I can't believe I'm saying this and I know it's early in the JLT praccy matches, but the lack of contests are making the game a bit tame.It seems it's end to end footy with no real oomph. Have I gone too early on this??

It is a bit early 'spurs' and of course it's only practice match footy but yeah, it is really boring stuff to watch.

There has been zero pressure in these games so I guess we have to wait for the season proper.

So far it's about as interesting as last years AFLX footy.

...and just maybe it comes back to that old saying "be careful what you ask for".

Someone had to say it, but at the moment the emperor has no clothes.

    I heard the commentator saying that Dixon won't be available in round 1. Nice.

    Ryder rolled his ankle too, not sure how serious

    Has the annual "dancing with your sister" cliche procession begun yet?

    If not consider this the first offering.

    Is that dancing with your sister, or a sister?

    Freo play the Pies tonight.

    Will be interesting to see how being back home affects Jesse's approach and his game. 

    Any loss for the Pies is a good loss, pre-season or otherwise.  Wouldn't mind if Jessie has a day out!

    13 mins in 1 mark, 1 kick. 0 goals.

    More than half way through the 2nd quarter and 2 kicks, 2 handballs, 2 marks and 0 goals.

    Head drop and chases given up on: 17

    I was actually going to add 2 dummy spits.  To be fair though, he did improve his output by half time so he now has 2 marks, 2 kicks and 3 handballs.

    Hogan looks completely disinterested.

    Nice to see his new coach sorted out his attitude problem. Early days, but he looks to have the same interest in second efforts now, as he did the entire time he played with us.

    Not the work ethic of a champion player.

    Hogan is past history. Stuff him. I hate to say it but the filth will be hard to knock off this year.

    • 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.
