Cats never miss an opportunity to boost their percentage. Always keep their foot on the throat. It's a lesson we could do with learning

    Yeah well if we had a home ground advantage, and were gifted players like Dangerfield and Cameron we probably would do it.

    Home advantage does make a big difference. Same with West Coast at Optus.

    2 teams I can not stand because they do what they do so consistently:

    Geelong playing like millionaires at home, and 
    The Eagles lacking soul away from home.

    Its been the same for 30 years.

    Eagles should just take the forfeit and save their energy instead of travelling. Fair dinkum letting this Geelong side put this score on the board is embarrassing.

    Imagine if we had an exclusive awkward shaped home ground susceptible to crappy weather and only play interstate and crappy sides at it. We could pencil in an average of a half dozen extra wins a season.

    What ever happens tonight, it’s now factually incorrect that we haven’t beaten anyone of note.

    Geelong are a reigning grand finalist who just beat a contender by 97 pts, and we kept them to 60pts at the G. It was a win full of merit.

    People should now be called out on this narrative if they continue to accuse us of it, if things go south tonight.

    You can only play who your fixtures against.  We have Beaton sides that have Beaton more fancied sides that what we are.  My concern for team development is winning is a habit.  We have shown we pushed we can steady and pull away from sides.

    And geelong mauling of the eagle smakes the Bulldogs wins look less meritorious: Wins:  Pies +16, WCE, +7, NM +128, BL +19, Suns +62 all at Mars/Marvel excdept Pies at the G.  Yet to play a team inside the 8.

    No doubt the Bulldogs are good but not as good as their undefeated run suggests.  Downhill skiers, beating up on the lesser teams; small wins vs last year's finalists.  Their test is yet to come.

    The Suns v Swans game shows that you can't rate a team or club on the performances rounds 1-6. It is rounds 7-12 where things begin to settle, new talent emerges, and those teams building for the finals start to look strong. There is also usually a late bolter for the finals.

    Rankine is SO over-rated. A few good games in 1 season and all the commentators are gushing. 

    Suns are better than everyone thinks, but still not great. 

    Swans came out of the blocks hard. A few injuries and they come right back to the pack. They have talent, and a great coach, but it is a long season for such a young list.

    I hate Geelong.

    I like the Eagles under Simpson, but they are simply unreliable. Their stars are going missing too often.

    Nic Nat better than Gawn. Hahahahahahaha!!

    Their best stars are getting old, not that has slowed down the cats either.  We'll see a mini-rebuild soon to sustain them.  Their massive home grand advantage almost ensures they play finals every year.  Look at last year, couldn't win a game in the hub but still made finals after regrouping.

    You moron Triplechins ... Levi Greenwood is a filth player. The world doesn't revolve around the filth.

    I'm so torn on who I want to see win today in the big game. I like seeing essendon lose and with the pies going the way they are to see them lose would be even better and see Buck's demise just get worse. 

    Maybe a draw would be the best outcome.

    Nice high scoring game at Launceston

     

    Melbourne doesnt get a chance to kick big scores as we play in the wet every week.  Would be nice to play in dry weather for once.

    High scoring but some of the loosest footy I have seen in a long time. It's like Clarkson is using the Hawthorn side as some sort of experimental rabbit. Last weeek defensive and today as loose as guts.

    • 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.
