    JVR could have kicked that

    It was the right choice to give it off to Fritsch in front of goal. It was the wrong choice for Fritsch not to put his damn arms out and take a mark.

    Such laziness and lack of competitiveness.

    JVR should have hand balled to Trac to snap the behind

    That last play there sums up our forward line.

    JVR has an empty goal square and forward line. Fritsch has a team mate streaming towards him.

    Three options:

    1. Fritsch leads hard to space. JVR kicks to him. Clean shot on goal.

    2. Fritsch drags his opponent away or runs off him to create space. JVR even shoots at goal or kicks/handballs to a free Fritsch.

    3. JVR backs himself in and has a shot at goal.

    None of the above happen. Fritsch jogs a lead. JVR does a chip kick 15 meters. Fritsch is spoiled, Crows get it out.

    This team is actually unwatchable.

    Yeah but if he missed we would be saying he should have passed it to a leading fritsch

    Rivers was smashing them early, and then the genius puts him down back, where he has barely touched it since. Outside of Rivers, Viney tries hard. I'd be moving Petracca and Oliver on at years end.

    Oliver & Trac absolutely pathetic, win a contest!

    GOODWIN - play someone else on ball.

    he has said for the past two weeks that others ie x and langford will get more time in the middle, have not seen them in their once today?

    Fritsch wasn't leading. He was running towards a player with the ball. Melksham would have broken off the Crows defender to create space. Fritsch just runs in a straight line.

    It’s great Melky kicking a few. But surely it should be others kicking the goals.

    Why oh ferking why

    Our once tough as nails much vaunted, veteran midfielders have turned to marshmallows! It’s embarrassing watching the Crows mids just bulldoze straight through them.

    • 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.
