Come on, injuries! Only one quarter left. 

 

I hope the doggies keep their foot on the gas and win by 100 points. Port deserve it

What gives me confidence is we learned a good lesson when we got smashed for those 5 minutes against the cats in round 23. Since half time from that game we have set up a bit more defensively in the middle at center bounces, since then we have won more of the midfield battle.
I heard on SEN today we were the best contested team over last 4 games in the comp.

Me too. I'm not concerned about the dogs, we have more than enough fire-power in the midfield. I think we will take control by brute force if we have to. We were flat last time we played the dogs, completely different side now.

Just one example....

He's allowed Daniels to play his preferred defensive sweeper role all night mopping up at back of stoppage.  What's one of the coaching manual mantras...."try and neutralise or take away the known knowns"

True. Absolutely no real change up by their coaching staff. 
I’ve thought they are pretenders all year though…flat trackers

I’d rather play the Bullies. Gawn will smash English in the ruck, and we have better midfield connection at present - than when we played them. Also, Allir Alir smashed us down back for Port last time - won’t miss that. I was hoping the Bullies won tonight. We will beat them. They are going to have to rely on their midfield kicking goals. And it’s unlikely they will continue to do that.

No he didn't?

10 disposals, 5 marks.

They were rucking him at times, ridiculously.

My golly goodness Port are front-runners. What a truly gutless effort. I wouldn’t want to play them in the GF. They’re not worthy of the whipping. 😎


As much as I'd rather have faced Port in the GF, it's kinda funny seeing them get creamed after reading their BigFooty matchday thread from last night.

An endless wall of posts saying we celebrated our Grand Final last night, how arrogant we were to rest our top 5 players in the dying minutes, how they couldn't wait to show us up as a bunch of pretenders in the Grand Final, conveniently forgetting they still had a match to win.

And all the arrogance about sleeping in their own beds throughout finals 😆 Wow, really paid off!

This game was there for Port if they hadn't been so awful in the first half.

Dogs have kicked 3 goals since half time, and look nowhere near as slick as the first half.

Dogs have to win this by 70+ to make it the most lopsided Prelim week in V/AFL history. I want them to do it so we can add it to the "Embarrassing records" thread, which I think over time will need a new name.

 


Brownlow night will be interesting

So, the old saying that PFs are the best contests of the season has gone south this weekend.

Motlop the most pure example of a port player…looks unbelievable when things are going his way

And is hoping for a new contract from Port. Good luck with that. 

Any team that has Motlop as guaranteed selection isn’t serious. Hard to believe how flaccid and un-united Port are. Rabble….

Definitely a lot closer than the prelims

Just to explain - the 's' on Celtic is possessive.

My Scottish wife and her entire family are rabid Rangers fans, and I follow Celtic because of my grandmother. It's a wonder the wedding went ahead actually.

Ha ha, love it. Did the reception resemble Buchanan Street on an Old Firm day?

I can barely remember a Prelim final weekend like this. For Dees and Doggie fans - absolute bliss, but as games of finals footy they have been atrocious. 

 

Hard to decide what’s softer, my lockdown [censored] or Port in finals.

True! People also say they're the hardest games to win. I think Geelong and Port will tell you that's true.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
