Although I hate Essendon its probably a better result if they win. Ideally Sydney will be out of contention by the time we play them.

    Buddy is a strange bird. Rarely takes a one grab mark. It's like he wants to tap it forward in the marking contest to grab it second time

    Ridiculous that wasn't a free to Hurley

    Would have been ridiculous were the opponent not Buddy

    And for the second time tonight Hurley looked as if he was about to burst into tears.

    Can't ever like Essendon winning, but it suits me just fine if Sydney get the late-season stumbles.

    We'll beat the Swans on our day, on pure merit whatever the circumstances, but for the comfort of it I'd like to have a couple of indicators in advance that we'll crush them completely and I wont have to stress too much.

    How good is Mc-Tip? Great to watch

    Cameron Ling is so painful. Thanks God he was smart enough to realise he wasn’t up to coaching

    Wasn’t that a slam tackle by Parish?   Ball free already, and victim’s head slammed into the turf. No comment on ABC radio. Anything said on TV?

    All legal according to Ling. “ One motion BT, one motion”. 

    They are everyone’s second team again.

    Not Christian like, but will Christian like?   My get he will like especially if Bummers win.

    So you can bang an opponents head into the ground if it is in one action?

    With Sydney's downturn in form, this draw is opening up for us slightly. Win tomorrow and we're still in it up to our necks.

    That was a Luke Tapscott special from Haywood on the boundary line. A kick like that out on the full ended Tapscott's career.

    Tapscott was a poor footballer - way too top heavy

    Sydney getting peeled apart by ordinary sides 2 weeks in a row

    They're a massive risk of falling out of the 8

    I'd be shocked if we don't smash them based on how they're playing. Just gotta take care of Adelaide first.

    Essendon's 3 so-called big name recruits have shows a bit this year. Stringer, Saad and D Smith.

    Port Adelaide's scattergun recruits have done little this year. Watts, Rockcliff, Thomas, Trenners and Dom Barry.

    • 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.
