    So how about swans win, beat Geelong next week, buddy gets his swans flag, retires & we don't have to worry about him ever again, Dangerfield is heartbroken & we move on from the 2022 season

    That Sydney forward entry was pure Melbourne. Long to the pocket to where the ruckman is, but the marking forward takes the grab.

    Zorko after the game. "We'll go over in the pre-season, have a really good look at it and see how we can get better and back next year … we can't sweep it under the rug". 

    I'm hoping we learnt from 2018 and reviewed last friday night to see what we did wrong. It's obvious to us supporters but I still find it astonishing after our 2018 prelim disaster the team and Goody didn't review it. 

    Despite what was said, does anyone really believe that it wasn’t reviewed??

    I did notice that apparently two million Victorian viewers turned off after half time including hundred thousand cats and Brissie put their beloved human murder game back on. 

    So well done AFL couldn't provide a decent game for half weekend so far.

    They would have had a lot more second half viewers had the game started at 7:10 and not 7:50 pm.   So many neutrals in particular turn off for the second half unless the game is a ripper.

    Glad Reid is having a good game against a team other than the Dees. 

    Lets hope he continues on with that

    More like a final than the open training run last night.

    Good game so far.  Heeney having a quiet one so far so some upside still for Sydney.  
     

    Been a while since I’ve watched a SCG game.  Such a unique ground.

    The Zone of Indecision (26 points) strikes again

     

    Sort of remember growing up that a five goal lead was game over most weeks.

    Geelong will be very nervous right now, Sydney look like a team destined to win this.

    I know. I hate the simplistic hand wringing over this. They are professional sports coaches who train for years to recognise patterns and structures in game. They watched the whole thing unfold up close in person. They knew what it was, because they saw it happening.

    The Pies supporter group looks like a group of prison releases.

    • 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?

    • 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.
