Honestly SaberFang, today p155ed me off. We're lining up to praise Paul Roos after we've been belted by 111 points. It's a cricket score. And there are clubs above us (considerably so) who will now get better players into their clubs. Equalisation is a crock.

Thank God for Richmond is all I can say. I'd still rather support our rabble than theirs!

    Especially considering they've consistently played finals for so many years, but never gained any traction off it. It seems to be across the board though, even Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond fans have given up attending.

    What do you expect with the same [censored] teams in the top 4 every bloody year?

    Any chance GWS might get a free kick?

    The AFL has ignored real supporters and traditional clubs for too long now. And it's becoming clearer that supporters are less likely to go if they can't see the next year being much different to the last. Eventually it will catch up on the league or at least I hope it does.

    The afl has forgotten that clubs sell hope.

    Hope that your team can win today.

    Hope that your team will play finals

    Hope that if things go your way you might snatch a flag

     

    Now we hope for 7 wins. Or for finals in a few years.

    Brisbane fans hope for finals in 3 or 4 years.

    Why bother going if theres no hope of any succcess except in the extremely long term?

    No one is gonna go if they are just hoping for a loss by less than 10 goals.

    That first stanza is 'I have a dream' and 'Yes we can' like Biggestred!

    Is it purely Etihad shithole that people are tired of attending or is the 'G down this year as well?

    I noticed Sportsbet went early during the week offering odds for the first weeks off the finals, they didn't factor in West Coast beating the Crows last night. The way it's going is 

    Swans v Giants 

    Cats v Hawks

    Crows v North 

    Eagles v Dogs

    So North end up losing both of their final 2 games, as predicted. Won't just be our club kicking themselves for throwing away a chance at 8th spot.

    Even if the Saints made it they would face a Adelaide at home. A tough assignment at the best of times.

    North supporters on Thursday 'how could they do this to our champions?'

    North supporters on Saturday '...I'm not actually going to go to the game'

    There's a noticeably better on-field attitude at the Giants than with our kids. Certainly no sulking from their key forwards, they just get on with it.

    Starting to wonder if this is a coaching problem and nobody wants to bring Hogan to account. His body language is pathetic and surely brings teammates down with him.

    I'm worried they confuse his juvenile behaviour as a sign of competitiveness. And thus it's somehow acceptable, provided it's kept in moderation.

    Wow I wonder if the nth fans protested by not showing up. 22,000 in your final game when your team is playing finals. Anyway it was a good game to footy to watch. havent really sat down to watch GWS. But they were just to good for nth. Not a happy week for nth fans.

    Anyway richmond thanks for going out in sympathy with us and also cop a belting. I wonder if Richmond will cop more of a pasting than our loss. Because our coach has now gone and we are now into our succession plan. But Dimma is still there and keeps talking up his list and saying next year they will play finals.

    Geelong must be regretting letting S. Johnston go. He's the icing on the cake for GWS.

    Lucky he didn't play against us, there would have been an abundance of icing.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
