    Some ripper games this weekend

    The dogs to get the better of the the Cats

    We'll beat the Swans in a tight tussle

    Freo have their tails up after accounting for us last week and will beat the Lions. Suits us better if they do as well

    Geelong are going under the radar a little bit.

    They have made a few changes to youth and player roles: 

    • de Koning is doing a great job at FB which has freed up Tom Stewart who is doing a sterling job as a mid-fielder, rebounder or behind the ball.  Still able to play The General.
    • Stengle is a really damaging small forward.  Great kick i50 and kicks plenty of goals.
    • Holmes is injured but coming on in his second year.
    • They are getting better at switching between their 'control' and their 'territory' game plans.

    Scott is doing a lot of experimenting with player positions and ball movement to ready for September.

    They will undoubtedly make the top 8 and most probably the top 4 so no harm done if they win this or not.  I'd rather not see the Bulldogs in the top 8.

    Feel ill to tip Geelong to win...

    It looks like Freo will have a weakened team vs Lions this week with injuries to some key players.

    • Taberner who kicked two goals before being subbed out for half the game
    • Walters who was damaging buzzing around the fwd line
    • Chapman a key tall defender who took 14 marks and gained 436 mtrs.

    That game may not give us any clearer picture of the top teams than last week did.

    Tonights game will tell us a lot about where the Dogs are in 2022, if they beat the Cats i think it's fair to consider them a finals threat, if they don't maybe not

    If Dogs lose tonight, they'll be 6-6 and probably have to go 9-1 in the last 10 games  to finish top 4, and thus have any genuine hope of winning the flag this year. No team has ever snuck into the top 4 with 14 wins.

    Even if they win, they'll still have to go 8-2 to make top 4 with Melbourne, Brisbane (away), St Kilda, Fremantle, Sydney (away) and Geelong (away).

    I'm ruling out the Dogs to win the 2022 premiership.

    Honestly no idea who wins tonight. Danger still out but the dogs are so inconsistent.

    Under the roof, I think Cameron and Hawkins will be the difference and the Cats will win

    Dogs just don't look mentally switched on this year

    Cats by 1pt

    Already better than she who should not be named

    Jeelong may have one of the worst midfields in the comp but I'll still lean towards tipping them tonight

    Think one of the two sides will win by 10 goals just not sure which one

    Think Geelong have won 14 of the last 17 against the Dogs, thats a fair record.

    I hope the Dogs win on the pure basis even though we smashed them last year in the finals Geelong are still a bunch of flogs.

    The dogs, a team who are famous for being quick and moving the ball quickly, are looking slow and unclean while the cats, a team many were concerned about being too slow, look quick and slick.

    The Dogs have to be the most mentally weak team around. So much talent but zero application

    Doggies looking a rabble so far. Little system, poor skills, low energy. It is early in the match so anything can happen, but what happened to their highly celebrated midfield?

    • 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.
