I wish they'd increase the volume on the fake crowd and drown out the commentators.  I've watched a lot of old matches recently and the quality of commentating was so much better.  

People say the world started turning to [censored] when Bowie died, but I think it was Dennis Cometti’s retirement that got those wheels turning.

    That was a dire half of footy, and from 2 of the top 4 sides in the comp no less.

    Sidebottom is an out and out superstar! 

    18 possessions in two shortened quarters........outstanding

    Pendlebury is better than he’s ever been tonight. Skills of majority of players in the game are better than they’ve ever been. Fitness as well.
     

    AFL as a spectacle is terrible at present.

    Definitely needs at least another 10 rule changes.

    Picked the Pies by 3 points but the game is just not fun to watch, I am not sure why. At least it’s close ;)

    It has been for a while.

    It's radical, but I don't mind the idea of zones to stop 36 players just following the ball around.

    If Tigers win by under a goal the headline will be that video decision giving Higgins the shot.

    How did they stuff that up? Clearly over the line on first viewing. Pathetic that commentators don't speak up.

    BT did and said it was wrong and Carey sought of agreed with him.

    Don't like the shortened quarters.

    ...but then again, I'm not liking the game all that much.

    Boo to short quarters and low scoring games. Hooray to a draw. A loss for both sides.

    Other than one decent mark by ?? and Sidebottom's first half that game was forgettable.

    Let's remember the AFL picked it.

    Collingwood unlucky to lose/draw

    watching post match, should the MCG invest in some better chairs for the players? They are loaded! Out with Bunnings white plastic chairs and in with some luxury style leather chairs

    Yawn.


    Pies zone defence. They stopped Tigers run.  But you need to score!!! 

    Riewoldt? Rioli? Did they play?? Absolutely missing all night. 

    Then Reiwoldt with a shot 30 out fails to score.

    • 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.
