    GC and Port have a better Percentage than the Pies! Can’t wait to see them with a tough draw next. Won’t make finals

    Lost our first game in round 11 and now there are several teams equal on wins. Second half of the season has been a flop for us (so far)

    Are we on the way to doing a North circa (I can't remember)

    I am so happy though that we are loaded

    Pies could do some damage in the finals.

    Unlike Carlton and Freo, Collingwood have plenty of veterans that played in the 18, 19 and 20 finals series. They’re not as young as the media make them out to be.

    I get it that they’re just scraping over the line against mediocrity but I wouldn’t rule them out in winning the flag. 

    I’d say Geelong would beat them in a final though.

    Sigh.

    They're 7-1 now in games decided by under two goals.

    I would love to know if there has ever been a side sit this high on the ladder this late into a season with a percentage of 106.2%.

    In their last 3 games they’ve beaten The Suns, North and The Crows by an average of 6 points.

    Sides come up with 3 more goals across their last 240 minutes of footy and they’d be 10th.

    Didnt see the game obviously a good contest and i notice frees about the same at Adelaide Oval. Collingwood got loads of them as did the  crows. Pies 22 frees last i looked may have been more.

    Melbourne? 3 frees in 3 quarters at the same game r16.

    How would Collingwood have gone getting 3 frees after qtr time today? Highly likely they would have lost.

    B****y Collingwood. As much as I admire Pendlebury I despise the jumper, the club, the club's history built on the back of John Wren's dirty money, and especially Ginnivan. I reckon I will watch the replay of the next game they lose. The fact they are equal with us on points makes me puke.

    That is something that will never happen. Umps like Collingwood as they do Carlton and the Dogs.

    There are few guarantees in life, but I reckon it's a dead set certainty that if it was us winning these close games against bottom six sides, you would be writing us off entirely as fluking it. Yet Collingwood does it and they are a chance to win the flag.

    Did Ginnivan drop his knee into the Crows player's neck/upper chest (late in the 3rd/early in the 4th) when they were wrestling on the ground?

    As it currently stands 5 teams on 48 points at the top of the ladder. If the blues were to get up, that would be 6 on 48+ points before we play....this is not the game we want to lose.

    Yes - they’re a chance for the flag.

    You disagree?

    Ginnivan is a [censored] but he is a hard player who gets to the ball. Im starting to think he is ok.

    I wish our pressure and tackling was as manic as what Collingwood’s has been for most of this year.

    When you know you're not going to get pinged when you tackle from some whistle crazy maggot, it makes a difference to both facets of pressure. That of course notwithstanding several  of the biggest appealers in the AFL.

  • Quote

    McRae close to coach of the year. The pies won't keep winning close games but he is extracting the maximum from this team. They tackle and pressure as good as any, run both ways and they take the game on. I hope they flame out later in the year but you never know. They could well go deep into finals

    Hard not to get excited though. 10.2 to 3.12. Keep it up, North!

    HQ would like North, Carlton, Sydney, Port and Gold Coast to win. 6 teams on 48, 1 on 44 and 8th spot still open with 5 teams on 36 points.

    Genuinely disgraceful from North. Where has this been all year? 
    Gotta feel for Noble.

    • 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.
