Is there or has there ever been a worse football coverage than Channel 7? I know they have to make a buck but could they possibly organise it so that there is not 100% aggravation for the poor viewer. It's an insult to have to repeatedly suffer intolerable lengthy ad breaks often after only 30 secs of play. Only bearable way to do it is of course record it and ff the ads, and even that is sure to keep your remote finger busy. Made a commitment to never watch the Channel 7 3pm replay "live" ever again.

    RESPECT by The Oracle (with a little help from Sam the Stats Man) ... I’m tipping the Western Bulldogs to win this game over a much improved Melbourne but at least the margin of 25 points will be respectable in comparison to the one we saw at the end of that game earlier in the year.

    If Morton slots that shot late in the game the result is the Doggies by 25. Close but no ceegar!!!

    bell has been quite tight defensively, he always is. his problem hasnt been restricting his man, it has been turning it over when he has had the ball, specifically awareness issues and getting caught with the ball.

    That's how I've seen it - less about what his man does, and more about what he does with the ball.

    I also agree with you regarding Bode being quite unobtrusive. I think the Sandy coaches report has mentioned working on his counter-attack, so he can take that to AFL level.

    Prved to me even more today, he serves no purpose, not one good bit of play, fumbly, indecisive, poor skills!

    Not 1 person can say that he did ANYTHING today to warrant his place!

    NExt week, out: Bell In: Petterd

    Hmmm. There were alot of Predictions that Juice would kick 5-7 goals..............................

    One word: Incorrect.

    Stewards summary on Newton: Better for the run, Appeared hesitant in the going, dropped a few marks he should of taken. Should of passed to Sylvia on the lead in the 1st quarter but elected to shoot from 50m on the boundary - Result out of Bounds! Sylvia sledged him too. Bad choice. Back to the paddock advised.

    Morton to have 21 touches

    Wow im good B)

    People bagging Bells game today, you realise he played on Brad Johnson for alot of the game, and had him pretty well covered? He certainly wasnt our worst today. Get off his back.

    Juice was ok with poor delivery, still got alot of work ahead of him though if he's going to be an AFL footballer.

    On a completely unrelated note, did anyone see Trent Cotchins game vs the Eagles? That kid is really special. He will mesmerize people in the future that's for sure! Pity he wasnt around at pick 4 :( Still pretty happy with Morton :)

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
