I’m sorry, but to not even score in a quarter is inexcusable. Especially considering that we were 3 goals up going into the last.

We were 3 goals up because we had the wind for 2 of the 3 quarters.

Freo scored 1 goal in the first and third. We scored 1 goal in the second. 

The game was going to tighten up in the last and make scoring in to the wind incredibly hard.

1 goal 4 in the 3rd quarter was where we lost it.

    Lost it in the 3rd quarter.  Didn’t take our chances. 
     

    Skills again were poor for most of the day 

     

    Too few were carrying the team. How must McNamara feel ?? She starred and has at least been a bright light this year.   

     By the way, 30 seconds and Kate Hore kicks it straight out of bounds in defensive 50. Very strange.  Panicked. Skill error was horrible.

    Over the last few years I've come to greatly admire Kate Hore's composure and leadership. That last minute from her was so uncharacteristic.
    She also didn't seem to be able to gather the group to resist Fremantle's momentum.

    A pretty bleak day for her, but hope she'll find a way to get the season back on track because it's pretty quickly going down the gurgles.

    Heading back to Melbourne. Feeling gutted and simply cannot understand the umpiring. It appeared that there were two completely different interpretations of the holding the ball rule. If Melbourne were tackled holding the ball if Freo was tackled ball it up. Home state umpires do not work

    Amazing how these girls still cannot hit a target at times

    It was shocking, often running away from the player when coming out of defence instead of leading up.  Given how far they can kick weird decision making.  I was near the bench for the first half, a few comments from those there of the team not making the right decisions and they need to teach it at training.

    The female umpire was terrible, the guy was pretty consistent.

    Umpiring won them the game I thought you had to tackle them to get holding the ball. Massive game against Essendon if we are 1 and 4 it's season over.

    • 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.
