Pie getting thumped is always nice. If they can beat the Eagles in this form maybe we’re a chance tomorrow.

That's why I'm not fussed with Carlton overtaking us today. If this seasons going to be bad it might as well be truly shizen. Regroup over preseason with players ready to go on day 1, with the number 2 pick and an easier draw. 

That’s the way. Choose the soft option

that’s what The MFC does so well...

If North win... we are seriously bad

We are. The style of play hasn’t changed this year. Good teams can change styles quickly and go

Brad Scott and Bolton were ordinary Coaches. 

At least we can take some joy from Collingwood being pummelled. That's always fun.

I was at the Richmond game today. A few things I noticed that stand out when watching sides other than us:

  1. Their forwards held marks so much more often than ours do. Whether it was across half-back when trying to clear their defensive 50, or in the forward 50 when it was congested, they had Lynch and Riewoldt (amongst others) actually clunking marks
  2. They also generally kept one or two forwards deep, generally having someone forward of the play all the time and allowing them to have someone leading up at the ball carrier
  3. With those leads and marking forwards, even when the ball wasn't marked when it hit the ground there was immediate pressure through the middle
  4. Their mids, when getting their hands on the ball, took a couple of steps from the contest before kicking

A shame we can't say the same thing about the bummers. 

But I hope Brisbane can win. I don't mind seeing them in 2nd spot.

Norf are being crucified by the umps here. I know the commentators are raving on about ill discipline but no question they're being stitched up

Lions getting an absolute armchair ride from the umps again. Free kicks now 25-14.  Was 9-8 at half time. 

Lots of marginal calls go to Lions yet the Roos have to get obvious frees only.  Dees would like that sort of treatment just in one game EVER.

Really. Two soft frees to Lions kills the game. Very soft. Unbelievable in such a contest. 

It would rip out Norfs heart.  If that to the Dees I’d be uncontrollable 


Big statement but close to the worst umpiring of the year Bris v North

The AFL and their “rules” coupled with the clown maggots who make it up as they go, are just ruining our game.

I thought Maxys free against was the worst free kick of the year...

But that one against Thompson really takes the cake. Yet another green maggot ruining a great game of footy by being completely incapeable of doing their job. 

Go get [censored] AFL you're a joke of a league

You're kidding right?

Horrific umpiring to get bris the win. 

GC discarded a player like Jared Lyons now they want a pick 1 pp. Get stuffed.

  • 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.

  • 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.
