Hawks have been tanking for at least a month now.  I have gone right off Clarkson as next coach of the MFC.

Nah they are just crap, and long may it stay that way

    The Aints know what is on the line. They won’t lose with Ratts in charge

    Why should we get 3 chances??

    Or especially skills

    It's about skills

    Skills look better when it is dry, can't be no skills one week then good skills the next week, play freeo and Sydney at the Gabba and we win both games.

    “I understand that Essendon people think that Essendon should be better, but they’ve also got to understand that the competition challenges clubs now to work to the same rules – the draft and the salary cap. “No one team has any more right to be successful quicker than any other team, just because they’re a big-name club.”

    Just love that!  Big slap down to those entitled cheats.

    Thrashing them next week will be a delightful end to our year; not a substitute for finals but a good consolation prize.

    This "little person" mindset just proves that Worsfold never was a true Essendon man

    Their succession plan is going a treat so far! ?

    have to think he is trying to make excuses for his performance though. 16 years without a finals win, any club would not be happy with that.

    Thats hilarious.  Not even we went that long without a finals win when we finally broke the drought in 2018.

    Essendon are an irrelevant club.

    I try to add this in to every conversation I have. 
    I googled it just now and wrote “how long since” and ‘since Essendon won a final’ automatically came up! ?

    Hawthorn never cease to find a way to muck us up.

    Even when they are not playing them.

    It felt so good when the game was already decided to jump ship and support the dogs.

    Anyone know what Mumford got for the clothes-line on clarry?

    If the AFL is serious about concussion, he should get weeks for his supposed spoiling attempt where he just belted Gawn in the back of the head in I think the second quarter. Gawn was down for quite a while after it and Mumford was nowhere near the ball. 

    It's ridiculous how commentators just laugh at these punches to the head in a marking attempt. 'Making him earn it' rubbish. It is the accumulation of all those smaller hits that really add up, not just the ones where players get knocked out.

    I'd take an ageing Stratton over Chip or Frost anyday. No way it would have been Stratton's decision to retire

    Wouldn't go O'meara, doesnt strike me as leadership material.  they don't have many candidates... maybe Mitchell? he should be back to his best next year

    Agreed. he punch to Gawn should have been a fine.  blatently trying to get our best player out of the game

    results should have been out yesterday so I assume he got nothing

    The very week after we learned Danny Frawley had brain damage. Hilarious.

    • 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?

    • 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.
