If West Coast beats Carlton tomorrow and the Dogs beat Fremantle, there will be a two-game gap between 8th (either West Coast or Richmond depending on percentage) and 9th (Essendon), although GWS has a game in hand.

Also if West Coast beats Carlton tomorrow Carlton should sack David Teague. There is no reasonable excuse for Carlton to lose to the side West Coast are fielding tomorrow.

    Gosh I checked the score and saw the bombers kicked the 4 in a row to be 3 points up and I thought they will go on with it, then I saw the last minute and thought the wrong score had been put up. The tigs just went bang. McGrath is a big loss to the bombers.

    He’s an absolute gun of a footballer and spoke well in his speech.

    there's a bit of the titchell / smitchell about him tho - lots and lots of possessions but how damaging is he with the ball in hand?

    that said, would happily have him on our list but he should be priority #1 for the peptides to sign up

    How will the football journalists of Melbourne account for this topsy-turvy result? I was told the Bomber wunderkinds were now invincible.

    Clearly they will just have to talk about Collingwood more.

    Watching with "bated breath" the Channel 9 footy show today as to what will be discussed about Friday night's game. Last week a fat zero with tubby saying at the end of the program that they had already discussed Melbourne v Bulldogs earlier. Absolute lie and he was called out on it during the week.

    As to the commentators saying during the week that Essendon were the best team currently (oh FFS) give me a break. Now explain last nights result you muppets. Looking at you Taylor &  Brayshaw. How do you keep your gig at 7.

    Today’s The Age headline.
    “Tigers reinforce premiership credentials against valiant Bombers“.

    and this.. “The Tigers have now won successive matches for the first time since round two and 11 straight against the Bombers, erasing any doubts about their premiership credentials in a season where they have struggled to find a groove.”

    Doesn’t take much for the media Richmond bandwagon to revive. Beat fickle Adelaide and callow Essendon and they are favourites again. And this is called journalism.

    Serious analysis required of the relative benefits to the MFC of a Bulldogs loss/win today against Freo.

    On balance (but only just) I tend towards the wingman theory where it is safer having the Dogs play interference against Brisbane in the top two stakes.

    For those who think we will remain ladder leaders having Brisbane second when commencing the finals series is not a bad outcome perhaps

    So enjoyable being on top of the ladder on merit but the permutations are such unchartered waters for me at least.

    Just watching the show now and we have been given a very good rundown of the game as well as a Tom McDonald interview. Neil Mitchell must have got thru to Tony Jones. Haha

    Can we say go freo?

    We can. Although I've rarely seen a team with such ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Days like today is when you miss the early Sunday game. The price on West Coast today is tempting even with half a side.

    Watched that last quarter goal-fest in the west from Essendon and Richmond where just about every i50 resulted in a goal. 

    That's just not going to happen against us.

    • 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.
