    Bitterly disappointing exit for the lions after such a good regular season. Missing a lot of defenders I know but they have to tighten up defensively to have a chance of an SB

    18 players on injured reserve is insane. I think if they were healthy especially on D, they would make the SB

    The NFC North going 3 and out in the playoffs has exposed a few glaring weaknesses in the division ...

    Detroit need to strengthen their defence and/or get healthy on defence

    Minnesota probably need another QB after Darnold got exposed in their last 2 matches

    Green Bay need to get stronger on defense and with the passing game.  The run is ok but another Josh Jacobs type would be handy

    Bears need a year with Caleb Williams at the helm but need to surround him with a decent running game and not being relied upon re deep passes 

    A greater array of shot cut-out passes with a decent tight end involved wouldn't hurt

    What is everyone’s thoughts on the current playoff system…. I know the #1 seeds now get the week off (wether its an advantage or not) but it does seem cruel a side like Detroit can have such a good season & it’s one & done… My opinion is they should have something similar to our system where the top ranked sides have a second crack at it

    Yes, the danger with having the first week off is a rested top seeded team can come out rusty.  But the top seeds could always conduct heavily simulated practice on the wild-card weekend (maybe they do that already?)

    Green Bay succumbed to the Giants in the 2nd week of the playoffs in 2011/12 after a 15 & 1 season.  All over in a flash and a really empty feeling

    In that season, the NY Giants got hot at the business end of the season and ended up winning the SB.  In the previous season, the Packers got hot in the playoffs and won it all (as the 6 seed)

    But I wouldn't change their playoff system, JV.  It's incumbent on the seeded team to be ready to go and at their best

    The issue with Detroit today was that they didn't play very well and looked flat.  But that's on them

    Also, Washington played really really well and committed no errors.  They've now won 2 playoff games and have now reached the last 4

    One more win and they're in the Super Bowl ... who would have thought?

    They were saying the chiefs had a padded hit out on the Friday of the week off to help negate that. 
    I don’t mind the system, it’s super cut throat, tbh I sort of like that more than the double chance system we have.

    Just cant stop their run game. 
    I reckon in the off season we will target a inside linebacker/middle linebacker for the run game.

    Fair observation. 

    More often than not at least 1 one seed team makes the superbowl each year so it does help to get that rest in especially if you're an older or banged up team. 

    I also like the do or die nature of this playoff system where these games are the ones that you absolutely must perform in. Every now and then you do get some heartbreak stories like the Minnesota Vikings of 1998 who went 15-1 only to go down by 3 points in the NFC Championship game to the Falcons.

    A week off and home field advantage which would mean more in the NFL than AFL seems to be enough of an incentive I guess.

    This game is probably going to come down to yards on the ground. Eagles lead despite having 25 passing yards.

    If he Rams played to hold them when they were 3rd and long from their own 5 instead of giving up 16 to a barkly screen we would have had the ball in good position. We didnt give up points but we could have had a chance to score and start the second half with the ball.

     

    We need to score out of the break, must equalise at minimum.

    Bah! Looking great and the hand off to Williams slipped out of Staffords hand and stalled the play.

    13-13 now.

    It's that kind of game, execution won't be easy.

    • 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.
