If Port and GWS are serious their coaches should be sacked by tomorrow evening.  
Hinkley is in his tenth season as coach and Cameron in his ninth. Their teams respective efforts over the weekend when taking into consideration their exit from last years season as well as their opponents speaks volumes.

    For Port, are they now broken mentally after all the prelim loses and the smashing last year.

    one of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see. Never in a million years was that a dump tackle. hopefully won;t impact the result

    I said it last year watching the Game, Port absolutely [censored] the bed in that home Preliminary. Last night just makes it worse. 
    no one will fear them in Adelaide this year

    Well the Perth teams being putrid is certainly a good thing for our chances to keep Jackson long term. 
    Wanna go sit at the bottom half of the ladder for the next 5 years or want to win flags?

    A very talented list with really no guts. Very soft under any sort of pressure. 

    This could equally be referring to Port / Hinkley, or GW$ / Cameron.

    Good point, based on this match Jacko wouldn’t be playing finals for a while if he turned purple

    Same old story with Port. When the whips are cracking, too much is left to too few. Boak, Wines & Robbie Gray. And Gray's body is failing him. The likes of Rozee, Duursma & Butters are often lauded but until they become genuine contested midfielders, they'll remain icing on a crumbly cake.

    My footy tips also hate Freo

    April is going to be a very interesting month of Football.  A few side with Top 4 aspirations and a couple more to make the 8 could find their season over if they can't find some wins.  Bulldogs, Port, Essendon, GWS would not have expected to be winless after 2 rounds.

    I think they were broken before that, last season before they beat the Bulldogs in rd 23 they hadn’t beaten a top 8 side. I’m of the belief that both coaches have lost their players. I don’t want to sound arrogant but the only team that stands between us going back to back is the Swans.

    • 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.
