This is not Melbourne. If they lose this from here it would be the worst choke in the history of the game. 

I would have thought the Pies choke in 1970 grand final - where they were 7 goals down at half time (I think) against Carlton - would be worse. Let’s hope history repeats.

    Reid should never have played, especially when they had other talls like McDonald and Amarty fit and ready. Swans weren’t strong enough in the air to cover him if he struggled.

    So 1970 and 44 point adrift when Barassi said Handball Handball Handball. But they were playing the Pies so it was a lot easier.

    It was a pretty bloody important game!

    True. But Sydney don’t have it in them. 
    I hope I am wrong because nothing would please me more than a Geelong choke honestly.

    Clarry needs a stylist. No one of his complexion should be wearing that red.

    It’s interesting to see sides fall away from one game to the next.

    - Reid has been huge lately, massive loss

    - Swans pressure being nullified by Geelong accurate kicking and dominance in the air

    - Heeney hardly sighted, having a mare

    Buddy Buddy Buddy. The most over rated footballer over the past 2 seasons. There I’ve said it.

    Jeelong haven’t given the Swans any space to move. That has created the Dominance

    Half time entertainment going about as well as the Swans. 

    Yep, that temper trap song wasn’t the best.

    Lucky he signed that contract last week. On the plus said Sydney has been so bad there is only one way they can go.

    Clearly blew 99% of the entertainment budget on Robbie

    Might have something to do with our game plan vs the frenetic attack at all costs stuff Geelong dished up to them in the first quarter, I suspect. 

    Yes man v man almost everywhere in the first 10 minutes or so Mr Hood.  Think the bigger taller bodies of the Cats plus the all ground pressure unsettled the Sawns.  Especially their younger brigade.  The Swans have a few more sub 50 gamers (effectively rookies) than most finalists i believe.

    It’s a great song. It was just brutally murdered in cold blood.

    There is more talent on Robbie's left buttock than pretty much that entire bunch other than the drummer (not bad!)

    Yeah agree with WCW it is a good song that was just a meatloaf type performance sadly.

    The half time entertainment started as poorly as the Swans.

    Pathetic would be overly generous

    So, even after feeling OK having had at least made the semi-finals, and the Swans being in the GF, it now looks as though I have to endure the Cats winning.  There is not enough Shiraz in the whole of Victoria to make that thought palatable. For the love of all things sacred, please no...

    • 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.
