    The ball hits the ground and there are 4 Dogs to 2 Port. Port's lack of intensity is appalling. 

    And simply not handling any pressure. So much fumbling

    Just imagine if the umpires hadn't gotten the Dogs home last week with all that BS umpiring. We'd be playing Port or Brisbane in the GF.

    Still makes me angry.

    Wow so many similarities to last night. Port are slow, second to the ball and the Dogs are taking their chances! Geelong and Port were not PF teams and both teams were basically witches hats! We have beaten the doggies twice this year too and with no injuries on our end we have to stay positive and trust this new Melbourne team in the Granny! Go Dees!

    Well this is a disaster. 

    Agreed. We should’ve just lost to the Cats last night to put our minds at ease.

    Is there a worse coach in the AFL than Ken Hinkley? 
    Tactically he is awful.

    I might have a look at the Big Footy/Port forum.

    I'm sure they'll be blaming the coach.

    Of course - as the players left at half time, were the Port fans booing Dogs, their own players or coach?

    Dogs are +26 in contested possessions and +9 in clearances.

    Hard to beat them with that level of midfield dominance.

    In fairness, they are getting them vs Port not us.

     

    PS - and they aren't even needing to throw (much)

    If l recall, last time we played Dogs we kicked innacurately & got within 4 points of them in the last before they kicked away. We can beat Dogs in 2 weeks just gotta take our chances.

    Dogs on a wide ground scare me but if May gets up i think we have their forwards covered.

    As much as Gawn won't play a game again like last night, Mitch won't play another like tonight.

    We really need to show up at the contest though. Everything is built from it, the Dogs have A grade mids on their wings and bench.

    Take courage from 2018, Eagles and Pies smacked their opponents before playing one of the best Grand Finals you will ever see.

    I don’t think i have ever seen a team play so badly in a Home Preliminary Final

    This could cost Hinkley his job if it continues in the second half

    We know how they will play on Lever at least. 
    Who takes Naughton? Gonna have to be Smith - nobody can match his athleticism.

    Doggies are still vulnerable down back so we will need a huge effort in the midfield but I think our brand is better suited to finals. Port is just flattering them tonight.

    Their mids dominated also, I’d think ours would give a better showing this time round.

    Sets up a ripper of a GF

    Who cares about a good grand final? I want a boring thrashing from Melbourne

    Port HAVE to come out and crack some heads. Lycett and Dixon should have free reign to jump on the Bont’s knees 

    Port have had the extra week off, no quarantine, sleeping in their own beds and no injuries and at home! They will never live this down unless they come out breathing fire.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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?
