That game played out like you'd expect our game to next week. Brisbane getting a stack of it inside 50 and a stack of shots on goal, but failing to take their chances. St Kilda keeping their forward half open and using speed and run to make the most of it.

If we're going to go down the same road, goalkicking accuracy is critical. 

Fingers crossed we have our kicking boots from the Pies game and not the dogs game then.

Moving on to different games, fingers crossed the Weagles get the job done against GWS today, and maybe pray from an upset from the Kangas. I could actually see that happening, Pies are so depleted and who knows maybe something random could happen for Shaw.

    Only 1 thing in our favour for next week. St Kildas inconsistancy.

    Based on what? They've been one of the more consistent teams this year.

    Meth coke are a class above. The only good thing about our predicament we don’t have to play them as they would slaughter us. Who need another 2018 prelim final. Evidently there is equalisation in the AFL. Can someone rationally explain how they got Kelly arguably the best player in the AFL last year. Salary cap my a**e

    Brereton is Right. 
    the pressure within the Eagles fwd line is immense and unrelenting 

    The Nik Nat Snap goal

    We do that maybe once a year

    Wasn't there a rule that if a player gets 3 fines in one year the third is an automatic 1 week suspension.  Jordan Lewis was hit with this a few years ago when he played for us.

    I wonder if that rule is still in place? 

    Either way, it looks like a cop out by Christian.  Deliberate, low impact, high impact = 1 week holiday.

    Watch the Tribunal just give Lynch a fine...

    I'm pretty sure that was lumped in with the points based system which for me confused the whole thing, particularly when they then brought in the 10% downgrade for an early plea. They took out that system because people didn't like the carry over points.

    I would've thought the simple option is that if you have been given a low grade reprimand for a gut punch, low impact strike, or low sling tackle that puts you on an offender list that takes say 5 games to wipe off and if you do something low impact again you get a one match ban. Similar to the yellow card system in football.

    It stops players from doing the cheap little shots that isn't enough for a suspension straight off but then repeat offences gets a ban.

    EDIT: Just going with my 5 game offender list, I also think it should take 5 games PLAYED to clear your name. They can be VFL games but you shouldn't get a free pass from injury.

    Somehow we need nth to upset the pies. Not only will it keep us in touch with the 8 but seeing the pies lose would be great.

    Luke Dahlhaus just got a week for the identical tackle that ANB got 4 weeks for, with one exception, the victim wasn’t concussed. That is pathetic in that penalty is now decided not by intent, or legality of action, but on any injury that occurs. 
    Punch a bloke in the face, which is an illegal act, but if victim not injured, result is a fine or 1 week. 
    This is ridiculous. 
    AFL now more concerned with staging.

    This nth/filth match is beyond a joke. The worst football I have seen in ages.

    What a joke

    4 weeks/1 week for the same action

    Corruption is the only word for it

    Couldn’t care less if it’s the worst match in the history of the game, if North get the win that’ll be awesome on so many levels!

    Magpies have the cue in the rack. Can’t even play well against North

    This was what Gil said after Burgoyne got away with the first tackle this year:

    AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said the change would ensure the potential injury of a hazardous tackle would be taken into account by the match review officer when grading an incident.

    “We want to be clear; protection of the head is our highest priority and we want all players at all levels and age groups to better understand that these tackles shouldn’t be part of our game.

    “Dangerous tackles have the potential to cause head injuries, and it is essential that this is taken into account when assessing an incident under the AFL Tribunal guidelines.”

    What an absolute load of bull?!

    Corrupt is the only word.

    This is a terrible game of footy.

    The consistent this season is that C/Wood have been in many terrible games.

    Their game plan and personnel keep throwing up rubbish games.

    • 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.
