We should be sitting on 65+ right now. 40 ahead.

We are still lacking one, just one, dangerous Key Tall up forward.

Petty doing his bit but he ain't no KF.

Turner doing very well down back but i'd still like to see him up forward at some stage to see how he goes in a swap with Petty. Maybe an opportunity next week against the aints?

Gee i'm lovin this doof at the G. So makes me wanna keep coming back 🤮

    Frisch,Petty & AJ need to lift & take a mark.

    Agree, but Petty is at least getting it to ground, not letting it rebound out.

    AJ. Not sure. Love the intensity, but not sure he's bringing much else.

    If I haven’t lost 10 years of my life watching us kick for goal, then at a minimum I’ve lost 8.

    Please learn to kick goals. I beg of you.

    Gee your all a bit tough on Spargo, doing a lot better than you think. Not all about stats.

    What are you smokin? He has been dreadful! Petty not much better and A.J is a country footballer at best!

    Yep.

    I just don't get why. It's been an issue for years.

    I mean you can't fault our tackling and chasing. But I wish the club got a team of Vienna Psychiatrists in and sorted it out.

    We have worried Swans players and forced errors all day only to fuzz it all up.

    Training this week is nothing but goal kicking work and some deep hypnosis and counselling.

    As Jung said to one of the first members of AA, the only thing that will cue you is a "vital spiritual experience". Can we pick Prevost up in the mid-season draft?

    Outside of aggression AJ offers nothing

     

    If you told me before the game we'd be 22 points up at half time I would have said fantastic.

    But watching miss after miss& I still don't know whymax would handball it off to melksham at that point.

    We are absolutely killing them

    can’t see them coming back

    just need 2 goals and they are done

    Goody and the coaching staff are back!!

    Any danger of kicking a drop punt instead of this round the corner [censored] on the non dominant foot?

    Yep 100% agree woeful, wasteful and pathetic!

    I think he played Baseball. But I'll take anything. Even supplications to a higher power.

    Hopefully we have a good soccer training session this week to improve our goal kicking

    Aside from the general frustration, we quite obviously need percentage. If we win this we go to 11 and a win next week puts us in 10th behind freo, who has much better percentage. It’s a long season and position right now does not matter too much, but it WILL matter at some point. A 30 point win (presuming we win today), vs a 60 point win is a big difference, especially if you can string a few together.

    Let’s go boys, take that first half energy and momentum and turn it into some big early scores in the second half.

    It’s so frustrating watching a team do so much right but not capitalise on its opportunities. Hopefully we can convert better in the second half.

    Seems to struggle reading the ball.


    Time to move on from Choco and bring in a goal kicking expert. It has been our weakness for years yet we don’t make any changes.

    Absolutely and what a difference it makes. If he wasn't killing it everywhere, I'd move him to the fwd line.

    Do you know who the sub is please..can they kick goals... and is is it time?

    And Bergoglio was a more than handy soccer player.

    • 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.
