Name a team that isn’t completely reliant on their two best players? It’s an odd thing to be annoyed about.

Yeo tackled him high, ended up on the ground beside him. Rolled on to him and held him down for a good fifteen seconds.

It was a fantastic goal but geez that should have been fifty but the umpires are too gutless to call it.

"Courageous" stuff there from the big-bodied WC mid.

Really struggles to get separation

Doesn't have a quick step or baulk, easy to predict him rounding onto the left

I suppose the heavy track doesn't help.

No way Kozzie milked that

As the ump said, it was a coat hanger. And yet Yeo not only deliberately and obviously retarded Kossie getting up, but kept shaking his head at the decision. Home ground Eagles know they can exert this kind of influence over the umpires, and it will ultimately work for them. If I was an umpire, that kind of stuff would sh** me blind. I just don’t understand how they’re so easily swayed.

    Ridiculous comment.

    He is a better option against Nic Nat. Goldstein, Nic Nat worry Max. Something Max has admitted.

    Let’s see what happens to them now without Bruce. They have great midfield depth but no key position depth. Every team has their particular strengths.

    Maybe have him 1 out in the goal square with BB 30 meters out.

    Not reliant on bont and mcrae?

    You're kidding aren't you?

    our chance to go to the top of the ladder again and with a couple more wins, especially against Geelong, stay there. Players need to pull their finger out and get moving.

    It’s disgraceful umpiring, but we know that’s 90% odds-on to happen over there, worth about 6 goals a game. The bigger question is why we’re slowing the game down at the wrong times. No run-past, no quick decision making to expose their lack of speed. They also beat us in contested ball that quarter. Don’t correct that, we don’t win, particularly not with their crowd umpire advantages. Simples. 

    Ask James Jordon that question. Twice he slowed the game at half forward. Must be better

    Come on Demons - show them you can will need to beat 25 of them.

    Love to see the dogs without the Bont (don't even need to name another player, as that would be enough).

    I would say that Jackson has done well tonight. I would let him have a solid run NicNat. He can outleap him now, just needs to make sure his taps hit the target. Will struggle body on body at the throw ins.

    Max, Oliver and Tracc have to turn it on in the second half.

    Either we bring our pressure game now or goodnight. Umps will find a few more goals for Eagles as they always do. We need to win that contested ball and create scoring opportunities.

    Weid would have been handy out there.

    Coz his overhead marking recently has been superb?

    Well for as bad as that quarter was where still in front. Need to lift big time. 

    Can someone, anyone on Demonland who thinks we don't get a rough run from the umpires, please explain the free kick against Rivers.

    That is the worst free kick in the last 15 years of footy. The explanation was an absolute joke and 100% incorrect 

    We're getting belted by umpires.

     

    Lots more players need to get involved and get the game back on our terms.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
