Can’t understand why TMac has been dropped for Lever & Sharp should always be a sub!!!!

Maybe Tmac has a giggle that we don't know about?

    Start watching the game late, just caught up to the broadcast.

    AJ - likely 1 week based upon the hit on Fargo the week before, not sure why he jumped though.

    Kossie first shot, - really worried it showed they weren't switch on as then the saints went on a super purple patch. But two marks up the top of the square by the saints in the 2nd must've Goodwin pull what hair he has left out. Really poor by the boys in defence.

    Back to 13 points, we look more in control but need less posters and more goals.

    The left seems to be much easier to score at, so we need to wn this qtr going into the last.

    137 disposals for the half for us seems characteristically low.

    I'm tellin' youse all somethin' most of you already know, Disco will be one of our best inside the next 12 months.

    Great one grab mark, beautiful kick, makes great decisions. I'd like to see him forward but that'll depend on who comes in - TMac, JvR and/or MJ.

    AJ certainly to miss next week so JvR will get the nod you'd expect.

    Ross is a very astute coach. He’s shut down Langdon and Bowey and we’ve lost all our drive and spread.

    You can add that he’s taken Windsor back to the square and Butler, who’s a smart forward, has kicked 3 from the goal square.

    We are missing Spargo’s pressure and tackling

    Max doesn't focus on the goals long enough. He looks down with just the odd glance at the sticks and then always misses. Simply needs to lift his head up. Small change.

    Reckon it's just plain psychology ATM as it is with a bunch of 'em.
    Same with Pickett and his rushed play on kicks.
    None are confident they'll kick straight.
    Little men in their heads telling them "You'll miss, you'll miss, you'll miss" .... And they do.

    That’s poor coaching from us. Windsor shouldn’t be sucked into the last line of defense. Ever.

    Salem should be on Butler.

    Not sure why people are having a crack at Healy’s commentary. He clearly thinks we are the better side and should win. Like us, I think he’s found our uneven effort after working so hard over the last month confounding. I agree with him.

    Shut up Healy.

    Talks out of his [censored]. Foxtel commendatory team add zero to footy viewing experience rather listen to Brian’s inanities.

    One at ground front of the camera. Shows Fox commitment.

    Again we can pop Kosi in the goal square and free him up. I would play him close to goal and break the tag.

    The problem is Turner has become our premier tall defender. Lever having a quiet one again. May a rusty first quarter. I'd love Disco fwd though.

    We had a very similar 2nd quarter last week, very inaccurate with a lot of inside 50s.

    We have had a very inaccurate forward line with loads of inside 50’s for the past 3 years

    great block there by lever.

    showing some good intent so far.

    A good 6-8 players might want to pull their finger out this half and do something.

    Again back to leaving too much up to too few.

    • 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.
