Ever noticed how the commentators always call Easton Wood by both his names, never just "Wood"?

It's as if there's a player out there called "Easternwood".

I always used to wonder what Garyablettjunior's first name was

 

 

Mr Eddiebetts is another in that exclusive club

 

Good to see a nice wet weather slog. The winner will be knackered.

Isn’t that just up the road from Colinwood?

100% jaded…I was going to type that but assumed it went without saying.

My brain is finding it so difficult to comprehend Oliver’s last two games. He is the best player in the comp and the best player I’ve ever seen in an MFC jumper…admittedly I’ve only been supporting our great club since 87 so didn’t see much of Flower

Different beasts.

Meaningless anecdote, my Phys-Ed teacher in Auckland in late 70’s was Easton’s dad, Phil. He was the Australian triple jump champ at the time (followed his love to NZ). He was never called Mr. Wood, just Philwood. True thing.

Oh right. I used to call him "the little (something else)". Thank you for the correction!

I haven’t seen this many mullets in the one place, since The Blue Light Disco’s back in ‘79

 

All the free kicks have been there, the last one a bit iffy. He is playing in front or first to the ball in the wet. Of course he will get free kicks. Dumb defence of a small forward by the Bombers.

Weightman gets about 2 or 3 goals from frees a match. Has had 3 from frees today. 

He’s had 5 free kicks, 4 goals from them, and I reckon he vaguely deserved one of them.

Oh, goodness. Those poor Essendon supporters will be furious!

The Dogs 5 goals from 7 are free kicks. 4 of those to Weightman.

 

You have to be kidding. Pathetic umpiring.


The difference in this game is free kicks. The commentary team is finally coming hard at the umpires about it.

It’s been ridiculous.

2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

cody weightman - three four frees, three four goals

And he’s even more unlikeable after Eddie was explaining that he is a family friend…Eddie being the ever self indulgent [censored]

Essendon should bring up the umpiring post game regardless of consequence. The bulldogs are being handed this. Frees in front of goal. Frees going one way and not the other. I hate both teams and don’t have a dog in this fight but I am very over the umpiring handing the dogs opportunity week after week.

partly on Essendon for their inability to convert too.

That Weightman free kick for in the back on the boundary is just about the softest free I have ever seen. To pay that on the boundary in the wet in a final after the ball was disposed (i.e., the push didn't even affect the kick) is disgraceful.

I'm glad we didn't have to play in Tassy. 

Can’t rule it out though. A few cases in Perth …….

I can see Weightman becoming one of the most hated players in the league

Yes though in fairness he didn’t even stage for that last gift

Port are going to destroy either of these two teams or Brisbane.

Never has a Grand Final spot been more assured.

Brisbane are not a bad side. Came up against a juggernaut last night.

The wet’s made this a bit of a mullet wrestle.

  • 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?

  • 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.
