Quite conflicted about who I want to lose more here. West Coast look thoroughly beatable playing like this, I wouldn't hold any fears playing them at Optus in week 3. Collingwood at the G, on the other hand, not sure. Hmmmm.

    Meth Coke supporters are the worst in the AFL.  What the hell is with the constant booing?

    Theyve been doing it for years and still dont realize how moronic it is.

    It happens when you are a one team town. Go to a soccer international and you'll see far worse

    As much as I hate the filth if they can get over wet coke then good luck to them. It shows you that the eagles don't have a very good midfield. It's actually not a bad game.

    Looking for a pie win, I think its better that we don't need to travel and we seem to the players to again win at the G with our pressure.

    Its not that wet in Perth, so those slips are obviously from the new grass, maybe not enough depth in the roots yet?

    Also torn. West Coast look more beatable.

    But then, assuming we get past next week I'd love to be at the prelim and love to knock out the Filth

    Kennedy is horrifically underdone, looks shocking tonight.

    Just a comedy of fumbles and errors from West Coast.

    But Kennedy/darling get a game under their belt plus another weeks rest would see them play much better.  

    At this point neither side would not stand up to our pressure (based on last night).  This game is not a intense as ours and tigers game.

    I live in Adelaide I know, don’t see Adelaide teams in the same light.

    Very torn in this game. Just don’t want to hear Collingwood fans up and about.

    Unless you live in Western Australia or you don't go to the footy, why would you want Collingwood to lose? Don't you want to see your team live in a Prelim?

    Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

    Mmmm.   A very familiar pattern that we saw far too often especially up until about 4 weeks ago.

    But wouldn't be far sweeter for us to beat them than just beating the Eagles .... not many over here to gloat over.

    How was that not a reversal after the late retaliation?

    Collingwood can thank Eddie Betts for that behind.

    • 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.
