Around the League Round 6

Featured Replies

Posted

It has only been four days since the last footy match which, as a contest, sucked (although I can't say I was too terribly sad to see Essendon take a hiding). Looking forward to this rounds matches, I see a round of potential extremes. I have a feeling that the games will either be close (under 2 goals) or massively lopsided. Anyway, we shall see what the future holds.

 

I'm disgusted that our government has stopped funding our disabled athletes from cheating their way to Olympic glory. 

A C.:;; t Affair has opened my eyes to how devious these disabled people are.

I'm intrigued by tonight's match. 

Given the Bulldog's injuries, i'm not yet convinced that they can cover the absentees. Yes they've played well, and you can only defeat the opposition in front of you. But the only teams they've beaten are Carlton, St Kilda, Brisbane (all 1-4) and Fremantle (0-5). Yes they ran Hawthorn close, but so did St Kilda.

Tonight should give a good indication of where they're at. I actually hope they win. Can't stand the poos!

Very intriguing match for sure. Could be the top 2 after Round 6, but funnily enough I dont see either team playing off in the GF

It is always beer o'clock somewhere in the world.

I just want the Bullies to win tonight; tipping a winning margin of 17-27. Hope they win by more.  Really, really don't want the Kangaroos to win.  Don't know why, but I really don't like the team and never have.

 

Did anyone watch the openning on channel 7? The commentators getting title shots like their starring in some Hollywood blockbuster!

We don't give a 5hit about the commentators, just show us the footy!!!!

Should be a good game, i reckon North will really struggle against sides like Hawthorn and Sydney because they don't have a great defense

exactly, they can afford follies like that but can't even film at better than 576i resolution ffs

Shocking deliberate call against Thompson before!

Bulldogs being found out a bit tonight, they lack that big target up forward to kick to.  Lots of their entries inside 50 are to small or medium size forwards, North picking them off too easily.

I think it's more the lack of good kicks off HB, they're not as composed going forward. They're missing some class and it does show but I wouldn't write them off yet...

absolutely stupid.  Anyone (but rjay apparently) can see he was hitting it to a team mate but hit it too hard.

Every time I see Norf play, they seem to get an amazingly good run with the maggots.

Frees currently 6-12 in the Dogs favour.

Norf getting a fantastic ride from the maggots, again.

Not just 50/50 frees paid but also those not paid.

How was that "handball" by their defenders right in front of Dogs' goal.  And 7 refuse to comment.  Very ordinary. 


Bit of Richmond about the dogs tonight. Too many sideways handballs, not enough instinctual kicking. 

Flipside North are carving them up by foot. 

 

OMG shepherd to Norf when the Norf guy actually dragged him off.

Corruption at AFL runs deep

  • 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.

  • 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.
