I don’t remember being as angry watching the footy as I watched the quarter. So May wasted opportunities and then that missed call 🤬🤬🤬🤬.

HOW THE HELL CAN ALL 4 UMPIRES MISS THAT TRIP!!! ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.

Agreed

I can’t remember being this furious

You just know we’ll lose by a goal or two and we’ll be thinking of these ump decisions and missed shots

    What's done is done but we should be 4 goals up.

    Umpires what tha fug are you guys watching out there?

    Kozzie legged clear as fuggin day.

    Set shot kicking is killing us.

    The game is completely on our terms and we are failing to punish these social media, cuckold thriving pretenders.

    We have an absolute diamond in Harvey "Langers" Langford. God bless him.🙌

    Oh FFS. This is such a vacuous, superficial take.

    How so, we clearly have 3 tall fwds in fritsch, jvr and Jeffo that can’t hit the side of a barn door, and Jeffo and fritsch have offered 0 in any other regard, what was the thinking in going with the extra tall

    Edited by Garbo


    First half....The Hawks were ordinary but we were worse forward of centre.

    Bar Langers & Koz our kicking at goal would have to go down as some of the worst you could ever wish to see from any team to have ever played the game.

    First game I have seen us play for a while and apart from our kicking at goal we have been good. I really hope we win this.

    Adams for Jeffo = Turner forward

    Massive SC blunder

    After calming down a little…

    it’s great that we seem to be a competitive team again after that first month

    The only way it’s possible to get that Kozzie trip call so wrong is if the multiple umpires in the area weren’t watching the play. That’s just plain incompetence.

    Speaking of incompetence: how’s our goal kicking going? If we lose this match it will 100% be because of all the misses in Q2. I can’t see Hawthorn allowing the dominance we had in that quarter to continue, so we may pay very dearly.

    Isn’t that trip a reportable offence? Should get a week for that.

    Umpires every week are royally screwing us over. Every week .

    Possibly. It's certainly unsportsmanlike. Kos was running into an open goal and that was not a genuine attempt at a tackle.

    ✅️ Kolt on for Jeffo

    ✅️ Swap Turner & JVR

    Lol at the umpiring pathetic.

    We will win this still, flood gates will open

    You may miss the Kozzie trip but what about Sicily throw? Two obvious AF frees.

    Umpiring will define the result of this game - already has to a certain extent. Hawks have had two cheapies from frees that were not there.

    Langford on track to become our best ever midfielder lol

    Don't Lol.
    Just might be true if we can keep him.

    Nothing but projection. Adams has never played an AFL game, instead of being a "solution" he could just as easily be out of his depth and put in a shocker.

    Should be leading, umpire missed trip & holding the ball

    Yeah you can blame that, but our kicking for goal has been woeful.

    Imagine that in the last quarter of a Grand Final.

    It absolutely is. He will be reported, and then fined I reckon. Which will be a gutless outcome.


    Can't see us winning this. No Viney, Melksham, Petty (or Turner) or at the other end, Lever is just a step too far. In an ideal world JVR would still be back in the VFL getting his game (back) together. As for Jefferson ... hard to see.

    Olivier looking a bit lost out there, he only knows one way to play.

    Inaccuracy not helping. Missed some very easy shots.

    I want the Kolt. How the hell is Sharp on instead of him?

    We're playing well but thank Christ for Koz and Harvey.

    Our forward line functions about as well as the jokes on bounce

    Official complaint needed to umpiring needed

    Green should beeline for media at end of game and make that case

    There is no excuse for that incompetance - none.

    Geez our kicking at goal is not acceptable. Allllllll the way back to the 2022 and 23 seasons especially 2023 finals

    Must be addressed

     

    Showing my age but I feel like I need to put on the

    every time we have a shot on goal :(

    Oliver lowered his eyes a couple of times which was good to see.

    Tracc is playing well but geez he's put some dump kicks down Sicily's throat

    • 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.
