Frenetic pace but turnovers ++ from both sides. 

 

Fast game, but the kicking skills are terrible tonight.

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

He's an AFL footballer not a park player...

umpiring is a joke

Agree with you on this one though 'sue', it's making a mockery of the game.

 

What was that Ziebell half time intrview? The guys playing a game and hes sitting down at halftime with headphones on talking to Carey and Ling.. could tell he had zero interest in doing it

Channel 7 are the worst

Shocking disposal by foot.

They're the worst those interviews aren't they! Next thing you know they'll start interviewing players while they're lining up for goal.

Not unexpected that so many disposal errors are occuring. The  game this year with its frenetic focus on attack is like a crap shoot. Our last game had plenty of them for both sides. And for us it's hasn't hurt us at all like in the past.

Geez the doggies are missing Suckling, Bob and JJ

 

Reckon North are getting a tough run. Both Goldstein & Higgins have taken marks that the umpires didn't pay.

The Higgins one has probably cost them a goal.

They are a young team, take out three of their best, most experienced players and they were always going to be in trouble. Tonight is just showing me, yet again, how overrated I think Norf are

Correct call re Higgins in front of goal by ump IMO

North exposing Bulldogs lack of key position players at either end.

Anyone else think Stringer has gone backwards? i haven't been at all impressed with anything he's done this year.

Not a great game of footy. 

Dogs look to be overrated. A top 4 contender should be able to cover a couple of injuries  their composure and know cling inside 50 have been horrible

wells and Waite are adding a lot to the Roos this year. Reckon they'll be top 4


Footscray lack of talls at both ends being severely exposed by Norf talls

Arrogant/narcissist...........take your pick

# Doesn't mean i wouldn't have him in the Red & Blue though!

Edited by Demon Disciple

Anyone care to guess how Stringer can run the ball over the line while being tackled and it's not deliberate while Luke McDonald spoils a marking contest and gathers the ball as it's going over the line but gets called on it?

This new ruling on it is a joke!

It's their kicking skills that are being missed most 'Rod' along with the composure and experience of Murphy.

The lack of talls could be covered if they were using the ball better, but they're not.

I think he's been listening to the Ablett snr comparisons and trying to take mark of the year...he's not but he is good as shown by that great give to Dahlhaus...

I must aye I cannot remember - were the Scott Bros such pathetic whingers as players?  It is almost a joke watching both in the coaching box

Are the players, and coaches for that matter, under some obligation to take those interviews during a game?  Absolutely hate it

I agree, looks a bit sooky, too

Is this the worst 1st v 2nd match ever?

  • 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.
