That's definitely not me. I'm the guy critiquing the umpires

"That's not a mark"

"That's not 15"

BALLLLLLLLLL!

"You've got to pay them both ways"

"FFS"

"There used to be one umpire who's doing a better job than these 4"

Kosssieeeeeee!

"They need to get rid of the insufficient intent rule, that call was b*[censored]"

"Kick a goal son! How good was that!"

Hello, is that me?

I was going off last week about the inconsistency - does my head in

    The six day turnaround is a test for players and fitness staff, but does the AFL understand how hard it can be washing and drying a pair of lucky Demons socks with such a short break between games?

    Solution - second wear is inside out. Third wear is swap feet. One wash every three weeks.

    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    About to consume a few alcoholic beverages in the office and then off to the G.

    See you there. Go Dees!

    Very Suprised that Goodwin has bought Fritsch back into the side after only 1 week.

    Hope it works,

    win tonight and there is a pulse left in the Season

    I think he needed to after Turner went out to be honest. There’s no Lever, so if May or T-Mac go down, we only have Petty as a reliable like for like.

    If Petty isn’t in our forward line and no Fritsch, then it’s Fullarton and a bunch of smalls VS Vlaustin, Broad and Macintosh in the air…. Probably a bad time.

    “MAN UP!!!”

    GUILTY as charged, yer 'onour. Not that I've actually managed to see much play this year as Watch AFL and I are having Words - my voucher number doesn't work and I can only watch because some kind Demonlander has loaned me their credentials, but I don't want to rely on that because yannow I paid for a digital membership for myself....

    Anyway, GO DEES! I'm off to bed. It's after midnight here and I just can't stay up until 3 or 4am any more. Wrecks me the next day.

    I understand that, but we also had 23 tackles in the Forward Line last week.

    Fritsch needs to contribute to the Team a lot more…

    Hopefully the light has switched on inside his head..

    Dees by 3 goals it should be more but we have the lead weight back in the forward line this week.

    Classy.

    So with Melksham out injured, who would you have brought in ?


    I'm here.

    Trigger warning- small handful of dees players on the ground in a circle - kicking around a soccer ball.

    All about how hard we work off the ball tonight - our scoring will flow off the back of that.

    line for line (no J. Smith)), we have the tiges covered.

    In the ground, should be a decent crowd.. Few Richmond folk have infiltrated our area in M51

    Hunner percent, zero argument here.

    I’ve said it elsewhere on here before but Fritsch has never been strong defensive or pressure wise at all.

    What has changed is the goals dried up, which made this wayyyyy more evident.

    Had a look at the last few years and the following is his ranking in our team on averages:


              Tackles   Tackle I50  Pressure acts

    2021    19th            8th                    14th

    2022     24th           7th                   19th

    2023    27th            15th                 22nd

    2024 28th           11th                23rd

    Gates open at 5:30pm (MCC 5pm)

    Order of events:

    6.50pm - Pre-Match Entertainment
    7.01pm - Light Horses Lap of Honour
    7.12pm - Observance Ceremony
    7.18pm - Joint Banner Run Through
    7.30pm - Match Start

    Note: they pause entry through all gates during the Observance Ceremony (at 7.12pm). If you're not inside the ground by then, you'll be held outside.

    With increased security measures it’ll take longer to process everyone. They really should open the gates at 4:30pm imo. At Easter Monday’s Hawks vs Geelong match there were folks who missed the first quarter due to the time it takes to get everyone in.

    I will be interested to see the way the coaching team perform this evening.

    Last week was really the first time I have seen them win the match day coaching. They were positive and proactive.

    Need the same tonight.

    Want to see pressure, Pressure, Pressure and a clearly defined task for Viney. He responded very well last week.

    Go Dees!

    Totally agree. Small wins continuously.

    With the amount of upsets already in the Season, we can claw our way back, but we must get on a winning streak

    • 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.
