Watching Adelaide V GWS and the crows kicked across the ground which the "nuff nuff's" commentating called the "fat side of the ground". Someone please help me understand this and while your at it, "a goalkeeper" WTF. Brayshaw one of the "nuff nuff's". I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

When one of these idiots, and it's usually Bwoooooooce, says such and such is playing the quarterback role, that takes the biscuit for me. Can't stand hearing that being said. P... off to the USA if you are going to talk like that.

The only fiddling you should be doing right now is with the ladder predictor. If Port had beaten WCE, then a win over SYD & WCE next week would have us 2nd with the win over GWS in r23 . No need for a Brisbane win.

Nice edit, considering your original post completely ignored the Giants.

Once again, you're just assuming we win all 3 final games. I'll be as happy as anyone to see that happen but I'm also a realist. We dropped a game to the Saints barely a month ago. We haven't beaten anyone in the 8 all season. I'm all for being optimistic but the odds of us winning every match from here are unlikely, all things considered.

How many fresh reminders do you need that this club finds seemingly impossible ways to crush their fans every year? My only focus is on finals. If we make the top 4 I'll be elated but I'd rather see results that cement our place in the 8 and finally break our finals drought once and for all.

Whinging about the decreasing odds of making top 2, when our place in the 8 is so precarious, is shortsighted. Melbourne supporters of all people should know better.

Do you believe, playing near our best, we can win the next 3 games?

 

Of course. I'm also someone who thought we couldn't possibly bugger up a victory against Geelong if in front by 30 points in the final quarter...

Back to tonight's matches, Collingwood now up by over 2 goals. Brisbane sadly falling away. Make that 3 goals, bugger!


Wow...the score review to beat all lol

Then, if Port won tonight, how was the thought of finishing second a wet dream?

I'm of the view that the insurance we get from the Port loss is more valuable than the prospect of finishing 2nd.

I believe we can win all three but I don't think that's likely. So I'm more than happy to have Port lose - as has been said, if we beat Sydney tomorrow and Collingwood beats Port next week, then we should (barring BBP's nightmares coming true) have both Geelong and Port covered with our percentage, and that means we play finals (even if North wins out).

Meanwhile tonight's games were exciting 20 minutes ago when Brisbane and Adelaide were both leading.

Now Adelaide's down by 18 and Brisbane's down by 21.

 

Can see thats a goal from here.....how could the goal ump not see that...

Both then kick goals. Don't dream it's over


Both matches tonight going against us now. Bugger.

Adelaide were already well out of contention so it would've been nice to see them upset the Giants. Their depth is ridiculous sadly, thanks to the ridiculous draft concessions the AFL handed them on a silver platter.

Excuseable defeat for Brisbane given their youth but they really should've gotten the win last week against North. Heartbreaking final minute that was.

How “good” is the “atmosphere” in Canberra?

It's great. It's breathable and everything. I suspect there'll be a terraforming operation there in no time.

Great sling tackle Tex you Fwit

Josh Kelly doesn't look in a good way. Hope hes alright.

That lady umpire clearly is a Collingwood fan girl

You are a supporter who doesn’t seem to understand that it is a learning game ...we get into situations we haven’t been into before & maybe lose but learn ....the team of a month ago who lost to the saints isn’t the team that will face Sydney...I absolutely believe we are good enough to win the next three games but the teams we play also believe they are good enough to win .... we need to win at least one  & in reality win or come close to winning against the other two...you need to go into finals in winning form or otherwise you are Essendon 2017 & just making up the numbers

 

Noticed quite a few posts questioning the female umpire. Does she support the Pies? Seems she's giving away quite a few questionable free kicks tonight in their favour.

I bet when Bryce Gibbs left Carlton last year he would have been 100% certain he'd be playing finals. I know he went back home for family but im sure he would have thought the crows would have had a great season and push for another shot at a premiership.

She also didn't allow a clear brisbane advantage where they would have had a certain shot on goal. 

She really needs to hide it a bit better 


The gws crows game hasn't been that bad. Interesting last quarter. GWS 2 down and only hold an 11 point lead. Come on crows do us a favour and win. 

Come on Adelaide you losers. GWS are 2 down. If you can’t win from here, you’re a disgrace for a team that made the GF last year.

Who are the 2? Long term?

  • 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.
