    Not enough injuries.

    Glad we dodged the Port bullet.

    Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there.

    Yes, Powell-Pepper came on and executed very well. However, need to keep it in perspective. At that stage of the game Geelong were cooked, it was like stealing candy from a baby stout from a pensioner.

    Cry me a river [censored]-cats... Seriously though, talk about creating a culture of failure. A supposedly star-studded team once again fails miserably to look convincing in the finals series, despite their awful "track-record" of gaining frees incessantly, and for an illegitimate reasons...

     

     

    …. and getting away with at least a dozen throws a game.

    Watch Toby Greene do something silly and get reported!

    But the “star of the game GW$ / Sydney / Geeling  finals exemption”  would be invoked

    Aside from Duncan getting touches on HB, the Cats were horrible! Selwood ineffectual with 17. Danger average. Henderson with one of the worst ever games I’ve seen. 

    should have been an 80 point win but for the umps going 20-8 before evening it up and Port being inaccurate 

    what a beautiful thing. 

    Port are good. High pressure, good contested ball with quality outside run. We will have to beat them to win the flag and I think we will

    strange game last night...

    Geelong key forwards miss several easy shots and Fantasia and Motlop kick seven odd goals between them.

    Hopefully Spargo and Harmes do the same for us tonight not to mention Daniher kicking 4 behinds.

    Cats to play Swans or Giants who have both accounted for Geelong this year.

    They were lucky the umps stopped them being blown away.

    Quite possible out next week.

    Morning footy news check - done.

     A few comments while reading through Demonland - check.

    2 hours of meditative relaxing via mowing, weeding, sweeping - check.

    Cheese platter purchased for tonight's game - check (yep, we decided to do it to shove it right up all the "to-the-snow-in-September" trolls)

    My dearly departed dad was a mad Swannies man, so I sit down to watch them take on gws - AND IT DOESN'T START UNTIL 3.30PM!! I hate all the pre-game drivel. So with coffee in hand, Demonland up and active, I now have to listen to Cameron Ling for an hour! At least Daisy is good to listen to.

    The old adage a weeks a long time in footy...

    Cats were almost eight goals up at home with a minor premiership in their sight but now they face gws or swans who have both beaten them.

    I find re-watching the final 47 seconds of last weeks game is a great way to kill time

    I still believe that Port have a soft underbelly. They have some pretend tough guys. If we play them at some stage I think we should target Butters and Roezee physically. We are better than them!

    This will be a great game.

    Giants to pinch it by a goal.

    Toby a day out.

    Is Hogan playing?

    Sure is…in his first final.

    Hoping for a GWS win. Sydney worry me more than them

    Are there crowd limits in Tassy? Doesn't look like a full house. Far from it actually

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
