Adelaide is such a B-grade city and TV market

How is the boundary rider...!?!

Was my next-door neighbour when I was in high school playing footy. Absolute top bloke.*

    Can they just thrown Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

    Wines. Cancel out wines

    Perhaps you are too young to have seen Fitzroy's last game v Adelaide. Benchmark. 

    Go Dees

    Oh I still remember that. That was a dark day in Australian Rules.

    They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

    Yep. They've been poor in general. Both sides copping the short end of the stick.

    If we win, the winning margin will be worth double of what it is purely because we’re not only playing another team, we’re playing against the deplorable umpiring as well.

    ANB and Harmes very disappointing

    AnB having a nightmare of a game. He is literally a detriment right now.

    i like Ben Brown being in the side he is not getting a lot of the ball but is sucking up a lot of attention, that gives our other forwards a chance to get into the game.

    Agree whole heartedly.

    but just to be fair, 13 guys in the team (not including medi sub) have had the ball less than BB 

    Oliver on track for forty touches? with 20 already.

    And his first halves tend to be slower.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    I don't mind the booing because it means we have the ball. 

    Ugh I was saying no late goals before the siren. 

    Petty magnificent so bar. His ball use has been great. 

    Trac had a great 1st half. 

    Pickett getting into the game. yeah that last 50 was there. If alir had touched it the ump would have said play on. No different ot eh fritta one. 

    I like what Ben Brown is doing. He's providing a contest and taking ports best backman from the others. 

    We are playing so much better than last week. We aren't over handpassing it and playing on at all costs. Love it. 

    Come on dees keep it going.

    Great start.

    Port are getting very few clean looks. 

    BBB has yet to hit the scoreboard, but he’s undoubtedly straightened us up. If he can jag one or two, he can say he’s done his job.

    Clearances have improved out of sight.

    I hope Ed has gleaned what our mindset is. If we go in knowing our foot is on the neck and it’s time to move in for the kill, we should win.

    Would like more from Fritta, ANB, Viney and Harmes

    Yes our stars are playing well but let's help them out a bit 

    Would like less from Harmes. Every time he touches the footy it ends up in Port Adelaide hands. Reverse King Midas.

    More than you I suspect we are in front 

    Start supporting the MFC

    Really want to see Oliver kick 2 or 3 goals in 2nd half. Nothing better than an A grade mid who hits the scoreboard

    Good thing his only had 3 touches.
     

    Not even half as many as Ben Brown

    I’m usually reluctant to bag the umpires. I rarely do it. But this is off the charts terrible umpiring. 

    The connection between Gawn , Trac and Clarry is good tonight and Brown balances out the forward line much better.

    We also started better this week and those were the three things we wanted to improve on.

    • 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?

    • 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.
