This will make most Essendon supporters sleep a little uneasy tonight. Keep dashing hopes you Giants.

    GWS feel like they've kicked about 10 goals from the goalsquare in the last couple of games.

    Oh well, they've enjoyed a run that history will view very strongly.

    A team that won 3 flags and turned the league on its head in terms of re-defining defensive pressure. Well done to them.

     

    Now, if only West Coast could do us a favor and implode in a similar manner.

    Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown.

    Tigers - yellow and black.  Umpires - yellow and black.  

    It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

    On the money again Stone. For such a professional organisation, the umpire's chosen attire is regularly colour-blind.

    Perhaps Hardwick should make the move? Give Lynch a run on the ball?

    thought you meant the move to the boardroom with his resignation letter.

    GWS is missing Greene, Green, Coniglio, Davis, Daniels, Finlayson, Hill and Reid (along with some season-ending injuries to Flynn, Keeffe and Buckley).

    They could be a handful come finals. If they beat Carlton next week that puts them in prime position for 7th and potentially a final vs Sydney, the best draw possible for them.

    They look good, but I'm sure a lot of it is due to Richmond being just absolutely pathetic.

    Regardless of outcome and who gets it - this statue on the mark rule is just so absolutely counterintuitive.   
    I know some like it but a 50 penalty for running backwards or a step sideways is just such an overkill.

    The Stand rule is rubbish. Man the mark and you can move if you like - UNLESS the umpire calls Stand. If you hear that you can’t move. If you hear him say play on you can move. 

    ridiculous that the rule is based on the ability of a player to hear the ump. Could be trouble on GF day

    This might have been fair to say in Round 1.

    But it's Round 22. No excuses. Stand on the mark, don't move. It's not hard.

    That's not the rule at all.

    There haven’t been many of them but I’d hate to lose a game or a final because of it.

    Don't mind Daisy's observations and analysis at all! Knowledgeable and informative. To a lesser extent, ditto for Lepper.

    But BT and JB? Yeah. Nah. Hopeful and misplaced drama their default.

    • 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.
