Giants are on the fringes of what you would call "in it". They'd have no fear of being able to reel back the margin though, as long as they throw caution to the wind in the 2nd half. Take a leaf from Melbourne's book - win the clearances and stoppages, and pummel the ball forward at breakneck speed.

    GWS forwards not getting the same protection as the Cat’s forwards. 

    That’s because they’re not playing any forwards that I can see Demonland.

    I never wish injuries on anyone but I wouldn't mind 4 concussions for both sides in one marking contest please and thankyou.

    My favourite part of this game is Soundgarden in the ad breaks. Ch 7 or their OB/prod has a SG fan - they’ve run a few SG songs last few weeks including Outshined, Drown Me at least.

    a huge loss. Last gig. 🥺

    Coniglio has gone backwards as a footballer since he was given the captaincy. 

    Was he ever that good?

    People always raved about him but I ever saw it.

    Low scoring yawn fest with the umpires giving Geelong a free ride.

    Sad when Brown is the most entertaining thing I’ve seen all evening.

    Still holding out hope for GWS somehow miraculously getting across the line. Nothing else to do now that I’ve set aside my evening for this rubbish.

    Foot injury has ruined his career. He was an elite midfielder a few years ago. He broke his ankle and developed syndesmosis in his ankle/foot. Similar to Viney, he now has to manage ongoing foot problems, lost all pace and kicking penetration and is a shadow of the gun player he once was. He’s a c grader now. Sad to see.

    Back to this match. Haven’t checked the tackle count, but I suspect it’s very low. This is the most bruise free final I can remember.

    There was a patch a few years ago (I want to say it was the year before they made the Grand Final) where I legit thought he was the best player in the comp. Never seen anything like that from him since then.

    I'm tossing up between netflix and the hope I'll see Hawkins reported if I stay.

    Netflix probably a better choice - Hawkins could even “do a Toby” on Razor Ray and would get off.

    You have options. We are stuck in lockdown, curfew has kicked in, and it’s pouring rain. 
    WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE LEFT 😭

    In 2018 he was great and he was my smokey for the Brownlow as he was kicking goals while playing in the guts. 

    No idea what's happened but he looks slow and unskilled now. 

     

    Edit - thanks Lord Travis for the update, completely forgot about his injury

    Still saddens me he's gone. 

    I can't get any lower,  still I feel I'm sinking. Haunting lyrics now.

    Based on what we've witnessed so far tonight, if the Dees come to play next Friday, it will be a soft passage into the GF (not ideal imo).

    Yep his 2018 was brilliant. Averaged a touch over 28 disposals and kicked 24 goals during the season. Statistically identical to Petracca’s 2021 season for context.

    I think you don’t quite realise how anti-social I am 😂 I don’t reckon I’ve been out on a Friday night for at least 5 years and have absolutely no intention of starting now. If I could give you my freedom, I would.

    • 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.
