I like to spread my animosity widely. However, I have decided I currently hate two things above all else. Brad Scott and Chris Scott. For that reason I'm praying for an upset at the G today.

With all the stupid markets betting agencies offer on each game, why don't they offer a price on free kick counts? Would it be too easy to pick?

Bookies would be wiped out after the first Weagles match.

Totally understandable. I'm hoping for a scrappy sh!tty game that neither side can take anything positive from.

Don't forget an injury or two

Watching the Cats game right now, I don't feel so bad about our game against the Bombers as I did at 1 o'clock this afternoon.

Daniher's 'stache gets ripped off leading to a total face reconstruction and 12 months out.

Cant stand Geelong and how the AFL bends over backwards for them and I cant stand Dangerfield

Amazing, you take one guy out of the coaches' box and suddenly Essendon are much easier to cheer for.

 

To be fair, I'm not so much cheering for Essendrug but hoping for the demise of that sanctimonious fcuk

By my count, Geelong have kicked 1.14 in their last 15 scoring shots.....

To me, a team that kicks like that deserves to lose.

Don't disagree! But unfortunately it doesn't look like they will. Have kicked two majors since.....

Geelong's had 16 scoring shots in the second half (4.12) to Essendon's 2 (1.1).

If Geelong had lost they would have had no one to blame but themselves, but they've won because they deserve to win.

Nonetheless, it shows Essendon is going to push some sides this year (other than us). On current form, Brisbane would have to be worried about picking up the spoon this year.

Have St Kilda gone past us?

level against the premiers at 3qtr time.

I'm pretty sure they were past us last year. Not by much but their ageing stars help them. We don't have that.

My hatred of umpires gifting Hawthorn with Free kicks is inflamed by Fox commentators agreeing with them.

Now I only watched the last qtr but dare I say the Saints were robbed?? 2 uncalled 15m marks in a row and then that one that hawthorn took the advantage and were given it back!

Hard to beat Hawthorn when they have the umps on their side.

Saints are on the way up. Great drafting, kept experience around to ease the youngsters in. Saints and Dogs setting standards on how to rebuild after falling. That was a great tussle. 

Damm Hawks! I picked St Kilda in my footy tipping and nearly pulled off an upset! We better show the Saints the same respect we gave the Roos (c.f. the lack of respect we showed the Bombers)!

  • 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.
