You’ve given up on a group based on half a bad season.  

You meant half a bad season each year for 3 years, right?

    There's far too much emphasis by some solely on the ladder position over form since '21 without looking at the substance of those wins. We were far from convincing in 22 and 23, and the writing was largely on the wall for most of this year. 

    Being 2.5 wins off the bottom four doesn't bode well at all, despite the apparent closeness of the season.

    during the home and away seasons in 22 and 23 if we didn't win we were 'in the game' until the final moments

    i wish people would stop talking down those performances

    2024 a different kettle of fish entirely

    As I said, people tend to look at the results of those seasons without looking at the substance of the games. 

    You can project all the positivity you wish, I don't buy into it and ultimately the finals results tell the story.

    I think Tex Walker makes more sense if we go this direction. 

    This is the same Tex Walker who sooked it up at Jake Lever leaving the crows.  No Thanks.

    Would prefer Peter Wright. Far cheaper and more durable.

    And scared of his own shadow

    Lynch was a hell of a player.

    WAS a hell of a player.

    I watched what injuries and father time did to our Benny Brown, and know that sometimes there is no turning back the clock.

    I recall him clobbering into the Swans earlier this year.

    Ideally you want a big key forward who plays with aggression but we did win a flag with Ben Brown.

    If we are going to bring in a big forward id prefer a player who can 1) get on the park and 2) can play back up ruck to Gawn so JVR/Petty don't have to. I wanted Chol last off season but it seems like our recruiters weren't interested, didn't try hard enough or were rebuffed. I don't know who else is out there so if it was between Lynch or Wright I'd prefer Wright as I think Lynch is cooked.

    • 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.
