peptides look like us; get ball, bomb ball, turnover ball, stand still, see ball go whizzing past you at the rate of knots

unlike us they have a litany of injuries to their best 22

    Losing last night was a disaster. An Essendon loss is a nice consellation prize.

    The only thing we have to look forward this weekend is potentially watching Essendrug and the filth lose.

    You know they lost their last 4 in rather pathetic fashion?

    Sure, a fightback tonight was good for them, but they're old and experienced and should be contending for top 4, not trying to escape the bottom 4.

    I know the history 

    They were 5 goals to 0 and then completely obliterated Carlt. not many teams can change gears like that mid game. 
     

    Clarkson is still the one to chase....

    Thinking the exact same thing, I can't help but feel that the game in hand could end up being both clubs chances to scrape into finals.

    Ess and Bris is a waste of time watching but I will have to say that the umpiring is to put it mildly perplexing. In reality it is a disgrace.

    Cue "discussion" of Us v Lions = 1 goal, Bombers v Lions 10 goals?...

    Oh well watching the bummers get smashed has cheered me up a little. They lost a lot of %. Ha Ha.

    I know we can't really talk but Charlie cameron kicked more goals than the whole essendon team combined. That was Worsfold's lowest score ever in his coaching career.

    Puts paid to the hard to come up after such a tough game in the wet/damp theory.

    Would like to play Essendon after their Darwin game... Alice perhaps

    Very very minimal consolation is that EssUndone got beaten by more than we did, with an even more pathetic score.  
     

    Must be grateful for tiny mercies.

    Early in the second (I think) Shiel not only gets tackled high, he gets tackled to the ground when not in possession of the ball. The umpire was only 2 metres away right behind the action with perfect view and calls play on. FMD, as much as I loathe the peptides, pathetic umpiring riles me more.

    And here's the stat to back up your statement above.... 

    Brisbane 22 scoring shots from 37 i50 entries. (60%...must be close to a record) 

    Essendon 16 from 42.

    I think they've copied our game plan!

    Essendon were pathetic but did have a few guns missing from their best 22 as opposed to us who had 0.5 of our best 22 missing (Not sure if VDB is genuine best 22)
     

    We need to cop it from the media and own up to it internally. It was a disgraceful performance Vs Port.

    peptides are missing a third of their salary cap

    hooker, fantasia, stringer, laverde, ambrose, daniher, heppell are all automatic best 22 for them

    we have no such excuses

    As much as I despise the Peptides, the decisions against them against Brisvegas were mindboggling. I.e. amongst others, the Andrew McGrath holding the ball decision in front of goal, the allowing one player to hand the ball to another from beyond the boundary for a shot at goal (that may have been the worst as it was a disregard of the actual rules of the game) and Shiel being grabbed around the neck clearly during a stoppage. There were several others.

    Wouldn't have changed the outcome but the umpiring was clearly advantageous to Brisbane. Probably the worst umpiring for the season and that's saying something.

    Having Jones playing is like fielding 17 men and a witches hat. No other team plays a player as slow, plodding, unaccountable and past it as Jones is on a wing or anywhere else. No way in best 22.

    How many games in a row did Neeld lose in his first season before his first win?

    I don't want to see Nicks cop heat but his team is stuck on the bottom & losing to the team above them by 46 points

    • 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.
