I was actually talking about Tom Boyd. 

He's been good too.

Just brilliant to watch!

Bloke I used to work with has flow over to this from Melb, he's a mad Eagles fan.. Hahahha a fun red eye home!


Loving this.

Well aren't the Meth Coke huge pretenders.

There's nothing you can't love about watching West Coast play awfully on their own home ground. It's a lot harder when the umpires don't gift you the game.

Amazing that the Dogs have done so well with Stringer having absolutely no impact (until that goal) and the Bont quiet for more than a half.

A very well-deserved win.

 

Go dogs

 

Jack Darling oh dear a couple really really poor errors tonight 

Darling with a finals footy moment to remember. 


They're a slick outfit the Doggies ... and their teamwork is immense.

They'll trouble whoever they play next Friday night

Feels a lot like West Coast has done a Melbourne with this one (except we obviously never do this in finals). Just feels a bit like they thought they had the win before they started playing. Selection error (dropping Jetta for a tall and then being cut up by the Dogs' run), some of their stars playing selfish football (it feels like a team vs 22 individuals).

If the Dee's can just clone Bontempelli, Dalhaus and Daniel I think we'd be a real shot at a premiership

Yep i agree. Dogs took them on from the first bounce. 

Great to hear Basil's commentary...

I love watching the West Coast midfielders duck their heads into tackles and then, when the umpire correctly refuses to pay a free for a high tackle, the midfielder has no idea what to do next.

The crowd know what to do though.

That was absolutely heart breaking.

Can't wait to hear Tim Gosage on SEN tomorrow morning. He was on today raving about Eagles and how they were super confident of tonight and going deep into finals.. Ox was all over him and asked him if he would be in tomorrow if Eagles lost

One thing it tells you, if you have pace, good disposal and effort, you can be a good side, even without a great key forward.

Caleb Daniel is a gun. Is so composed and doesn't waste a possession. 

Well done to Luke Beveridge. Never heard him complain about their constant injuries or use youth as an excuse for lack of effort. Hopefully Goodwin takes a leaf out of his book.


If the Cats beat the Hawks, then every non Hawks fan, will be supporting the Dogs next week.

Hate to sound like a broken record but to all those who excused our last two games on the basis that we were young or tired.... have a look at what a "TEAM" can do.

They had every right after their incredibly bad run with injuries  and then ending up with the almost impossible finals assignment to say... we are too young and too tired but they played to their strengths and won easily.

Yes ... I am very jealous !!!

The underdogs became the victorious Bulldogs. A win for the good guys.  Makes me think that there is a footy God after all. I would walk on hot coals to see them beat the Hawks or the Cats. What a beautiful thing that would be. 

 

So so happy for the Dogs. At least there is one team in the finals that don't make me sick to my stomach.

They were fantastic tonight, and credit to them for not giving up despite their mounting injury list. Here's hoping they knock out Whorethon next week!

Well done Doggies!!  Its great to see the Weagles bomb out on their own dunghill. Particularly pleasing for me as a Victorian living in Perth.

Kennedy has not fired tonight which doesn't surprise as he has always been a down hill skier. Most of his goals have been against the lowly teams where he kicked a few bags. Hope the Doggies can repeat the dose on Geelong or Hawthorn next week.

  • 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.
