i don;t know where the inspiration is coming from today

worst conversion rate in the league. same old story

 

Playing kick to kick with each other across the back line. Bloody pathetic football

Such a frustrating game and what I think will end up being another loss.

It drives me nuts they way we play sometimes.

Probs another loss next week too. So infuriating. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Isn’t it funny how most weeks our opposition are complete sharp shooters and never miss, we are bloody cursed when it comes to goal kicking

    Remarkable

    Maybe to do with shooting from the boundary whilst we get torched on the rebound. Saints goals mainly from 25m range

    Obviously the club need the money but this ground is a disaster for the club.

    In all seriousness, our lack of genuine ball users is beyond frustrating; as is our inability to defend the rebound and turnover when it’s moved through the centre.

    soft turnovers

    We are giving them possession by atrocious decision making when kicking inside F50, or just poor skills. I am so enraged I keep getting up walking away from the TV for 2 minutes, ranting to myself only to return to the TV because I can't &*%$ing help myself.

    Can't we just play the game well?

    Chip 12 metre to no one. No one [censored]. [censored]. FYCK

    With the wind a very very low percentage shot from that side of the ground, it was the right ideal, just a really-poor kick.


    I don't think we get it today. Some of the skill errors look pathetic. They're out on they're feet.

    Such a shame we started with 5 losses because these losses were always going to come

    Also while I love the community work the club does up there, playing in Alice Springs each year is a serious competitive disadvantage

    Yep

    Forwards should practice two hours per week goal kicking under all scenarios.

    Elementary you'd think

    After three years I doubt it will happen.

    Anyway we are still in it. If we kick straight and stop turning it over in the middle.

    Lever bought back too soon. Not ready.

    Coaches have done their homework. Nullify Kozzie and Melksham and we can't kick goals.

    Maybe Tracc at full fwd.

    I don't know.

    Swap Petty for Disco

    Leave Disco , Koz and Melk on their own i50 as much as poss


    Brad Hill having a picnic out there. Even that dud Butler has kicked 4 against us. This is just beyond pathetic.

    Edited by Devil In Disguise

    Johnson out that a positive. That dropped mark ugg.

     

    Why hasn't Laurie been subbed in for sharp? Lever 4 kicks. Been appalling

    Oliver held all day. So many players playing poorly. Salem cooked. Rivers. Well below par. Fritsch. 10m cameo

    Sharp 5 kicks. Have seen enough

    Coach has stagefright. Can't move

    • 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.
