Max might not see the year out. 

Hes playing against probably the best ruckman in the league by a fair mile. He won't be the last to have their colours lowered by Xerri

Same movie as 2022, 2023, 2024.

Nothing has changed.

Goodwin and his empty promises. So much for the new game plan.

The club has been expecting the backline to win games for us.

Defenders don't kick winning scores.

Why doesn't JVR ever lead? Petracca goes down there in Q3, leads and gets a free. JVR waits at the back of the pack, waiting for the big bomb, which he never marks ( he's a two-grabber). Turner leads occasionally, but JVR.....

I think I’ve seen 3 times he’s lead and the kick has gone over his head. We can’t kick to the advantage of our forwards. On top of that it’s a lot of just bombing it high and long. Again. For years.(Forwards also not moving to dangerous places)

    He's really melted down today. Got the body language of a young Jessie Hogan.

    He'll come good once he's elsewhere 

     

    Im sorry… but that’s 50.

    he isn’t allowed to be there

    Where is the communication from the ump about the mark?

    more stupidity. this time petty

    we're well and truly cooked

    • Thumb Down 1

    Breaking down all over the ground, clearances out of the middle are few and far between and when we do it is a long bomb into the air, no one down forward can take a contested mark. Ball use off half back is sloppy and just average at best. We look slow and unskillful. Forward line issues have haunted us since the grand final. Long season.


    Unfortunately we can't tank because Essendon owns our [censored] this season. Otherwise I would say just play the kids, start building the future.

    Thank you Max, May and a couple more vets.

    Not sure what to do when you clearly see no care whatsoever from some of our senior players.

    Only comfort from this is knowing we’re not a snowball’s chance of challenging this year. It’s the hope that kills you. 

    Game over. What a pathetic disappointment.

    Time for the proper rebuild.

    This is going to be a 10 goal loss 


    Petty is such a lazy and not smart footballer. Lever isn’t overly footy smart either. Heck the whole team plays stupid football.

    • 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.
