Port came with a bit of heat and fight at the very start of the game which I think actually sparked Geelong even more at quarter time - it's backfired big time as the Cats have stepped up and closed them down while creating run and overlap themselves.

Take note MFC - hit em hard and they crumble.

    What the hell happened to Port? Losing Richo and Walsh? Gaining Voss? Has Hinkley been found out?

    Oh Ok so maybe Deestroy all, you should refrain from posting coz many on this site might get tired of you constantly taking me to task!??

    Ad Nauseam! Eh?

    If you didn't blast people for discussing Toumpas, like the annoying hypocrite that you are, I wouldn't have responded to you at all. 

    But I agree it must be tiresome for some and I can't help myself sometimes.

    I don't personally consider calling other posters soft for having sympathy for a former player struggling at his new club a " Spirited discussion "

    the word i'd use is  " Weak"

    Weak? Interesting! "Sympathy" , such awasted emotion, "Empathy" is much more appropriate!

    Makes you think Walsh may have been the main man in Ports' early success.

    Richardson then Walsh were strong 2ic's 'chook', the spotlight certainly now come on to Hinkley and to a lesser extent Voss.

    I'd suggest most people wouldn't have ill feelings for Toump for no reason, and most would wish him well.

    but don't let that stop your pointless personal vendetta picket.

    Kochy has apologised for his premature 'disgrace' tweet.

    Might retract the apology tonight.

    To move on from the above waste of space...

    I love seeing North and the Dogs in first and second on the ladder (not a huge North fan but it's a different face at the top, which is a positive IMO).

    But it's Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn at 3, 4 and 5.

    The AFL needs those three clubs to fall apart. Hawthorn has already had to play the Dogs, Geelong, West Coast and Adelaide, hasn't had Roughead all year, hasn't even played that well, and has a 4-1 record. That sickens me.

    Personal Vendetta?? Thats a bit strong! I have no vendetta, just pointing out the facts!

    I have no personal Ill feelings towards Toumpas! 

    But thats Ok Pete, the world is such a Utopia of all encompasing and accepting place full of roses!

    Please, you have not said a nice thing about the kid, even before he was drafted it had already started and now you're calling posters soft for saying they feel for him when he's having a bad game. 

    Not sure what facts you think you're pointing out..

    I can guarantee he won't be as well, but he's not under any pressure either.

    Although Collingwood haven't played yet I still think Buckley. If Collingwood lose, Buckley will be the first coach to be sacked this season.

    • 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.
