Tbf, this is only their second match of the year after playing in round 1 and then the bye.

They look seriously good in the contest and on the spread and would be expected to get a lot better as the season goes on.

Absolutely. Their spread today is asking us look pedestrian.

 

This has 10 goal thumping all over it

But they love each other

    Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

    Dropped marks, miskicks, handballs that fail to travel a metre, constant turnovers, etc. etc. nothing to do with Goodwin.

    Trick question...... they're all on the nose.

    Lindsay, if anything probably a PCL unfortunately

    Thanks very much. Bloody shame for the young kid. Been doing well.

    Heartbreaking for him.

    Time to call the season off.

    Never seen them so disinterested under goodwin.

    Think he's lost them.

    How long do we have to keep watching this garbage.
    Till the club has withered and died a slow death.
    Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

    We need to make a statement and stand for something.

    Must admit I try to avoid the AFL official media just as much as I try and avoid the Gameday thread. But any danger someone from the AFL could drop by training one day and take a snap of the vice-captain and add it to the file?

    Thanks Mr C. Snake . At least Milkshake has still got it.

    And I called for Bowser to moved fwd two weeks ago. He is fast, fleet of foot,has great hand to eye coordination and in the limited opportunities had good goal awareness. Given Kozzie s suspension and Nibbler leaving, Chins apparent cameo for the year, he could be handy.

    Everything to do with the coach, good coaches do not tolerate continued mistakes.

    Except for the fact that he is the one in charge of the list and all that..

    I don’t know what to make of this team. They look like they just aren’t invested in the game plan (whatever that may be), they don’t appear to be working for each other (very little talking or awareness of what team mates are doing) and they just appear to lack energy. Honestly, I feel like I’m watching a Neeld era match… it’s so [censored] awful!!

    Fritsch can’t buy a goal, Rivers is having possibly the worst game I’ve seen him play, Viney appears to be disposing of the ball to players that we can’t see, Salem doesn’t appear to want to lay a tackle, Oliver still having the occasional expensive brain fart etc etc. And on top of all of that we lose Lindsay, one of our most productive players in the first two rounds, early in the game.

    I am liking Johnson’s attitude if not his skill set, and I’ve liked Sharp’s run. Back to the game now…

    Reminds me of when players used to walk away ignoring the Neil Balme qtr time huddles.

    FFS need to make a statement and drop Oliver. He has been a liability.

    Well actually he isn't.

    List manager and recruitment are in charge of that. Sure Goodwin has input but he won't make the calls.

    • 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.
