Only good thing is Collingwood had to line up and cheer Selwood and the cats win!

    Did the Cats take amphetamines, or did they dope the Pies with Valium?   Swab the lot of them.

    Still, a long season and the Cats will tire by the late rounds. 

    Lights out early last night at the nursing home.

    Along with a Nafan Bucks you were not a great coach.

    I’m kinda fascinated in what Geelong are going to do in the next few years with their list.

    Hawkins, Higgins, Smith, Selwood, Blicsavs, Danger, Thouy, Stanley, Rohan, Ceglar, Menegola, Duncan and Stewart are all over 30.

    Even Cameron and Guthrie are both 29…

    And the players they have coming through that look alright (not superstars):

    I don’t think Geelong are a destination club after last year (If Im a 25 year old free agent and I want a flag, I’m going to Melbourne/Brisbane/Sydney/Bulldogs/Carltonbefore I even consider Geelong), soo do they go to the draft? With 13 senior players dropping off left right and centre of the next couple of years?

    I think Collingwood put their watches forward an hour instead of back.

    If Chris Scott had coached Geelong in a different era he would've signed Cliff Young as a category b rookie.

    Cats effort in last qtr was pretty good. They sent their Captain a fitting win and everyone contributed in my opinion.

    Full credit to them.

    What are the odds of Noble going around as coach next year? Sure he doesn’t have much to work with, but he is such a vanilla and boring coach.

    Geelong does still have that lifestyle card, if you consider high-class dining in Melbourne of a weeknight, with being a surfing-farmer-come-afl-footballer the rest of the time a lifestyle.

    Actually, it doesn't sound too bad now that I write it down. Too bad their jumper sucks and I can't stand anyone who has ever worn it.

    Without wanting to reopen old wounds, North are winning general and centre clearances, while losing by 95 points....

    So we draw a big crowd to our home game. Essendon failed us, so the least the Pies can do is earn us some $$$$

    Some things are worth more than money. Like the filth going on a nice long losing streak. Can’t put a price on that Mazer.

    The positive is the filth lost.

    The negative is girlong won.

    I still maintain that Geelong are on their last breath. 
    Collingwood like Carlton have come out this year playing manic footy. Manic footy is unsustainable for a whole game let alone a whole season. 
    The first half showed how weak Geelong is when under pressure from the opposition. The second half showed that Collingwood will be unable to sustain pressure for 4 quarters and have no idea how to defend a lead.

    Pies play exciting but dumb footy. They burned themselves out in the first three quarters. About the only side that will be more tired than the cats in last quarters.

    • 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.
