First 20 minutes Port second to the ball, absolutely no tackling pressure really poor by them. Note Dogs need speed on the ball, need to slow the game down when required.

    There have been a lot of posts after our win about having the flag in the bag.

    Put the lid back on.

    The way the Dogs are playing tonight, and with a week off after this, we have a massive challenge ahead.

    Choked in 1st quarter, unbelievable! That's why I always want us to play PA. If WB won, have 2 weeks break, they will be a force.

    Tarps out by half time at this rate.

    Meh, Port haven’t been a top 4 side all year, and now they are proving it on the big stage.

    Stole the game against the dogs and beat a Geelong team that most likely had a virus that week. Only beaten down the ladder teams out side of those two. Still expected a lot more from them tonight.

    Dogs are the worst possible grand final opponent. Best midfield in the competition and the only side that has beaten us this year. 

    Agree. They will get the week off, which negates the finishing bottom half of the 8. Hope Port can come back from here, otherwise we have a hell of a fight on our hands.

    Port would have to be the biggest front runners under Ken Hinkleys time as coach. Happy to beat up the mid to bottom teams but absolutely choke when facing elite sides.

    Midfield of dogs is so on top. Ridiculous really. Port look like they have a choke again but it is only quarter time and I am not writing them off yet.

    Like I said, Dogs have/are riding a wave of emotion. Game, recover, travel, train, game.

    2 weeks off may disrupt this, give them time to stop and stick their heads up and disrupt this.

    Dogs and Dees GF is a fair result given we were both in the top 2 together for 16 of 23 weeks.

    I made a poor call taking up Port during the week.

    Come on Port, do the right thing by us and GO THE BIFF!

    IF Bulldogs win this it will be they who benefit from the pre GF bye I reckon.

    • 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.
