Good to see Nichols umpiring this game,let's hope Razor is also busy elsewhere besides the G on Sunday night.

No Razor sunday night. We have got that ump that short changed the saints last week. 

But what a good game so far. Eddie Betts just on fire and cannot believe Tex Walker was just standing alone in the forward line and took the simple mark. 

Great to see Kyle still getting a game. He is just a battler who does his job and keeps his spot.

    That umpire that gave the super soft free to the dorks is not a required umpire. Back to the EDFL for him (or perhaps somewhere further east maybe Cann River)

    Great game of footy at the moment.

    Am I the only one that doesn't rate Ling as a commentator?  Feel like he is ALWAYS talking, sometimes during important moments that Dennis or Bruce should actually be commentating on, and most of it is drivel.

    Your probably right. However there's so many poor commentators around at the moment, he doesn't bother me to much compared to others.

    The sling tackle is very much back in vogue, last week against us the pies were all over it and tonight the Hawks have got away with a few. 

    Must be ok unless you concuss someone.

    He isn't as bad as some, true, but I find myself yelling at the screen for him to shut up more often that I'd like.  It seems after every passage of play he is pontificating about anything that comes into his head.

    When he was with us I swear the surname was pronounced differently. The first e wasn't pronounced as a long vowel, or was that just me?

    Just you. He was "Fetta" Cheney at the Dees, "Bocca" at the Hawks. 

    Not sure what the Crows are running with. 

    Brilliant game and by the way.

    Same ump got upset last week and gave a 50 because a player disagreed with his decision....very soft.

    At least we don't have him this week either.

    Cicily should play for North.

    Rory Sloane is right up there with the best mids in the comp for mine, an absolute jet on the inside and out.

    I'm enjoying this game but not looking forward to us playing either of these 2 teams.

    Umpires have absolutely handed this game to Hawthorn. 

    As is tradition.

    Adelaide robbed.  That free against Tex for front on contact when he had it running into open goal cost them the game

    Right at the end the hawks player got possesion, looked for the Adelaode players and went into them to get tackled to take up time, then dropped it. Should have been a free!

    • 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?

    • 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.
