Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    Oliver not fit enough we can’t keep playing him, until he gets back to a reasonable fitness level back to vfl.

    Jeffo not ready for AFL

    Fritsch needs to go back to vfl for real this time.

    Langford looks like he will be an absolute gun

    The game should have been over at 3/4 time. We dominated the middle part of the game and missed 8 easy shots at goal

    Another last quarter masterclass by us AFTER another masterclass performance in goal kicking.

    U reap what you sow.

    FFS ANOTHER SEASON WASTED.

    But don’t worry it gets easier next week with the lions at the Gabba 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Poor goalkicking.

    Wasted opportunities.

    Last quarter fade out

    (Copy and paste from any game, really)

    Umpiring was corrupt but it’s not why we lost. We were in it at 3Q but didn’t turn up. Again. Apparent we are not a real team and won’t beat any real teams this year. Blood the kids, get ready for 2026

    I reckon Goodwin outcoached Mitchell today but if your players can’t kick straight from 30m it doesn’t matter what tactics you use

    Season over for all practical purposes.

    Only thing keeping my interest is denying Essendon a high draft pick.

    Continual injuries haven't helped but there's little joy to be had this year

    Please Dees, just give me 4 quarters of pressure like the first three, and accurate goal kicking when we have the game on our terms …….. and an even hand from the umpires would also be nice, thank you very much!

    I'll say the worst umpiring I've seen in a long time., muppets.

    But it was all the regulation set shots we missed in the 2nd and 3rd that cost us the game.

    Otherwise that was the best team effort we have played all year as a team. There is still the issue of 4th qtr fadeouts to work on.

    In my distant youth an accidental trip was a free and a deliberate trip is a suspension. What is it now?

    Our inability to develop a key forward post Neitz needs to be studied.

    • 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.
