The Swans are in the box seat now. Whoever wins this will be tired and sore.

Indeed chook - I just made the same comment to the squeeze. And you can add in an extra day for recovery.

    Heath Shaw certainly loves mouthing off against his teammates.  I wonder how effective it is.....or counterproductive?

    Not so certain. Was it last year or the years before or maybe both, Hawks had a tough PF, opponents an easy one.......

    any chance Stringer could do something for his team probably same goes for Cameron for GWS. 

    How funny is it when heath Shaw just goes off his head at his teammates. When that last goal was kicked he went nuts at them.

    Half time, top game. Dogs to win this, all they have to do is get someone from Footscray to tell Shaw in front of his own players to "stop abusing your players"

    Get the feeling that one side will break this open in the 3rd.

    Giants wasting Mummy's dominance while Roughhead off.

    Makes you wanna puke when you see all these sell outs and free picks running around on the verge of making the grand final. 

    If there is a footy god, Doggies get up!

    Luke Darcy's barracking is puke inducing. I want to punch him through the screen.

    This is the new umpiring (AFL) rationale of not favouring GWS. From now on boys, don't pay any free kicks at all.

  • Quote

    Scully seems to handball first rather than kick. Gets it a lot but is not damaging as his handballs tonight have not released players.

    Like him or not Heath Shaw is  a big part of this team. He has been well held so far.

    Interesting that key forwards are having no influence. Mediums and smalls seem to be the modern way.

    Getting a bit sick of all these GWS hits to the face away from the play and right in front of umpires, Picken & just then Dickson.

  • Quote

    The Giants have the chance to prove they are not just parasites draining the game of any community goodwill the Afl has built up in over 150 years,mostly a by the Mfc.

    Hard not to get excited by them.

  • Quote

    Scriptwriter is lazy and cruel, GWS are obviously going to finish this game off in a 5 min patch despite being dominated. Such is the fate of the team that has a premiership drought and nervously misses shots all day.

    Dogs playing like dumb mutts.

    And letting themselves get physically intimidated.

    Umpiring degenerating to new lows.

    The whole commentary team is a disgrace.......to humanity. 

    Time for Bont and Skinner to stand up.

    Lack of marking forward is killing them.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
