hope the afl gets sued by in coming years with its tolerance of headhunting teams like hawthorn. sickens me how taking out playmakers is seen as a legitimate, manly trait of our game by MRP and rulemakers. ball players like johnson and chapman will be front of the queue.

    I agree - on another note watching this game reminds me how good footy can be. After watching our games week after week I forget what great footy looks like.

    Suck it up, Hawthorn.

    ps Matthews on Giles, Dipper on Flower, Guerra on Bruce... Dees don't forget.

    nothing wrong with guerra's hit on pods. hit him in the chest, shouldn't even have been a free kick. umpire only called it because pods threw his head back.

    Can't stand Geelong.

    It's amazing to watch players work hard for each other.

    Can't stand Hawthorn anyone who was at the games in '87 & '88 knows exactly what I mean.

    Guerra will get three for hit on Chapman, will get off on bump to Podsiadly and Shiel will get three for elbow off the ball on Christensen. I think there was another but I can't remember.

    Great game though. Hawkins has really come of age. Took him a few years. I hope Cook gets a bit longer to see if he can make it.

    True. Those two days in the stands are burned in my memory as a young lad.

    I have forgotten a lot of things, but not that.

    who took out the geelong player in their second last goal? it was slightly off camera. a high shot.

    Glad that geelong won in the end, the love for hawthorn would have been nauseating

    Now that Hawthorn and Geelong have played off for Bronze, Melbourne and the Schoolies will go for Gold and Silver.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
