The Arc. Wow, how embarrassing for the AFL. Vlastuin clearly missed the ball, you could see daylight between his fist and the ball. Arc too scared to overrule.  Whately will go nuts.

    Yep, will probably get a fine for that but honestly deserves weeks.

    In a fair system he would get at least a week but as we know it's not a fair system.

    Thought it would have been a 50m at least, happened after the whistle for the first infringement.

    Pretty uninspiring game so far, hopefully the Saints make a game of it in the second half.

    Poor quality game tonight. Low tackle count and bar a few minutes of Shia Bolton magic it’s been a snooze fest.

    The AFL is still amateur in this regard. Could decide a flag and it’s not good enough. 
    if the technology is not there, stick with the goal ump

    Just had a meal at a friends house.  They are mad Richmond.  Except for the wife.  The wife of the family invited us around not realising richmond were playing in a knock out final.  I said to mate when I walked in, sorry mate, we'll eat and get the hell out of your hair.  Left at half time.  Got home and whacked on the internet and jumped on here to Demonland.  Because thats all we've got to feed the Dee bug.  Emotions rush back to me about losing those Cairns games.  Could have been more or less locked in in the finals with a week or two to play.  We [censored] up this year.  Still bloody hurts.

    Watch the AFL say it was a correct decision. They hate any criticism.

    As Daisy said I can’t that getting weeks. It was a high tackle but the damage was done by Jones landing awkwardly. No justification for a suspension that I can see

    The original idea of the video review was for obvious/clear mistakes. Umpires call was the correct call by ARC

    Absolutely disgrace to say that was inconclusive 

    We could all see it at home

    Saints bought players failing badly. Brad Hill scared sh-tless. Marshall their best by a mile.

    Kent did well there

    This is a damp squib. Richmond haven’t had to get out of second gear.

    Looking forward to one of Geelong or Collingwood getting knocked out tomorrow.

  • Quote

    Hopefully tomorrow nights match is better. This one has been a fizzer. Saints have kicked themselves out of it.

    Such horrible skills from the saints. 

    the tigers are happy to sit back let them attack. When they get within 4 goals they get one and relax again.

    He slung him from around the neck...that's where the damage was done.

    He also landed awkwardly because of the slinging motion of the tackle...

    ...by the way who thinks we might have picked the right Freo wingman?

    Nowhere near the cost but much greater value.

    2 of my 3 most disliked players playing tonight, Lynch and Cochin, both snipers. The other is Stringer.

    Is it true Carlisle missed the match due to his wife having a baby?? Wow

    Terrible game, eps. saints kicking at goal, robbed themselves of any chance.

    But you can see from the outset they could not handle the pressure that tigers bought to the game, could not adjust to the higher tempo as a team.

    • 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.
