The constant booing by Port supporters is so annoying. Same as West Coast supporters.

The remind me of the Blue Oyster Cult song "The Subhuman".

    Well there you have it. 3/4 time and Port’s pressure rating has been elite.

    Officially no excuses for the turd sandwich served up last week.

    This!

    I’m really glad for the Port’s pressure. It leaves us with less than zero excuses.

    Usually yes, but I’m personally loving hearing any noise at the footy this year

    The Bulldogs in front of a hostile home crowd put in a very brave performance.

    Last week against the same side we did exactly the opposite.

    When do we get to look forward to regular top performances?

    Since 1964 the suffering continues.

    Why us?

    We beat Carlton by a few points.   The Dogs lost to them by 9 goals.

    Almost as if footy is an unpredictable sport   (except for Melbourne sucking since 1964, agreed there).

    Still can’t believe we picked Toumpas over Wines.  It haunts us.
     

    And again last night to see Jackson Macrae (who is an absolute star) deliver a 28 possessions game at 85% efficiency.  He was at pick 6. His under 18 year was exceptional where he showed his skill, evasiveness, goalkicking and ability to win the footy.

    Wines is exactly the type of player we don’t need. We have half a dozen of his type. And a month ago he was in a rut, just like Clarry is now. Clarry’s disposal has been terrible but it’s not a career problem, I suspect it’s mental. A bit of confidence and we’ll see him back to his best. 

    And as a side note, what we recruited Toumpas to be is exactly the type of player we still need. Someone to play on the opposite wing to Langdon and perform consistently. We botched the pick on the wrong player but hindsight is 20:20.

    Hipwood one of the softest players in the comp.

    Tigers kicking skills are ELITE 

    Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE

    Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE 

    Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

    Two thoughts come to mind following that game.

    The first is maybe that 4 day breaks are a factor: Brisbane was off a 4 day break, Richmond had 6. Although to counter that, Brisbane generated plenty of scoring shots, so it wasn't all one-way traffic.

    The second is that the comp remains very even. Brisbane were pretty poor in most facets after quarter time. Pretty much every side has had a stinker of a loss so far this year. Indeed, every club except GWS has lost at least one game by 30+ points this year (side note: a week ago, there were three other clubs who with GWS had not lost a game by 30+ points. They were Brisbane, Carlton and...wait for it...us).

    What are peoples thoughts on Witherden?

     

    A very dangerous player to have on your team, thinks he is an elite kick and often fails to pull it off. Don't rate him.

    Noticed he had 19 touches, all kicks, with DE of 73.7%. Didn't catch the game, so curious as to his foot skills.

    I know it's easy to be swept up in week to week knee jerking, but the quality of that Richmond win signalled a clear division between them and the rest, perhaps only West Coast on there day. 

    I think we still are in that 2018-2019 period and the newcomers (Bris, Port, StK) are a clear rung (or 2) behind, which to me feels like almost the signing death warrant for holding my interest over the next few months. Stuff watching a smarmy Cotchin winning again, change the channel!

    They're missing players as well, that's a club that knows how to perform almost every week. No excuses.

    Richmond have very clear expectations on players that come in and their ability to convey the message across the whole playing group is exceptional.

    Every single player on their list can come in and play their role. You can't help but tip your hat to them, they have raised the bar

    It will be interesting to see how the Power perform after a 4 day break. Was the Dees performance off a 4 day break just an aberration?

    The Dees are an aberration

    No excuses for what they dished up

    • 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?

      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.
