So Port defender deliberately kicks it to space and goes out.(no insufficient called), Port ruckman deliberately hits it out from a contest (not called), then the most contentious of them all gets called deliberate. The only thing umpires are consistent with is their inconsistency.

    Dogs tried for 10 mins. 

    easy 8 goal win coming up for Port

    Dogs are the most mentally fragile team in the league

    Tasty game over in Adelaide. If Port get up the Dogs will probably need to win 10 of their last 14 games just to fall into the 8.

    I’ve got a conspiracy theory:

    When there is a Goal review (where the goal umpire asks for help from upstairs) quite often the resulting decision from upstairs is made almost instantly after the TV commentators have just given their summation / opinion of what they believe the correct decision will be. It’s literally a couple of seconds. And they’re always now on the same page, having same decision on what has occurred – but in previous years they never used to be.

    So BT is the ARC? God save us all

    Great to see the faux handpass after a mark / free being called play on.  
    And even better a free against the Dogs for holding the ball. 
     

    PS and now a second one.  🤗🤗🤗

    Pity it isn’t paid consistently.

    Dogs have received 3 frees in marking contests in last 5 mins, where marks would have been paid

    Still frees are PA 16 : 11 WB

    Good to see Dogs getting a raw deal, but this is pretty blatant

    Despite how putrid Port has been for most of this year, Sam Powell-Pepper has been just about the only one of them who hasn't dropped off, and has actually turned into a useful footballer rather than just a battler.

    Dogs defence looking very short.  Worth playing balls against them?

    The only thing the Dogs have been freed from since the Grand Final, is the ability to win.

    Just saw 4 throws by the Dogs in a space of seconds not penalised.

    • 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.
