I thought the Saints/Port game was a contender for the worst game of the year. This might be even worse when you factor in the fact that this is the best possible conditions you can play in.

 

Looking forward to Swans/Lions though to see who the true #1 contender to us is.

    Dogs struggling to get away from a pretty average Essendon.

    Everyone's waiting for the Dogs to start a fightback to save their season. I'm not convinced it's going to happen.

    Right now it seems the best sides in it outside of us are Fremantle, Brisbane and Sydney. That may well be the top 4. Geelong has a whole lot of weapons but can't stop sides scoring. St Kilda and Carlton are 5-2 but neither is convincing.

    So if the bottom 2 are West Coast and North, who are the bottom 4?

    Essendon and Gold Coast? Adelaide perhaps?

    Port and GWS might be finding some form.

    Suns finishing bottom 4 will surely cost Dew his job. Essendon finishing bottom 4 might cost Rutten his job.

    Swans v Lions is like watching 36 men wrestling in a paddock. It is hardly even football. I like pressure games but this is more like Rugby League with tackle after tackle after tackle. No spectacle at all, and some of the worst field kicking you will see. 

    So tired of handball (throw) over the head, and so tired of poor goal kicking.

    Watching Essendon cop a merciless hiding never gets old. Nor ever will. Go Dogs!

    I’ll look for the highlights package of this game just to watch Essendon have goals kicked against them

    The Worsfold - Rutten succession plan has been a resounding success thus far.

    The SGC is the absolute worst regular-use ground to watch football being played at. I mean, you can't even fit regulation 50m arcs onto it - it's way too small.

    I wonder when the lanky guy with the pea head and ponytail due back for Brisbane?

    Lion's skill and pressure has broken through the Swans defensive suffocation to  break the game open. They are making the Swans look 2nd rate.

    Lions clearly the biggest challenger to us  hipwood back in 2 weeks

    Bailey McStay Cameron

    McCarthy Daniher Hipwood + Raynor 

    is easily the best fwd line in the league. 

    we have them marginally in the midfield and our defence is superior

    Different swans in the second half. They obviously got a serious bake from Longmire during the break

    Buddy has found a good batch of Voltarin (my favorite drug).

    Agreed. Best thing AFL could do is move GWS to Canberra and have Sydney play out of the GWS ground.

    Meanwhile Buddy is turning back the clock in the 3rd!

    Think the football played today has been pretty good. Pies and Suns had plenty of scoring throughout. Swans and Lions very high energy

    But Malthouse says they will be premiers. Maybe he is actually some other sort of …..house.

    Lions are proving Sydney aren't quite at the level.

    Seeding:
    1. Melbourne
    2. Brisbane
    3. Fremantle
    4. St Kilda

    Western Bulldogs could make a Grand Final from anywhere in the eight.

    It seems most people here think the Geriatric Cats are done... I am one of them 😎

    • 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.
