Last week you said that Seb Gotch and Dan Worrall weren’t up to it!  (despite Worrall being possibly the best swing bowler in the country). All of a sudden they are legends. You also canned Zampa who is a walk up start for the World Cup squad.

You’re a great judge mate!  Thankfully you are not a cricket selector.

They both surprised me I think your overrating Worrall he's played 1 good game plenty of good bowlers ahead of him, prefer Boland not sure what's happened to him.

Zampa may make the squad but he's no certainty to be in the best 11. I do get a bit emotional though the bowling against the Heat was [censored].

    The track is a decent one (albeit a little slow) but the Renegades need to find a way to get to 140-150 (currently 5-102 off 16 overs) 

    Haven't watched much this year but I've tuned in for the final without any allegiance for either side.

    I'll repeat the same thing I did against the Heat. Too many holes in the team. Maddinson must retire the worst cricketer I've seen in a long time.

    Bit of fun here but any club that Eddie has involvement with normally chock. That would have to be the worst effort I have seen from so called professional cricketers.

    And possibly a great fillip for the caper too DD.  I watched it and was a little bored until the great collapse happened.  Then I was totally engaged. 

    Eddie pre-match talking about the Stars winning as being like Collingwood winning a GF just added to the aftermath-drama.   There is now a divide between the Stars & Rengades with villains on both sides.  A geographic divide too by the looks of it.

    The rest of the teams and comp come along for the ride.  Rivalries & tribalism can happen elsewhere - it's what the Big Bash needs.  Fantasy sports surrounding t20 could become popular too.

    They just have to get all the scheduling right.

    Go the mighty Stars they are a lot better than last year and it is their championship to lose. Stoinis and Maxwell in fine form.

    3 losses in a row now troubling times. Stoinis so important to the team needs to get runs on Friday.

    Big front runners as in the past and struggle big time if Stoinis and Maxwell fail. No back up in the batting at all. Heat if they get in or Sixers for me. Stars are just like the morning. They are fading.

    How bad are the stars? They can't bat. Gotch and Larkin aren't up to it and Maddinson is a dud. Well it looks like we will go out in straight sets disappointing us again.

    Very little chance of the final going ahead by the looks of it.  The rain doesn't look like stopping up North

    And to not play the actual final is truly backwater stuff.  And I have no dog in the fight as I have very little interest in t20 cricket as a while

    But you've got to play the final .. it's no longer 1978.

    As it's turned out we've got a match after all ... that ground drains well.

    Can your lads chase down 116 in 12 overs? ... if Maxwell,  Stoinis or Handscomb get going it's certainly achievable.

    I'm just glad the game went ahead ... with no reserve day we could have seen an embarrassing outcome for the new form of cricket.

    T20 isn't my cup of tea but the shortened version does offer a lot more pathways for young cricketers. Helps the sport as a whole.

    And now it's raining again.  Ugh.

    Stars did their normal thing and chocked big time. Never liked teams with no guts and that is in all sports. This stars team have none at all. Front runners and pretty boys. Marcus hits it to some one that just moved there and Maxy goes the big slog against a class bowler and misses.Game over as they have no decent back up although Larkin has proved himself. The rest of the Batters should get back to club cricket quick.

  • Quote

    Well a disappointing end should have batted first but at least we didn't go out in straight sets. Larkin proved his worth. Cartwright going down was a blow. Maddinson and Dunk are duds and should be delisted. Sixers too strong but if we can make a few changes we will be right up there again.

    • 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.
