would be nice to put a gap on a few more interstate teams.

Don't particularly want to end up third with Brisbane and Freo at 1 and 2

    That free kick against Davey (GCS) for running too far was diabolical. Critical time in the game. Coach killer.

    Surely players know that they are running to far. 

    But GC missed some easy goals that quarter, but it would be great if they could win.

    Their intercept marking has been off for weeks because they on't seem to know what they're supposed to be doing in this new Collingwood game plan. They've robbed Peter to pay Paul.

    Witts is a really good ruckman - some of his work is so good to watch. And although Buddy will do some miraculous stuff and may be even help win a game or two, a larger % of his work each week is becoming a liability.

    HTB free payed against Witts...

    "That's smart by Kennedy. Jumped on top of Witts and dragged it back in"

    🤔

    If everyone - including the presumably the umpire - can see that the tackler dragged it back in, why does this call continuity go against the guy under the pack who has been tackled?

    Jarrod Witts is the second best ruckman behind Gawn.

    Swans have been really poor in this final quarter. Can;t get any offence going at all

    I actually think the Suns have the bones of a really good side.. they probably need a better coach, and 2-3 really good experienced players but i reckon they can be optimistic.

    Problem is they get right on the edge about to explode and be raided again by Victorian clubs.

    This will go down as one of the worst last quarters in recent memory. Both sides hopeless.

    Bigger problem is that they have few players like Touk Miller who works his butt off..

    Sydney’s midfield smashed by Gold Coast

    clearances and contested touches 

    maybe Sydney aren’t that good

    Both those results good for us. Win tomorrow and we're 3 games clear of 5th (or possibly 4th depending in other results).

    Credit to the Suns but i'm not sure about the Swans top 4 bona fides after this quarter of football. They were dreadful

    • 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?

      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.
