Holding the [censored] ball on Motlop. A [censored] disgrace.

    Motlop dropped the ball. No free kick. Umpiring is pathetic trash.

    But also WAKE UP MELBOURNE! Don’t let them back in this.

    I don't like blaming the umps but they're keeping port in this. Motlop DROPPED the ball!

    Mind you, kicking straight to Alir is not smart footy. Brown was right behind him. Kick it a little higher, Jesus.

    Time to put JJ on Wines.  Viney looks pretty spent.  Lingers ...no need to panic on that kick.

    How was that not dropping the ball on Motlop?  He also threw the other one earlier two handed for the Wines' goal.

    Port player runs over the line under no pressure.  Not intentional.

    No rules for Port with ball in hand! Anything goes.

    Harmes bugs me so much. Ignored Petracca to kick straight to Alir. Stupid.

    Petty has been seriously good.

    He's from SA. amazing how ppl life lift playing at home

     

    What a great backline effort again. Petty again and again. May out muscling Dixon. Playing for each other.

    Oliver doing plenty, including getting back to support the defenders.

    Is wines playing?

    Jackson doing well, hard to match up on.

    Langdon again, good desire.

    Tracc finding the ball and space.

    Need more when we handball it, as we a missing the hit ups. Some great hands and clean footy from some.

    Generally, good effort by everyone, though a couple can still lift, Brayshaw, Spargo, ANB, Harmes, Gawn, Viney, Fritta. 

    Looks like we want it, and are in a good position to take it. 

    A few more unanswered goals and we take the crowd out of the game, till Ports second wind.

    Important quarter.

    Go Dees.

    • 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.
