Kennett Stops Talking

I know hard to believe but there's one topic he's stopped spruiking about.

Last time Kennett tried to become an AFL statesman, he called on the competition to toughen up its illicit drugs policy. Kennett declared a zero tolerance regime at his own club, but he seems to have stopped talking about that now.

We almost shut him up today too, his Tassie Hacks were pretty average. In fact my belief is they only won after that abysmal 80 metre "50 metre penalty" was given by an umpire who was either incompetent or biased (they're never biased, are they??). Changed the whole momentum at a critical stage.

Who would I rather barrack for right now, the Melbourne Demons or Tassie Hawks? Easy, Melbourne Demons. At least all our home games are in Melbourne (I think) and our young side has heaps of potential. Whereas Kennett's Tassie Hawks will likely only get one shot at a flag and if today's performance is anything to go on, they've blown it already.

    The Tasmanian Dorks have no depth (their VFL side is last) and after todays performance, a couple of injuries REALLY hurts them.

    Dork supporters don't need to worry about standing in line for a grand final ticket this year.

    Sick of hearing the hype on the radio after their win declaring that they are now premiership favourites. Spare me - it was 1st VS 16th! LOL

    But, their VFL side IS their VFL side - a true reserves, not an affiliate. They play who they like where they like - they are not dictated to by an affiliate, as we are, to some extent, by Sandy. Ideally, we'd have Cheney, Zomer et all playing in the VFL, and we'd be trying out a few Full forwards, which we can't do because of Sautner.

    • 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.
