    very interested to see how we go against the aints in a few weeks

    they seem to be able to get a man - usually 'missy' higgins - out the back on a regular basis, and max king's height + mobility might actually be a tough match-up for may; i wonder whether petty might be a better match-up

    They look like we should be able to do our usual thing - strangle them and prevent too many clean I 50s to King in particular

    Agreed he has improved.  We'll have to wait until we play them to see how it pans out!

    As above - strangle them.

    First-world problems, but are the Giants' official 'orange and charcoal' colours a con-job? They look orange and blue to me.

    He said it hit the ground and he was correct. 

    So now you can’t even say something which happened?

    That sort of decision is only going to decrease respect, not improve it. 
    Absolute rubbish.

    He could tell the umpire he is short and ugly too.

    It's not a defence.

    I love BT’s attention to detail:

    Mentioned this is the first AFL game in Canberra for 2 years, since before COVID.

    Pretty sure GWS played Dogs in Canberra on a Friday night in round 6 last year. A game which  BT himself would’ve commentated,  being a Friday night game.

    I'm waiting for the AFL directive to broadcasters not to replay contentious free kicks.

    They also played a game against the Dees in round 3. Kozzie lit up Manuka that night

    How was what he did dissent tho? He wasn’t rude. He wasn’t demonstrative. He wasn’t argumentative. He stated a fact and he was correct. 
    The rule is now “don’t talk to umpires”? If it is fine, but last week it was don’t put arms out, and I’ve seen 3 already go unpunished. 

    The dissent rule is impossible to umpire consistently.

    Yes I was there with the advantage of not having to listen to BT

    Needs to urgently replaced with abuse.  Disrespect is just so subjective. Is rolling the eyes allowed?

    that's cos it's not a 'rule' it's an 'interpretation'

    Don't complain about umpiring decisions. It doesn't matter how justified you think you are in telling the umpire that he is wrong, just don't do it. 

    Simple.

    • 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.
