Being called an optimist is strange, as I am pessimistic about our game against Port. Port are basically at full strength and in good form, while we are not in great form and missing 60% of our goal to goal line, including our best player.

and 3-4 are in their worst form in some time.

    Can the Crows please beat the pies today. I'm sick of seeing those jammy bastards winning tight games. They are well and truly due a loss

    Pies are going to be equal on wins with us by tonight.

     

    Likely to be five teams on 48 points when our game starts tomorrow.

    Adelaide lack class around the ball but for most of what I’ve seen this year you can’t question their effort.

    Not many players can do what Tex can with both feet.

    Scott Pendlebury has nearly 350 games under his belt. He has 8 tackles so far in this game. No sign of slowing up yet

    and Toby is having one of his magic games against the bears

    Go Crows

    Hope so but Collingwood, as one would expect, are experts at getting out of jail.

    Hope the crows and giants win. 

    Seems the umps are a wake to Ginnivan and he isn't going to get his high frees anymore. 

    Good to see the umps not fall for it.

    Ginnivan would fair better with frees if his technique was more like Selwood's.  Selwood leans his head into the opps upperarm  and drops his knees just a fraction but usually keeps his feet.  Ginnivan leans his head into the opps shoulder but stretches his own arm up high which is a giveaway to the umps that he is staging.  He goes to ground waiting for the free, doesn't try to dispose of the ball and is correctly called HTB.

    I certainly don't condone Selwood's technique.  Prefer they were all penalised.

    Pies with the last 5 free kicks. Multiple missed for the crows. Insane

    whos at home?

    Crows delivery inside 50 letting them down. Poor execution and taking the wrong options

    It'll be tight but maybe some home town umpiring will see the Crows home

    Tex could give our forwards a few lessons on how and when to lead. I know he is a bit of a boofhead but I love watching his powerful forward movement.

    And although I hate to say anything good about the Pies, I consider Pendlebury the best Pies players I have seen. Sublime.

    I let myself get too excited by North last week, I'm not letting that happen again today with Adelaide.

    Fully assuming Collingwood pull yet another close win out of their rear ends.

    Winning close games is a bit of a skill, no doubt, but it's also a lot of luck. They're already 6-1 in close games this year, and IMO are in the conversation for having the least impressive "best" football for a top 4 contender I've ever seen. Their best football doesn't get close to us, Geelong, Fremantle, Carlton, Brisbane, or even Sydney, Richmond or the Dogs. But they keep games close with effort and they hold their nerve late.

    They're 6-1 in close games, actually

    • 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.
