I don't hate Frosty but must admit I enjoy watching him have goals kicked on him.

I do hate Essendon - everything about them. But, the 22 blokes in those hideous black & red jumpers deserve credit tonight. That was a tremendous win under the circumstances. Even found myself barracking for them.

Time to give myself a shower & possibly disinfectant treatment. I feel very dirty.

    Hawthorn look like a shadow of the side that discovered the blueprint to beating the reigning premiers. 

    First Carlton won this year's flag. Then Hawthorn won it by showing the football world how to beat us. Maybe Essendon now have one too?

    By the time we get to win one (in September), it will be cheapened and diminished by all these other premierships.

    Sam Mitchell always looks perpetually smug to me. Maybe not tonight. Hopefully, he'll get a phone call from the all - knowing Jeff Kennett to put a ribbon around today.

    And just like that Hawthorn have won one of their past 6 games. Pretenders.
    Were Essendon good or were Hawthorn just that bad? I know my answer.

    Peter Wright is one of the most improved player in the league this season

    I'd take him over T Mac and Weideman anyday!

    Went to Hamden in 1974 for Rangers v Celtic. Although I love the colours (green & white) but resinated with the R's. There were eight of us from various parts from around the world. (Rangers won) and the crowd was amazing. You could not move as we were shoulder to shoulder and one of our party complained of a "warm leg" from behind. Forget getting out for a toilet break. Great time though. Still love watching matches on Youtube. Atmosphere is brilliant.

     but resinated with the R's. Must have been quite sticky!

    based on this year he'a ahead but this season has been a break-out for him. Finally delivering on the talent he has. It was looking like he wouldn't make the grade 

    if anything it goes to show that patience is required with talls and perhaps the Weid might come good yet.

    Just about to post the same thing. Just watched a Crows player mugged as he chased whilst on the mark. Ump was right on the spot.

    What a pathetic bunch of umpires in the Ad/ Car game. Terribly soft decisions holding ball, pathetic attempts to even up once ball moves to backline   Talk about momentum moments Eddy Betts was on to it. Give us a changing of the guard with commentators prepared to speak their mind. Silvanghi always manages to fall over behind the play.Is because he is awkward or such a good player or dirty.

    Cripps is sooooooooo overated!

    Can someone please shed some light for me please. Fox and media in general stating that West Coast unable to field a full team due to Covid even as yesterday but I read that currently only a couple fall into that category and the rest are injuries. There is even talk of giving them a priority selection. Good God.

    All teams go thru injuries but their problems seem to stem inhouse with a lot of their players looking very unfit and susceptible to injuries. Nic Nat springs to mind.

    My mind keeps drifting towards a system of TANKING by them. How do others see this?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
