have made a difference on Saturday night.

    It was fantastic that he could shut out all the noise from the bleating media about him being on the trade table. I can't wait until the trade week silly season is over and we can put this nonsense to bed.

    Hopefully with a full preseason under his belt and his life back to some normalcy he will be tearing it up more consistently next season.

    You can also add the one where Tom Green was clearly in the 5 metre protected area when Petty marked on 50. Would have been a certain goal.

    Worst part of this one is that as Petty was running in for goal, instead of paying the 50, the umpire started shouting get back Tom, get back Tom, which probably was a bit of a distraction for Petty...

    • 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?
