Shame the Tigers aren't playing this weekend.  Injury concerns: 

  • Dusty has a corked thigh from last week. 
  • Rioli sent off for scans after hurting his finger at training. 
  • Lambert left training early and limped off.

They all seem fairly minor and will be ok for their Prelim.  Damn it!  They have been blessed with injuries to first and second string players.  Surely, lady luck needs to go elsewhere now.  She has helped the Tigers enough!

    Back to this week:  GWS vs Coll.

    Would prefer GWS to beat our arch enemy and I reckon they have a better chance of knocking off the Tigers in their Prelim!

    Looks like nothing much there. They are cautious and rightfully so with a week off.

    Returning the favour and going to the footy tomorrow night with my husband. As much as I despise GWS, it’s in my genetic material to dislike Collingwood and I am not sure that I will be able to utter the words ‘Go Pies’ regardless.

    Big dilemma....

    The idea of a Melbourne vs Filth grand final is delicious, but I think Id just rather see them go out in straight sets like the Hawks.

    A final 4 without Geelong, Hawthorn , Sydney ad Collingwood is the perfect outcome.

    The Richmond club doctor, their medical and rehab team are the best thing going around in the AFL since sliced bread. Nothing to see there.

    Changing of the guard time:  :...for the first time since 2002 next week's preliminary finals will be played without either Hawthorn, Geelong or the Sydney Swans participating".

    Isn't that a bl00dy good thing!!

    Time for the young pups to take over!  Like us, yeah!

    For all the heartache we have been through to have had a successful rebuild and be in the position we are now to take on the newcomers is awesome.

    I have a funny feeling the giants will beat both the pies and the tigers.

    I would love this. In finals over the years we have won 19 out of 20 times against Collingwood.

    Not sure this is the way the official AFL app should be promoting a game (or a specific players antics) :

    Is the 20th, the 1958 Grand Final, when they stopped us winning 5 flags in a row?  Sam's grandad, Murray Weideman was their captain and kicked the winning goal.  Our 1964 Premiership players are still filthy about missing that flag.

    Then we beat them in the our last flag in 1964.

    With that rich history and young Sam Weideman in our team there would be much symbolism if the old rivalry was relit in a GF of Dees vs Pies -   Would love to beat them again.

    yeah.. but at least you'd get  a cheap ticket and in a perverse way if we can't be there I kind of like that match up

    • 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.
