I agreed at the start of the year to go to the game at Manuka tonight with a Hawks mate.

    I hope really hope the dogs can knock off the bummers.

    These 2 teams should be wearing a Clash Jumper, if such things are needed. 

    But of course the aren’t of course, because the AFL is a joke

    What Einstein would schedule a night game in Canberra in August?

    The buck should surely stop with the CEO.

    Shame Melbourne isn't playing.

    Could have gone to the footy and snow at the same time.

    Up close the jumpers are readily distinguishable but I agree on the longer shots there is a blending of the various shades of orange.

    Cannot understand the childish love of AFL clubs for the jumpers. They must be the only sport that has not moved on to having clear clash strips.

    Hell I saw Liverpool playing recently in a blue strip and no one batted an eyelid.

    That's the joke on twitter about Melbourne should be up there playing with the snow and all and the other jokes are about Mumford and white stuff.

    I live in the damn place.  Glad I chickened out on going to Manuka tonight.  There's enough snow in my back yard!

    GW$ looking almost Melbournian tonight.  No urgency and just structureless 

    Not sure how they will find the goals.

    Surely Leon Cameron is on thin ice. For all of their concessions and talent, GWS don’t look like going close to a flag anytime soon.

    Gee wiz these Giants are going to go nowhere in the finals. If I was their coach I would tear strips off a number of them but then you aren’t allowed to do that with these young ones!

    One does not simply schedule an extended outdoor activity in Canberra, at night, in August.

    The average overnight temperature is 2 degrees, and it typically gets close to that range within a few hours of the sun going down.

    Rain is a one in three chance on any given day for the month, higher in early August. The soil is always damp so the wind is always biting, and that wind comes directly off the highlands, continuously, for the whole month.

     

    I genuinely miss it.

    But since the AFL is supposed to serve sane/normal people, this fixture is just incredibly stupid.

    Where is the million dollar forward Cameron? Hardly had a touch, incredible bunch of soft talent that can only perform when it suits them it seems. Just a bit too cold it seems.

    It is...or was. ...a Winter game ? Yeah !!

    • 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.
