Simply awesome.

Think Swans have to win by about 45 points to knock us off 2nd.

    Bradshaw yakking about the treatment of Zorko by Melbourne but not wanting to go near Zorko’s two headlocks and some clearly not right sledging. Total misread by him.

    I think about 10 goals

    Great win, but FFS Jaded and the others having a whinge about Brodsky getting the last two goals have a good look at yourselves absolutely pathetic 

    I doubt very much as a club we would be happy with conceding some soft goals in the last. 
    I would hate to play Sydney at the SCG and so would the club.

    We just love playing Brisbane, don't we.

    Before tonight they'd lost three H&A games at the Gabba in three years. Season on the line, many had written us off (they went in favourites with the bookies), and we held the highest scoring side in the comp to 17 scoring shots, four of which came in the last five minutes.

    After the Dogs loss we had Fremantle (away), Collingwood, Carlton and Brisbane (away), and went 3-1 to secure top 4 (with the only loss being a tight game where our opponent kicked super accurately).

    Finals start in a fortnight, but unlike most of our competitors, we've been quietly playing our own finals series for the last month.

    We're ready to go.

    So that's essentially confirmation from Richo that Zorko has said something about Petty's family that was enough to bring him to tears.

    What a disgusting human, let alone a captain of an AFL team.

    Sydney will need an 8 -10 goal win, depending on scores Saints kick

    Who is mathematically able to work out how much Swans need to win by to overtake us?

    Around 3.4%

    It was something Zorko said. 

    Maysie was giving him a verbal as he was coming off. I also saw him mouthing ‘That’s bull poo’ to Choppers (although it was the more explicit version). Some home truths must have been said to get that reaction.

    If it is Zorko, he needs to pull his bloody head in. This isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble for exceeding the bounds of good sportsmanship.

    Are you serious?

    (PS not sure about the premise of your argument anyway. We're 7-0 on the road, whilst 5 of our 6 losses this year have been at the G, including to Sydney).

    If the Saints can keep things to a respectable 7 goalish loss, then we’re back at the G for finals!!!

    Come on Saints you bunch of no hopers!

    • 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.
