Death, taxes and a Luke Darcy comment when a team is 3 goals up “next goal becomes super important”

    As well as Carlton are playing, Cats 17 scoring shots to Blues 8. Blues half forwards being murdered.

    it’s getting to the stage that I can’t even watch the Cats. I despise them that bad. Should I seek therapy??

    im watching the Freo match and heart rate decreasing

    No ... that's quite normal.

    However I'm sure you don't hate them as much as me.

    When we speak of learnings i hope our club has learned not to stand the line when marking an OOTF.

    The Doggies clever.  Started using the outside 5 rule to protect the inside play on or kick from this situation a fair while back.

    Cats & the Blues have now learnt and are also doing this tonight.

    As of last week we were still standing the line.

    You know the thing about the cats, they never seem to overuse the handball, it's generally one or two followed by a kick. Even when we're playing well, we just seem to overdo it, and that issue has plagued us since Neeld. There have obviously been games that are the exception but too few and far between.

    You have to applaud the Cats. As much as i hate to say it, they are the real deal and will be a difficult proposition in Sept. 

    Pressure has been through the roof and the Bkues look gassed.

    Scoreboard flatters the Blues. Their defensive ability across the whole ground is not there yet. They’re zero chance of winning the premiership this year due to that, but will be a serious contender in the coming years.

    Both Freo and Sydney are serious contenders. Freo for mine are ready to swoop on the flag. They’re probably the best defensive team going at the moment, and defense is what wins premierships.

    Haha, if you need therapy we probably all do. I feel ill just thinking about them winning the flag. I'd take anyone above them atm.

    yep. It’s hard to say isnt it, but  right now they’re the flag favorites. Gonna take a lot of beating to get past them now.

    The only thing would be whether they have peaked a bit too early..

    Yeh very strong allover the field the [censored].  Hard to find a weak area.  Maybe the ruck but usually that isnt a huge factor.  Certainly well organised, maintain their structure and strong over the ball.

    They attack the ball carrier straight away ...no hesitation at all.  The opp is always under frontal pressure.

    Freo might be a team to counter this frontal pressure as they prefer to fold back and then counter vs the attacking forward style of the Blues.  Where do we sit here i wonder?

    Cats are the most efficient team in the league atm. 18 scoring shots from 36 entries

    [censored] I hate them

    Our defense isnt to bad either

    What a pity Carlton are losing.  If they had won. 7 sides on 48. At this moment. Quite close. Really

    • 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.
