A Big Friday night game.

Who would have thought it would be the "last chance saloon" for these two teams so early in the season.

If GWS beat the Cats that is probably goodbye top 4 for the Great Ocean Road team

The rest of the round is rather humdrum but perhaps the Crows upsetting the Blues could round out the weekend.

    Oh can hawthorn just do a job on Essendon so there is more media focus on them and talk about reviews, players who aren't performing and just there team in general.

    Will they have another Horror Show against Footscray?

    Well we will lose top spot this weekend (for at least 12 hours)

    maybe even go down the desperate lows of 3rd spot

    The Lions will gain around 15% I'd say!

    Why? coz their players don't look after their bodies and train/recover correctly.  they have 17 injuries and would be able to cope with players out with covid for one week

    get a decent conditioning and high performance coach and get some standards

    I don't get this. They are missing 3 players because of covid. The rest are injuries. That happens in footy

    Port, Freo, Tigers, Swans, GWS, Essendon, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide. 
    I suck at tipping though, tend to let MFC’s best interests and my hatred of teams guide me, not wise.

    Yep just read that. Honestly you just shake your head. Just be sensible. I mean you are entitled to have a life but when your club can barely fill a team each week just use your brain

    With the exception of GWS v Cats this week looks reasonably straight fwd, but as we know there’s been at least 2 big upsets each week.

    Don't know what the go is with FTA broadcasting this round, but it appears that only three of the nine games will be on Channel 7 - one tonight and two tomorrow afternoon.  Looks like there is no Saturday night nor Sunday arvo games on FTA.

    Anybody have any idea why they aren't showing the customary four matches at the usual times?

    Now what did Arnold Schwarzenegger say in that movie where he played the robot, when the janitor came knocking on his motel room door?

    I imagine Channel 7's response would be along the same lines.

    Two friday night games.... OK I can try to get on board.  One in Perth so obviously start the Melb game at 7 and then the WA game starts at 9:30 (7:30pm local time) so no overlap yeah?

    Oooh no, AFlL decide to start the WA game at 6:40pm local time and have an entire half is overlapped with the other game.

    Why you ask??  good question!

    I don't think north will perform well even with Freo's outs but still.

    can anyone enlighten me?

    Well…for that reason and that reason alone, there should be no cancellation of the game. Let the players and the team reap what they’ve sowed!

    Powell-Pepper running through the banner with a baby, who looks about a week or 2 old? WTF?

    I never see the point of footballers running through the banner with their kids, but this is next level.

    No doubt the commentators are told to not question or say negative things about the umpires

    thats the only reasonable explanation

    • 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?

    • 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.
