    what the one he got when the guy wrapped an arm around his neck in the tackle?

    Come on mate, take off the blue and red glasses, there was a “little lean” into that.

    Definitely adults only over on the Port Adelaide Big Footy board.

    Suffice to say most vitriol directed towards the coach rather than the players

    What. Langers hasn't spent a second on the bench all year. Freak. Is he even human?

    I've heard they have trouble getting him off the ground for the half time break.

    Rd 1 2013 they killed us and set us up for a horror season resulting in the sacking of our coach.

    It's about time we returned the favour.

    Sorry if already covered, but can someone explain that 50m to Langdon for me?

    I get the free for holding, but why the 50?

    If the dogs can get 30 plus frees each week by gaming the system then I’m happy to get a couple as well 😂

    Can;t believe how bad Port are. I know they are depleted but no fight or spirit shown at all. Surely they'll give a yelp in the second half. If not then Ken will be in serious strife 

    They're trying.
    Just can't beat the whole ground defence.
    We're choking them to death.
    The Demons are Jiu Jitzu blackbelts.

    Looked pretty soft to me...

    I reckon Hinkley would give his left nut for a 2nd ruck right about now. Main thing I want to see is our mids setting up better on our Ruck advantage. Max should be smashing it 40 m like Fitzpatrick from now on. And can Viney and Picket keep smashing Lycett's shoulder. Port have been late with their hits repeatedly.

    port did well to hold us up forward of the ball

    Sparg and Picket have been good with the pressure tonight

    would like to see better ball movement in the forward line, they have worked Weid out of the game

    track being tagged again?

    Gawn has been great around the ground so far

    out of all the non vic teams, LOVE keeping this mob goalless to half time

    lets tear them a new one in the second half

    I will go into my personal debt for the rest of my life if it means keeping Jackson just one more season. Arguably a Top 20 player in the league already (but needs more exposed form).

    And to think there were some fools out there who wanted us to draft Hayden Young! Egg all over your face. PS. Don't look back through my post history in 2019.

    Haha. Yes I believe I was in the Hayden Young camp also. That super kick in his highlights package sucked me in.

    Fritta classy.

    Even so, Weightman doesn’t do what Spargs just did and is hammered in here…. But of balance lad.

    The. Commentator mentioned  the give and receive or the ol soccer one-two. But I never knew that was actually a rule.

    Ugh Max's goal kicking still frustrates me. 

    At least we opened up the game but we have to continue on with it and really thrash Port. They will come out with nothing to lose and will probably play more freer. 

    I haven't minded McDonalds game, everytime he goes for goal I have full confidence he will kick it. 

    I don't know if it's because we have been spoilt by Farmer and Davey over the years but I just want Pickett to do something.

    When a player disposes of the ball to a teammate and try’s to run to link up the next play but is impeded by the opposition player it’s a free plus 50 metre penalty.

    They are too busy minding the likes of Tracc & Clarry in that first half to get enough of the pill themselves and get any  momentum.....so far anyway!

    Big Max is being mauled in the ruck and around the ground....as usual.  And of course zero protection but always called for blocking at the slightest hint.

    Lycett constantly wrapping left arm around Max and over the shoulder on a couple of occasions.

    The player just in front of their last guy who marked before the siren..... cannons in to Max's neck/head with no eyes/intention of going for the mark....zero protection/favours.

    Need to put the foot on their neck this quarter.

    Viney's had a very good half along with Jordan, May, Lingers, Nibbler & Gus (no doubt a few others ive left out).  I like Harmes's gut running and willingness to close up on multiple opponents to pressure when we don't have possession.   Gus, Bowey & Hunt also here.

    Tracc started to find some space in the latter half of the second.  Whoever his young opponent is, he's about to find out how hard he is to stop (if Port leave him on Tracc that is)

    P.S. who put the hand in to cause that turnover on our half of the square that quarter (thinking Sparrow, Nibbler or Harmes).

    • 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 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.
