Round 13 Non - MFC Games

Featured Replies

Posted

The round starts early this week with Port vs Bulldogs tonight at Adelaide Oval.

Some important games this weekend:

- Top 4 play each other - Big 8 point games.  Potential Home Final at stake:

  • 3rd vs 1st:  Swans vs Eagles
  • 4th vs 2nd:  Geelong vs Tigers.

- Top 8 aspirants:

  • 11th vs 10th:  Hawks vs Crows

The other two games are Freo vs Carlton and GCS vs Saints.  Freo to take care of Carlton who seem happy to get the wooden spoon again (and the draft spoils that go with it).  And GCS and Saints will be some sort of scraggy arm wrestle.

 

 

Gold Coast vs. St. Kilda could be one of the worst spectacles ever put on in an AFL game.

Hoping for a miracle and the Doggies causing an upset but I can't see it happening.

I find my level of interest in football overall diminishes when we have a bye. And I have zero interest in games on a Thursday (other than a Thursday night before a public holiday on a Friday). Is it just me?

 

 

What is the Bradbury plan here

I think I would prefer WCE to do over the Eagles to give us a chance at top 4. Eagles pretty much unassailable for top 2 anyway.

Cats/Tigers I am in two minds. Erring for Tigers. They're a game ahead anyway?

Crows/Hawks, want to lose whomever has the easiest run home and I think it's the Hawks?

I like the idea of Thursday night games more than I actually like watching them.

Yep. I'd watch footy on any night of the week. Thursday's are almost like a surprise because I'm not expecting it. And every couple of hours I think 'Hey, there's footy on tonight!'

Will be interested to watch port but the conditions might be bad. Basically a poor game though I think.

 

Practicing throwing all of 2016 has really cost the Bulldogs footskills. 

Dogs look like a VFL side ATM 


The Dogs are a joke at the moment.  Port could theoretically be 8 goals up already if Marshall hasn't missed a few easy ones.  How the hell they won a flag in 2016 is beyond me.

Not sure which is worse, the Dogs or the Umpires.

This is god awful. Bevo has done more ks than half the players.

Loving the look of the Doggies.  Really giving Port  a big test before we play them next week.  And I was worried they'd run the Power into red hot form.... so silly!

So who do we put on Wines next week? 

The games this weekend on free to air arent to bad. Tonights is ok, tomorrow night Sydney v WC will be a cracker and Saturday night Hawthorn Adelaide will be interesting and its a shame we don't get Geelong Richmond on sunday arvo.

Lee Harvey Oswald...

thoroughly bored sh!tless watching this good awful game tonight... 

only watching as we play port next week. half time may just put me to bed

I see nothing about port that worries me. The umpiring in the 1st quarter in favour of port was ridiculous. Dixon is an absolute [censored]


Well....Doggies applied better pressure in their forward half that quarter and caused some turnovers from Port defenders. Port did get a couple of cheap goals against the grain though.

We also have to come up against Lindsay Thomas next week as well. Great. 

Isn't that the bloke who's been racking up posessions in the walpeup 2nds?

  • 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.
