Grimes the sub

I'll never understand this... Grimes was one of the BOG last weekend, equal high in disposals and kicked a goal yet named sub? He played better than most of the team last weekend and the club is treating him like s**t. For his sake, I hope he finds a new club who respects him because Roo's clearly wants him out.

Had it on a string mate.

ha ha MCQUEEN you ledgend
 

How many goals do you reckon we will concede in the first quarter?

The usual 8

Agree with this. Selection this year and subs have been unfathomable at times.


There's zero chance we'll be within 10 goals. I just hope Hogan kicks a bag.

such a pessimist... I have no doubt we will be right up there with them on the score board... right up to the time that someone bounce the ball and starts the game.

The clubs strategy with the sub mystifies me. Thank God it will be gone next year by all accounts. It's a blight on the competition.

Combined score the last 3 weeks in the 1st quarter we are down 21 goals to 3

8.


I'm no fan of Riley but if a player is to be the sub then surely he is better suited than Grimes.

I would think that Roos will be looking for Riley to make a significant impact early in the game

Still playing Supers and Master grades.

Go for the Interstate Carnival rep team. Pretty easy to get a gig if you have the time. It's in Tassy this year in October. There are big benches which explains how I get a game. That and the fact that there are not that many idiots over 55 still running around. I think they call us legends, my wife has another name for us? Who do you play for in WA. We are Coburg, not great in the youngsters by our team went okay.


The dread has settled right in now.

Thats why beer was invented. Sweet liquor eases the pain.

Lets be honest... Its going to be very ugly..

I'll try to be positive, this game has an air of that Collingwood game.

We'll know in the first 10 minutes which team has showed up, if any.

Why am I watching this?


Apparently, according to Paul's guru, if we all have positive thoughts we will romp this one in.

 

Dwayne to commentate. Super.

You beat me to it. We always seem to draw the short straw with him.

3 minutess in and no Freo goal. Going to be close!

  • 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 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.
