The cats got a dud call last night, which will get all the focus and attention, but they have no one to blame but themselves for lsing that game. They kept the swans in the game through their own poor goal kicking then choked badly in the last 5 mins to concede those goals. 

Should be a ripper next sat night at the G

Agreed.  Hawkins had an absolute mare of a last quarter goal kicking wise.  Could have iced the game on a few occations, but failed to do so.

Admittedly I only saw the last quarter or so, but thought it was more a case of Geelong loosing it and Sydney lucky to be in the game due to some good goal kicking, so I'm unconvinced that they represent as big a threat  to us, but probably not as easy a win that it was starting to look like with the Swans on the slide either.  No doubt if we do win, the media will still be like "Melbourne haven't really beaten anyone yet".

    Reading this ,

    so I watched the last two minutes 

    I thought the same umpire made 3 errors,  2 blatantly wrong in that time,

    glad he is not umpiring our game today !

    still Scott and the cats have got away too many times in the past.   Karma gets you in the end

    Replace Saints with Cats, and that would be perfect ?

    Perhaps the AFL need to look at abolishing or merging these underperforming suburban clubs.

    Just watched the last two mins also, amongst all that noise I’m sure you can just hear the ump say “play on....touched” first after it was kicked in Cameron’s direction.

     

    Yes, I thought I heard it too @Dee Zephyr

    Todays games

    Essendon and Carlton will battle out to see which mediocre team can stay in touch with the final 8, while the other ones season will be over at 2-5.

    The young upstart Dockers can move to 5-2 while sending the Eagles to a 3-4 record and wouldn't we love to see that. 

    Both games are 50-50's.

    Re the Cats

    What goes around comes around.  They got a bit of luck against the Lions so suck it up Cat fans.  Taking their foot off the pedal last night is the real reason they didn't win (Scott said as much in his presser)

    Mind you, in that earlier game the Lions didn't turn up in the first half so they only have themselves to blame (as well) Again, that's the 'real' reason why the Lions didn't win that particular game

    But as DZ said on the previous page on this thread, the initial call was almost certainly touched off the boot so the 'actual' ruling in the end achieved the same end result - no mark

    As for the HTB at the end ... we see plenty of ball-ups in that scenario so again, no biggie. Didn't look like he had prior anyway.  Another grey area that carries with it divided opinions

    Fair result all round in my view

    Having just watched the Saints V Hawks game, and the poor turnout of Hawk supporters, maybe  those that gave up our club decades ago to support the Hawks may well want to come back into the Demon fold. As you left in the first place to chase success we do not want you back. Our supporters have much stronger backbones having gone thru many dark days and deserve any success that will happen this year and the future.

    I get the seriousness of the situation but McGowan is a dead set plonker.

    Not just from a board game. Yaddle was a member of the Jedi High Council in the prequel trilogy.

    Wow, I missed that.

    Man, anybody watching the Essendon v Carlton game? How bad is the commentary? I’ve had 3 pints and half a bottle of Pinot and have one eye only on the game, and even I could see that Betts kick was clearly a goal. And yet the Channel 7 commentators are saying it’s gone through for a point? Embarrassing. How are they getting paid for this?

    • 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.
