This is good for us! Opens up the top 4, but more importantly means if we win tomorrow we are a lot safer in the 8. 

Port play Pies next week.

 

Now come on brisbane pull a miracle out of the hat and beat those pies. 

About to watch the gws crows game. Barracking hard for the crows. 

Hilarious!!

great result for us. Pies beat Port next week and we beat Sydney tomorrow and Port cannot finish higher than us 

 

The "Jack Watt's moves to Port and still fails to play finals" story is a possibility, and would be pretty sad for him.

Brutal for us.

 

Ah well, we will just have to beat Meth Coast twice in a month over there.

Why? Hawthorn and Eagles winning is dream scenario. Fewer teams in contention is good. Really don't understand people wanting Geelong and Port to win today.


That was great result for us! Don't know how anyone could think otherwise. If Brisbane win tonight, it locks one of Port or Collingwood onto 12 wins until the final round of the year. It's great for our finals chances, so long as we win against Sydney.

Stop dreaming about finishing 2nd. West Coast were way too far ahead as it is and they have less to play for next week. Win win.

Maybe take a 2nd look at their reasoning.

Faint top 2/3 hopes. I'm all in on insurance plan.

Agree praha. Won't count for squat though, if we can't capitalise tomorrow.

We can still finish 2nd. 4th, 5th or 6th is most likely but I can't see either of GWS or WC dropping. Hawthorn may replace us in top 4. but we get a home final.

Another exciting finish, sure. But in those final frantic minutes I was thinking a 50 metre goal square would make this really exciting. 

Wet coke winning is a good result for us. We have to make the 8 first and foremost. With their injuries I would dare to say that port may not win another match.

Port had the ball in there forward half with 90 seconds to go, to then allow 2 goals is a choke of epic proportions 

Go lions.


I wonder, if we'll have the guts to throw Tom MacDonald back in defence for a quarter if we have a solid lead in the last, like the Eagles had the guts to throw McGovern forward for a quarter.

Finally someone spoken out about geelong. https://www.3aw.com.au/game-day-hawthorn-v-geelong-at-the-mcg/

Geelong legend Jimmy Bartel said it’s not good enough.

“You can’t have that top-end talent, that experienced coaching panel, a massive home-ground advantage, and miss the finals,” Jimmy said.

...and the Umpire review panel......

Mate you and so many others can cream your tweeds about making the finals, a Port win meant we had 2nd place in our own destiny, win 3, we had 2nd guaranteed, Port losing today means we have to rely on other results.

 

I don’t give a rats clacker about making the 8, this is an open season, any team can make the Grand Final where anything can happen, I wanted us to have the best opportunity to do that, Eagles winning limits it.

You know teams can win from outside the top 4 now, don’t you? 

Besides, you’re dreaming if you think we could finish top 2. West Coast play Brisbane in round 23. It was never going to happen. 

I want to make the 8. That is first and foremost. The rest we can worry about later.

  • 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.

  • 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.
