It's a Major general tanking alright.

    Anyway, back to the game. I expect the Hawks to take it right to the Dockers until late into there 3rd quarter, and then pull on the handbrake.

    The AFL is well aware of their tactics. 

    At the start of the year Caroline Wilson reported the AFL were filthy with Hawthorn for exiting all their experience last year.  To name a few:  O'Meara, Mitchell, McElvoy, Dunstan etc thousands of games experience.   She even mentioned that evil word: priority pick. She said no chance they will get one given their deliberate list decimation.

    Not long after, one of the co-hosts of a Dunstall program mentioned that evil word.  He grinned.

    It isn't just pick 1 they want, a priority pick is their end game, if not this year then next.

    They have learnt nothing from the wasted years and culture destruction at the dees and blues 10 years ago from tanking. 

    Regardless of what Hawks do we will still end up with pick 5-7 from Freo or if we are very lucky #4.  And whatever pick we get I'm confident we will get the player we want at the top of the draft. 

    Hawthorn are one of the most arrogant clubs around. They think they can tank and make it work (exhibit A, the start of Clarkson's journey). They probably think Melbourne and Carlton are just inept clubs that couldn't tank as well as them for the end result of 4 flags in 8 years.

    Yes he does, but if they bring in that bloke McDonald, I think it was, who had 100 possessions against Casey, the ball will live in their forward line.

    Picked it.

    Just my opinion, but Jackson is still my #1 pick if the 2019 draft were re-done now.

    Absolutely no way is he's still number 1 lol

    By your reckoning Sam De Koning should be number 1 because he's a premiership player and has higher ceiling? Played CHB for a premiership team which is just as hard as playing ruck.

    He's absolutely no way ahead of Kozzie Pickett as a starting point.

    Chad Warner up from 39. What a steal.

    Kosi could be higher given 100 goals and defensive pressure.

    Jackson has a high ceiling and may or may not get there. Serong, Anderson, Warner are consistent performers now so are rightly ranked higher at this stage.

    If Greene played for a good side he’d be number one. He is a gun. Anderson is also really really good. We are just starting to see what he can do. 
    On the contrary if Jackson ended up at GC nobody would ever speak of him again.  Jackson was very lucky to get to the right club at the right time. We really fast tracked his development and he was lucky to play under Gawn and with one of the best midfielders going around.

    I think on known form I would have him around 7-8 and you could make an argument he would be last on that list.

    Not a truer word spoken on Demonland.

    So Freo v the Tankers today. Should be interesting viewing.

    Is there another game on today that I should be aware of? 😜

    Most arrogant thing they did was include 2 flags in their 5 year plan back around 2018.

    They genuinely believe they will always win flags on a regular basis.

    Do we want the Tigers to win to go above freo, or are we really gunning for pick 1 and the Eagles to win?

    I want Eagles to win for Hunty. We won’t get to pick 1. Hawks have it in the bag.

    That would rely on Hawks losing to a WAFL side down in Launceston in a couple of weeks.

    That would be the ultimate tank job.

    If we make a GF and Cats are the opponent I would instruct the boys to somehow get Cameron out of the game early, legally of course!!!!

    • 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.
