Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon. I think they're the only 3 Victorian teams left in the competition. At least that's what it seems like when reading the papers. In fact, over the past 2 weeks, I would not think it ludicrous if someone added up the stats and told me that 50% of all football-related articled were about Collingwood.

My Age subscription is not worth the 25 bucks and the HS is probably worse from the odd days i bother to open it. I'm sick of it. Does anyone else feel the same? There's my 2cents for the day.

    Well I mean lets face. Barely anyone ( in comparison to other clubs ) support the Dees, so why would they want to read about them.

    News papers still have a job, to sell papers.

    Until we start performing or at least so some signs of improvement or even have something decent to report (sponsorship anybody), expect the articles to be far and few in between.

    Personally, I don't think we have done so bad this pre season.

    Correct, unless its really bad news or really good news you wont hear much about: Stkilda, Richmond, Bullies or melbourne and to a lesser extent the blues and essendon. Collingwood is the exception to rule. They are the slow news day fillers. Lets face it for the last 18 mths we have been making the papers generally for the wrong reasons, but in recent times things are starting to look better. Just wait until some of our recruits start winning games for us!

    I can't remember the last thing I heard about Richmond that didn't involve someone being hit by a tram or the recruitment of a 31 year old

    Todays paper has a lovely article on Richmond, much in the same ilk as the Ben Holland thing, but with Richo, Brown and Johnson. The AFL need to start investigating these little under the table deals at Richmond

    I wonder what comes first ... the chicken or the egg.

    Does the media follow the supporters ... or does the supporters follow the media.

    Then do the "big" sponsorships deals follow the supporters or follow the media.

    There in lies the answer.

    ....and further more, remember,

    "No news is good news"

    Couldn't agree more. Very little in the way of good news gets reported at this time of year so sometimes it's a good thing to be ignored.

    As a sidenote: why do Colling@#$* get so much space in the papers when their supporters can't read?

    • 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?

    • 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.
