Happy days @Dappa Dan - on the board!!

I felt for sure I'd mozzed us when @Macca pointed out my mistake.

OMG, just watched the Titans v Eagles game, can't believe we got up, especially after quite possibly the most boring game I've ever seen last week against the Jags. Titan Up! 

No doubt about it that was a great, great win by your boys. Eagles sucked but take nothing away from Mariota. That had to be earned and they did it.

    Damn ... forgot to record today's game - hate that.  Did the whole media blackout etc,  just got home,  turned on the tele and there's nothin'.  Not gonna make it til 11.30pm so I'll just have to make do with the highlights.  Must have been some kind of comeback by KC led by Mahomes yeah?

    0 - The usual gang

    A big 2 points up for grabs for week 5 ... I'm posting up the games early to get it all out of the way.   Tuesday evenings it will be then - probably late in the evening generally.  Not sure there's many standout road winners though (again)

    Seems stopping Mahomes from scrambling to the right is the key to shutting him down. If it is possible. Guess Sacksonville will give it a red hot crack next Monday.

    I’ve not been very impressed with Jacksonville this year. I expected more. Maybe too much.

    I've liked what I've seen. Still think they'll be there in the AFC championship game.

    They will be there abouts but I just expected more. Maybe marking them too hard

    Probably should be 4-0 but the Tacks get us every [censored] time. As long as the D keep the opposition to a low score Bortles doesn't have to do too much. Fournette hardly taking the field does not help. He may not be back until Week 10.

    I've quite literally only seen some highlights of the bloke ... missed yesterday's game so will have to wait until week 6 when KC are at the Pats (SNF) to watch him in a full game.

    It's only a very loose assessment. He's a great improviser and mover when he strafes and throws on the run. His QB rating is a whopping 125, and it only goes down to 90 when under pressure. But that's probably the only comparison to Rodgers. Rodgers probably the way bigger deep ball.

    I see what you mean. I had them only thereabouts... I feel like you had them very high. Expectation the culprit.

    Gee hasn't the league stood up and taken notice of what we knew a year ago. Rams are the best team in footy.

    The best... still not convinced. Eagles are reigning SB champs and have Wentz back, not in top form yet, but building, Pats are the Pats, Steelers seem to have hit a wall and no bell to ring shows how much they relied on him. But he will play from game 8 it seems.

    Chiefs O is insane, their D not so great. 

    Rams are good, getting quite worried about the injuries mounting with Easley now going onto IR.

    Hope we get Brockers back in the next few weeks.

    I've struggled with time to watch much this season, started a new job 6 months ago & moved out of home 12 months ago so really struggling with time to watch much at all. Barely get time to watch the Falcons so have hardly been across the rest of the comp. Disappointing ?

    You haven't been watching Eagles lol. They're not what they were last year. OL was disgraceful on the weekend. Johnson the All pro right tackle has fallen off a cliff completely. Wentz was hit something like 13 times. And their D line isn't getting to the QB, which is putting pressure on the secondary. All their worst fears are coming to pass.

    I love Chiefs. No doubt their D could improve, and should. But with an offense like that with Hunt, Mahomes, Kelce and Hill. That's terrifying.

    • 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.
