Amazing how many media ‘experts’ were talking up a Richmond renaissance in the preseason. Even after we belted them in a practice game, you had Whately carding on about it being like racehorse training and that Richmond were holding back and letting their stable mate show their hand. Complete nonsense 

I haven't watched 360 since all that rubbish Whately and Robbo were foaming on about and that Dusty might be back to his best. It really sounded like they were paid to say it.

    I see Luke Jackson had a good game last week in the the most 'off broadway' of games you could possibly get (GC Suns at Norwood during business hours)

    Let's see how the contested marking beast goes tonight on the biggest stage of all - Friday night footy!

    A loss to the Dogs tonight would be perfect.

    With games coming against Brisbane (gabba), Hawks, Swans (SCG), Geelong and then us they could potentially be 3-8 after 11 rounds and season over.

    Love this death ride.

    It's time for the Western Bulldogs to rocket back up the free-kick ladder. May the umpires miss every one of Libba's throws!

    C'mon doggies!

    Not sure what GC saw in Mac Andrew to draft him so high.

    I wonder if we would have taken him if he got through to our first pick.

    Instead of JVR? Or different draft?

    I think in any draft 'Gonzo'...I must admit to not seeing much of him at all but he looks highly speculative.

    GC have that many picks I guess they can afford that risk but...I don't know.

    I think we would have taken him, and developed him a hell of a lot better than GC ever will.

    He would have spent 2 years at Casey, and learning from Gawn and he would end up a good player.

    GC is the wrong place for him

    We apparently have his brother in our Academy squad.

    Expecting a new rule that bans any brother of a player who was in MFC Academy and is playing at another club, from going to the MFC.

    Sounds legit.

    No doubt that GC is absolutely the worst place for him to develop. I've got no idea how good he's going to be or if he can play but he's got some good tools and raw material to work with. Would have loved him as a Casey project.

    He looked good though. Easily his best game for them.

    How sustainable is it for them to rely on Jackson kicking from 50?

    I'm hoping the Dockers are like Musk's rocket ... suffer a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.

    • 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.
