Legit I'd be embarrassed if Weightman or Hunter played for us.

 

Being beaten on every stat now..

need to get one or two more before half time and then see what the second half brings

Is Salem back on the ground

    Has the standing rule just disappeared?

     

    So many Dogs players sook for frees constantly.

    Another season. Another umpiring debacle. Absolute joke. Umpire 32 needs to take a hike.

    Worried about Salem, he looked pretty upset on the bench with his left knee on ice.


    I hate the rule, but so many times already tonight I’ve seen the dogs players jumping around and moving on the mark and yet no free?! Have I just missed a change or are the umpires just helping them out? 

    Great to see Neale here.

    Well we got back in it. Just got to tweak a few things. 

    It would be nice to see a grand final 2nd half performance

    Tough going that quarter. Hope Salem isn't too bad, looking like the walking sounded and it's only Rd 1.

    Need to get a few clearances, they are putting us to the sword every time they clear it.

     

    The AFL can’t seriously expect players not to complain when they’ve made the game so confusing to interpret, and then on top of that start the season being so consistently reactive to ‘new interpretations’.

    Ive watched footy for almost 40 years and I’m so confused.

    Edited by The heart beats true

    Jackson is still rusty. Bedford as sub is a tactical error considering we went in on be back short.

    • 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?

      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.
