Brisbane amazingly wasteful in front of goals. 31 inside 50s

Rich 14 inside 50s for 8 scoring shots

    Lions have the top 5 possession getters so far

    The umpiring isn't helping their cause, but Brisbane are really kicking themselves out of this. They are absolutely dominating Richmond but kicking nothing but points.

    In Malaysia.. China time so very good  for having a sports bonanza

    32 degrees and I can hear the waves slowly crashing on the Straits of Malacca. Time for the first G and T of the evening

    At least I'm getting some use from my Kayo subscription

    Thx DJ.  No finals for us, howling winds, pissing down off and on all day and the filth / GWS circus both winning through.

    Kayo is good though ?

    Must say their continual bombing of the ball into the forward line in the first quarter reminded me of something

    I think the premiers will come from this side of the draw. WC the only threat on the other side of the draw

    You don't rate the Pies?

    I personally don’t think so Rusty. It was reported a few days ago WCE have made a major play to lure him back home. Just what they need, more damaging small forwards.

    The Tigers are a notch above the Lions with ball use & movement once the ball gets outside.  Pressure around the pill is also a tad more intense.

    They structure up around the ball quicker and more effectively also.

    If there is no clear chance of winning possession they bunt, wack, slap or kick the ball off the ground and keep it alive but always attempting to move it forward to gain ground and put opponent under further pressure.

    Will take a major effort to beat in the GF.  They will be there me thinks.

    No.. without  DeGoey I just don't see them kicking enough goals.

    They were so much better last year with Cox as their focal point.

    Can Pendlebury and Sidebottom play blinders again this year as well.

    They can if you don't put (or have) decent run with options on them as Scott decided to do for the first half last night.

    Speaking of which, what the hec was Scott thinking with a starting set up that had a wet rookie 9 gamer in Narkle starting in the middle against such a solid mid field opponent?  Crazy $hiiit!

    • 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?

      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.
