Look at these teams tonight. Handballing to running players.

Keep the ball moving...The opposite to the way we play!!!

How novel!

I really would have liked to see the team there tonight with Roos pointing out to them exactly what is needed to be a decent team.

    Whoever suggested we should be chasing Gary Rohan should tune into this game and hang their head in shame.

    I've never rated him. How he can get a game and yet Mitchell can't I will never know.

    Bizarre.

    He was chugging along okay before his injury. Has been worse than garbage since coming back.

    Can't judge him on one half of footy. I wouldn't write him off yet.

    He's a slightly richer man's Sam Blease.

    really interesting and exciting to watch a team with 10% extra in its salary cap finishing on top and winning finals at home

    Not

    We are a long way off these two sides today at their best, but so are most other sides except Hawthorn.

    A bit more than that. He's playing in one of the top teams in the comp, Sam can't get a game in one of the bottom teams.

    Thought Rohan was pretty good in the 2nd half.

    4 goals for Pav. Freo are absolutely screwed once he retires. Lyon will be getting out of there the same day I reckon.

    Would love to have Luke Parker.

    Parker and Hannebery would't that lift our mid field?

    It's going to be some time before I see the likes of Sydney bottoming out. This is starting to look like the EPL where only 6 teams can win the flag.

    Especially not when they potentially get top 5 picks almost ever year regardless of where they place on the ladder. Academies, just fantastic aren't they?

    i think we saw the GF preview today, Sydney to beat them again in the big dance.

    I want both Scott brothers to drop out in straight sets.

    Bliss.

    Both are snot dribbling, whiney, hot air balloon faced mumas boys.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
