Sure.

Two dropped marks as a KPF cost us goals in the second quarter. Normal service resumed.

Absolute sitters

As usual to script can’t score , coping goals in the last minute … Goodwin we are going backwards , fwd issues continue for 4 seasons, no fwds who can hold a mark! How about leaving JvR instead of flogging him as a ruck

Then people complain that he is not living up to potential. YEAH because he is being wasted rucking.

Just put him in the square for a few games and let him find his form and confidence. We can't do much worse!

Petty is the most useless forward I have ever seen! He is a defender only, but typical stubborn coach refuses to listen or change his thinking!

 

Second best in every aspect of the game.

The ease with which Port are attacking down their right flank is embarrassing.

Petracca a mere shadow of the player he once was. Slow and ineffective.

We have been smashed in marking contests, continually beaten for pace, and lacking any kind of forward craft.

It's just about time to give our youngsters a good run and let Salem and a few other veterans head into the sunset.

butters should be suspended for his hit on Koz, Maynard levels of thuggery


no forwards arent suprising

our defence is what is costing us

move petty back

We HAVE TO GET RID OF THE COACH…. He’s bloody no good, I’m sick of it, we won the flag in 21 and the last 4 years have been disaster after disaster, Port are [censored] and we’re 24 points behind at half time, if we didn’t have Kozzie we’d be down by 40

It baffles me how any AFL team can be so poorly skilled, it’s just amateurish

Perhaps the overwhelming emphasis over the last 10 years has been a blinkered attitude towards crash and bang efforts to win the Contested ball and then jam it into F50 to get a stoppage.

Inexplicable dropped marks. I really like the guy and think he will come good... and think he is being wasted rucking without a good enough block of time up forward but geez stuff like that is hard to defend!

another shocker from the ump

and again on the siren

GAGF AFL. why the [censored] can't you overpaid money grabbers sort out the umpring

Don’t worry about the shockers from the umps just look at all our player shockers. Much worse from our own players 🤮🤮

We certainly have the dumbest players in the comp. They have no idea. It hasn't changed for years. Just kick it in hope plus handball in hope. Every time it gets in our forward line, they take it out so easily and more often results in a goal.


Oliver has become a liability and Trac doesn’t seem interested

Viney is getting smoked by Butters. Get him off and get Langdon on him. Viney is simply a plodder and cannot go with the more dynamic players of the competition.

Massive coaching blunder.

Time to have a real talk about Viney.

Calmly look at all his disposals and rethink his role.

Time to bring TMac back in and get games into Jeffo. The coach’s love child Petty can [censored] off.

And give Jeffo and Roo 5-6 games together, even if they do little. Our season is shot, time to put games into youngsters

Give Lever a spell at Casey, put Petty Back. That's where he plays his best footy

Ricciuto is an annoying [censored] too. He can GAGF. I've had it.


The Saints performance is the real us. We just keep putting in these putrid performances far too often for this to be anything but a pattern now under Simon.

He truly has to go at year's end

Legitimately went into this thinking we were a chance and I don't think Port have been amazing. But time on in that quarter was scumbag stuff.

Is some nobjockey off the street wearing the no.7 jumper today? Does Steven May have to be quite so relentlessly on the verge of giving away a free? So many of these guys look like they've never played in direct sunlight before. Fritsch totally at sea.

Do something in the second half or go directly to jail with no $200.

We MUST trade out some of our ball butchers over the summer to bring in some class. Viney, Rivers, Sparrow, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon you cant have them all regardless of their other qualities.

Why was May not on Georgiades from the start.

Why is Petty out there at all.

If players somehow learn how to execute a kick into 50 in the second half we may eke out a win but I doubt why it would suddenly change now after 3-4 years of this rubbish.

Season over if we can’t pull this one back

Reckon the club are going to have to have some really serious discussions about Viney, Trac and Clarry this offseason

We can’t keep carrying so many mids who bang it on the boot and can’t hit targets

The problem for me with Melksham has always been inconsistancy.

Plays a blinder or two and then disappears for the same amount of time.

No coincidence Port piles on the goals when KP goes off.

Shame we have to rely on him so much.

Tracca needs to show more leadership.

Oliver needs to stop just throwing the ball on his boot or his trademark handball over the head without looking.

Max keeps toiling.

Turner patches of good effort.

Apart from Kozzie who has stood out?

There is still close to a dozen premiership players out there but you would never guess it.

Are we tired from playing only five days ago?

Possibly. It is a poor fixture for us.

But players who seem to be well down on form from 21...Lever....Rivers...Petty....Salem... Sparrow..( the perennial 12 disposals per game)....Oliver ....and today Melksham...Tracca..and Viney who has maybe come back too soon.

Imagine Kozzie playing in a team like the pies.

Lets see what Goody does.

  • 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.

  • 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.
