Bruce at the two minute mark of the first quarter in a 2nd-round Friday night fixture: you get the feeling that it will be a low scoring affair, like all the goals were used up last week . . .

    You answered your own question. David King is very [censored] average!

    He's an elite idiot

    pies, 7 goals down with 5 mins to play, score last 2. Score 90 points, lose by 5 goals.

    From the Pies game...

    Pendles cops a knock to the ribs and is called "heroic" for getting of the ground and 'composing' himself to kick a goal. Can't remember who said it, but it happens way too often in way too many games. Look up the term heroic, commentators before using to describe a guy kicking a goal.

    I know why we didn't win this afternoon...we were too tired from playing Friday night as well!

    Pressing red for the Fox Sports news gives the scores for the round's games. Not only do they have the correct score for today, they have Port defeating us on Friday night as well.

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but has anyone else seen this weeks top 10 moments on the afl site? Number one is James Sicily taking an uncontested mark while Bob Murphy does his knee in the background, I  kid you not. I realise the moment includes Sicily kicking the game winning goal, but pretty poor taste to include the Murphy injury in the edit.

    Well, it is getting into late April.  Maybe they are warming up their rhetoric for the "wonderful heroes" from Collingwood and EssUndone "upholding the Anzac spirit" on Anzac Day.  Hearing that actually makes me spew, not that I will because I do not watch or listen to EssUndone games.  

    All it does is indicate how little the commentariat know about the horrors of war.

    Not a huge deal, but whichever muppet at the AFL did the highlights from our game is clearly a North supporter - 80% were North goals. Hopeless.

    Fotball commentators could learn something from Richie Benaud. Different sport, but same principles. In particular, number 4 and especially number 5 on this list.

    • 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.
