    At what stage does Ross (handed and great list at StKilda but missed a flag x 3, then handed a great list at Fremantle but missed a flag again) Lyon come under scrutiny..?

    Totally agree, I feel like he’s one of those highly tactical coaches that don’t motivate players or get them “playing for him”. He’s made a grand final with Freo since being there, surely should be under the pump next year.

    Geelong's now up to 125.6%, that's a jump of 8% or so.

    However, it is also now irrelevant given Port's loss.

    Port can't catch us from 109.6%, nor can North from 109.1%. So, if we get to 13, we make finals. 

    If we can't win another game, Geelong were going to pass us anyway and our battle comes down to Port and North - we need North to lose one game and we need Essendon to beat Port. 

    Geelong's percentage may well pass ours, but it will only be relevant if we get to 13 (in which case it just affects final positions in the bottom half of the top 8).

    Not on percentage - they're on 109.1%, we're on 130.5%.

    If we win one more game they can't pass us (ditto Port).

    Losing to Geelong and the arrogance of their fans following the wins has made me hate them even more. They are up there as one of the luckiest clubs in history, fair play their early dynasty of premierships they worked for but since then (like Hawthorn) they’ve topped up being a “destination club” and lucked out with getting Damgerfield and Ablett to the club without and possible challenge. 

    They lucked out with us twice this year, and that’s the difference between our clubs.

    A stadium the profligate State government handed over 10s of millions of dollars to build, at the expense of so many worthy causes. The stench of government waste is all over that stadium and these filthy mange infested cats have the effrontery to claim credit for its construction. Disgraceful !!!

    Port are out of the 8 after that loss.

    So that means Collingwood will likely finish the year with just the one win against the top 8 (either against us, or Port, or North, depending on who takes the last spot).

    Their repeat games were Richmond, Essendon, Carlton, Brisbane, Fremantle.

    Ours were Geelong, Adelaide, Bulldogs, St Kilda, Gold Coast.

    So we both got one good side (Richmond/Geelong), one middle-of-the-road side (Essendon/Adelaide), and three duds in our repeat games.

    But we're the side with the "easy draw", whilst they're the side who are flag contenders.

    (We deserve to have the spotlight on us for not being able to win games against the top 8, I just can't stand the way the same spotlight never goes on Collingwood).

    I don’t think they’ll beat Adelaide, but you never know. I’d rather win one or two in next two rounds than fall in. Not going to be easy, fingers crossed, can’t believe we’re in this situation again and hopefully doesn’t affect the players

    If we win both games from here, we likely finish 5th or 6th (depending on results in the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

    We can still make the top 4 (for those still playing that game) - we need us to win both, Sydney to beat GWS but lose to Hawthorn, and then either Hawthorn loses to St Kilda or Collingwood loses to Fremantle so that we can pass them on 14 wins with our percentage. That means we can theoretically still finish as high as 3rd. 

    If we win just one game, we'll likely finish 6th-8th (depending largely on what happens with Geelong's percentage and then the results of the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

    If we lose both games, we'll finish 8th if Port lose to Essendon and North lose one game. We'll finish 9th if only one of things happens (i.e. if Port wins or if North wins both). We'll finish 10th if neither of those things happens (i.e. Port wins and North wins both).

    We just gotta find a way to force a draw at the very least!

    Nope, a draw would be horrible. No one will overtake us on percentage, so they will overtake us on points. 2 points doesn't help us, only 4 does.

    • 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?

      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.
