    JVR had a pretty good game and that’s my one positive.

    Chin and Rivers have to play more midfield for the rest of the year together with Kosi.

    I hate this season and it can’t end soon enough

    All about clearances.

    We won the free count...marks... tackles...kicks... handballs but got smashed in the clearances.

    We played well for 10 minutes and that's about it.

    Our midfield needs a massive shakeup Oliver and Petracca giving us not much. Fritsch and Salem need to be moved on as well.

    Jefferson looks a bust, has no intensity. JVR has to be left forward for the rest of the season, bring someone else in to backup ruck FFS. Being in Campbell, Verrall, who cares just let Roo develop up forward.

    I was all for giving Jeffo the rest of the season to develop in the seniors but wowza, he is nowhere near ready. His intent and desire is questionable at best and he's constantly being pushed off the ball by defenders.

    His confidence looked shot at the end of the game.

    Just now, SPC said:

    Fritta, Oliver, Trac and Lever all up for trade.

    Lever finally played a good game. Tracca was good but went missing too long.

    It's players like Sparrow

    .. Fritta...Jvr and Jeffo...our fwd line that failed.

    Pretty decent in patches especially early until they piled on 8-1 goals or whatever. But that’s the same old story. It’s hard to know when we are going to turn up, and if we do, when, and how long we will turn off for

    Give the Melkman another five years, he is looking great.

    Just a reminder we are 5-11, haven't won a final since 2021 and most likely this will continue for the next 5-10 years.

    We have the lowest skilled midfield, drafted on contested ball - yet still get smashed in clearances.

    Enjoy!

    Maybe we can package them all up for a 2nd rounder?

    Poor ball use, the fellas gave it a shot, just not good enough.

    Good performers in the first half like Salem, Rivers, Lindsay. Just couldn't sustain it though

    With basically a healthy list.

    Honestly I've found this season so draining and deflating to the point where I just don't really care. I know that sounds bad but that's just how it is.

    My only consolations from this game is that Pickett boosted his AA chances even further and Melksham continued his heart-warming resurgence.

    Goalkicking from set shots: Goals 6, Misses 7. If we had not missed those shots, we would have scored 36 more points. We would have scored 113 points in total and we would have won. I know it's coulda, would, should but other teams kick goals with set shots. Our 50pc rating V Adelaide was actually a good rating for us, but pathetic compared to the Pies, the Hawks and others.

    • 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.
