Clarry needs to be subbed off at half time -  his efforts are embarrassing….

    I'm sorry but poor Oliver is just lost out there.

    He had one touch that quarter and five for the whole game.

    Of those he's just turned it over.

    Almost feel he should be subbed off.

    We can't afford to carry these sort of games.

    I know he's been one of the greatest players ever for us but that makes it even more worrying.

    Oliver’s hand has to be the excuse . So if he cannot handball or tackle, then why is he out there? Seriously it is so glaringly obvious he does not belong in the starting line up.

    sub oliver off to give him a rest. they guy needs time to recover. At the moment he is a liability the way he is playing. our forwards need to do better, as does our delivery into the forward line. a lot of good play up fields is totally destroyed by our delivery into the forward line. and the umpiring has been pretty bad our players held, pushed in the back, they drop the ball everything going unnoticed by the umpires. really the AFL needs to do something about that.

     

    Oliver playing like trash.

    Sub him out.

    Just nicked out the shed for a dart.
    Radio on and hear the commentators.
    "Bit of a nothing game ATM"
    "Yeah, hasn't reached any great heights."

    This is my issue with Goodwin.
    Our games never do.
    Dour, rugby scrum.

    Effort fantastic. Kossie one on one will beat anyone. Great to be here on a beautiful night.

    Love Oliver to be subbed, but if Marshall is out, we are very tall down back

    It always feels like Port spear their kicks and we're just up and under kings.

    Exactly. Up and under kings … jv7, Salem, Billings, Clarry… all like 9 iron chip kicks versus Houston, Bergman, Horne-Francis darts !!!

    Petty's been good. Turner too.

    Jvr bern struggling of late but he gives his all. 

    Our delivery fwd hasn't been quick like Ports.

    And to be fair , Port have flooded our fwd line quick smart all night.

    Surely it's not still his hand. Don't know what it is. You'd think instinct would kick in.How can you go from being the best player in the league to being a passenger 

    Get Melky on. Even Jeffo would have got his hands on some of those balls coming in. And Blake Howes is a complete waste of space down back.

    His hands just aren’t that good, just not a one grabber


    Where has that forward half pressure been in the last 6 weeks?

    Really sick and tired with all and sundry, commentators included, slagging the champion that is Clayton Oliver. Issues well documented and 14 pins in his hand and still our highest possession gatherer for the season. He'll be back bigger and better than ever. Champions are rare. Give him the respect he deserves. 

    Absolutely agree!

    Glad our match day entertainment has succumb to the stupid visuals of people in the crowd

    Came to say the same. He tried making himself throw up with the doctor standing next to him. 

     

    Really liking what I've seen today.

    Nothing perfect or flashy but highly contested and every player giving a lot of effort.

    This is what we need to see for the rest of the season.

    • 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.
