    I hope Port win.

    It means I can totally ignore the Grand Final next week.

    It will be like it's not even happening.

    BT is right. The two best sides are in the Grand Final. Port will be kicking themselves that they missed so many early.

    Unbelievable finish... Port have the goods to dominate for years and years. Good on them.

    Umps just handed Hawks a grand final place that holding the ball in last minute was rubbish, I hope the swans smash them

    Port were robbed at the end. That free kick that Hodge got wasn't there at all!

    Devastated.

    Chook you cannot make finals "easy" to win.

    The teams at 5-8 have to work harder to hold the cup.
    They lost more games than those above them during the season.

    Rubbish, Ports kicking lost them the game.

    The free against Gibson was not there which turned into the turn around. The Hodge free was there, you cant dive on the pill and not get it out.

    Robbed. They had momentum going into their forward 50 with a minute to go down by 4, that free gave hawks possession and from there they ran out of time.

    If that happened to us I'd be furious!!

    Port were not robbed at all. They made the same mistake as Fremantle last week, not capitalizing on their scoring shots. Any of those points changing to a goal is a win.

    Not dissimilar to our shocking inaccuracy which cost us multiple games this year.

    If port pick up Ryder and maybe another good player, they might just go all the way next year.

    • 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.
