Magpies getting done = ?

 

Multiple players out of the GWS Swans game Due to CoVID restrictions. New teams to be released now.

This season is starting to fall apart.

GWS loses Greene, De Boer, Briggs and Stein.

Sydney loses Mills, O'Riordan and Cunningham.

One massive out for each side.


GWS helping the cause of keeping Sydney out of the top 4. Let’s hope they keep it up. We need a few more things to go right after last night’s debacle

I know footy helps ease the pain of lockdown but Fox have done there best to add more pain with the commentary team for the Crows v Eagles game. 

GWS look to be playing a high possession keepings off style like they did against us. Sydney want stoppages and then to burst forward.

My point is that certain game styles do better against certain teams, and helps to explain some of the unusual results. Swans looked great against Dogs last week, GWS looked horrible against Suns. Coaches want flexibility, but some teams are just better built for certain game styles. Pretty interesting season.

 

The umpires just lack any game awareness. Papley is a serial ducker and get rewarded with a free which leads to a goal. Umpires should black book players like Daniher and Papley and assume they are effectively cheating.


I personally feel the Swans best footy is as good as anyone’s and will be super dangerous in the finals. 


GWS remind me of us when we completely fall apart. Cannot stem the tide and quite frankly cannot execute a possession.

Agree with others that Sydney look at good as anyone at the moment. Their offensive game looks better than ours.

Sydney can absolutely go all the way. They are a scary proposition when they’re on and the team most like us in terms of game plan and contested footy. 

whole giants team coming down with covid mid game?

swans kick 9 un-answered goals after being down 34 pts..................wtf


I love watching Sydney.

Such a hard discipline team and well structured line up. Watch the way Parker, Kennedy and Heeney operate around the ground. No Hollywood fans over the tap [censored]. They just get the job down and keep it simple. Oliver, Petracca and Viney are exact the opposite to these guys

They are every chance to win it this year and I hope they do.

Really CB? I really can’t understand why you’d struggle to like a mob that has a profound history of cheating, chronic inter-generational ineptitude and racism, and multiple players being charged with rape. I’m truly flummoxed. 

You forgot about dwarf burning. 

 

Why isn’t Cameron under intense pressure?  
Gifted list, enormous financial subsidies yet struggling to consistently appear in GFs.

not a great result for MFC.

anyway 2.5 games ahead of 5 and 6.

I am thoroughly sick and tired of hearing that results elsewhere are not favorable to MFC when we have the world at our feet and our destiny entirely 100% in our own hands, yet blow games like Hawthorn, Colonwood, Adelaide.  GW$ was, if in isolation, almost excusable and certainly explainable. 

To me our guys still lack any killer instinct or responsibility for their actions, and fall back into thinking that low teams are easy beats - I guess a reasonable thought  process given our recent history, but still totally inexcusable.

  • 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.

  • 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.
