Bit harsh on Bowey and Langdon Joeboy. I thought they were clearly our best two.

Problem is .... you're both right...

They might have been our best.... but they were quite ineffective in the greater scheme of things.


Bowey was our best.

Good summary per usual JB.

You mentioned the very few God efforts so it's nice to see some positives.

Jvr had gone so far backwards and having an anti break out year. More like a breakdown year.

But we are in serious trouble with marque players serving up some of that.

Fritta is really on the fritz.

And yes Sparrow just keeps plodding along. For five or six years now. Surely after all this time and little effort we can play someone else.

Petty now failing in his old role as well.

May gets a mulligan in his first game.

Billings should be billed half his salary back.

And I love Rivers but he's caught the I've forgotten how to play big as well.

I thought Salo was your only error.

Max...I just love the bloke too much to criticize but suffice to say he's had always been a barometer of the club each game.

Milkshake will be back. See May.( Mulligan,)

And young Lindsay is just heartbreaking for the kid.

But again it's the big names with big salaries and experience that sem to be the issue.

Goody...Check your contract

100% agreement joe boy.

Agreed geriatric Dee.

Sorry I've probably taken that way too far.

You can spell the last word in my username with B of it makes you feel better.

But JB was pretty dope on.

My only detractions would be Salem and Fritta. The latter just a little because he certainly improved and got his hands on the more and increased his tackle count of only two to a lot more from his previous ones of zip. The only issue being his once very realable kicking at goal has kicked the bucket.

Perhaps a sequel of Daniel Day Lewis's film of "My left foot."... to 'My inaccurate foot."

But the team as a whole was atrocious. I forced myself to watch as much of the replay I could physically stomach and it looked worse

It really seemed like a training.match with a team with no games under their belt v a team that had a dozen.

Constant unforced skill errors , terrible accuracy by foot, endless handballs missing their targets and fumbles galore.

And the main problem being this was mostly being done by our more " seasoned players". In fact many of these highly paid veterans looked more clumsy with the ball than a high school boy fiddling with his Beau's undergarments in the back of his 60 Chevy.

  • 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.

  • 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.
