Boy that's a bit negative even for this forum.

It’s a massive IF mate. And I’m  not expecting it to happen.

Just pointing out that GWS are carrying some brilliant form and could very well beat Sydney in week 1.

Meanwhile we’ll be playing a high quality side in week 1.

    We’re so playing GWS in the semis if things go south in week 1 finals.

    GWS with this win will likely finish 7th.

    That means they likely play Sydney in the first final (Brisbane would have to lose to Collingwood or West Coast for Sydney to pass them), and then the winner gets the loser of 2 v 3.

    So if we win both games and finish 1st, we'll avoid that semi.

    All things being equal I’ve got us beating Adelaide and losing to Geelong - hence finishing 3rd and getting on GWS’s side of the draw in week 2, in the event we lose week 1.

    Richmond are hopeless, but I reckon GWS could win it this year. For the simple reason being I think they could beat us.

    Tell em they're dreaming.

    We arn't going to fall for that [censored] again.

    Plus, it will be like 2018 in reverse.  They are hitting a purple patch right now, but are having to throw everything they have at it just to make it and I'm tipping they will fall in a heap sooner or later.

    Have been told that Hardwick has pretty much lost the players after his off field activities. Be interesting to see how long he lasts now they aren’t winning all the time. 

    If that's the case he and Clarko would be a pretty good combo to get back together.

    But from all reports Buckley had lost the players years ago and they persisted with him. Dimma has premierships and Richmond have a bad history of sacking coaches. I doubt he will be going anywhere.

    They still haven't made the finals yet, either.

    They need to win next week, otherwise they run the risk of Essendon passing them with two wins (could theoretically also be passed by St Kilda or Fremantle but they're far less likely to win both games).

    The Richmond fawning in the commentary box is disgusting.

    Noticeably though, Daisy doesn't get involved in it. It's all BT, Brayshaw and Leppa.

    I like Leppa. His Richmond bias saddens me.

    Fawning over Dusty now.

    If Richmond struggle again next year, Dusty will get found out and just look like a hungry selfish has-been.

    • 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?

      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.
