Richmond has to knock off north next week and I'm not overly confident about it. Could slide back to pick 6 in worst case scenario.

    Silver lining for a Freo win next week v Port, will be us back in the top 2. If the Pies also get it done. 

    Edit: I mean this slightly sarcastically. Massive silver lining lol

    Why is Richmond tanking? Don't they know the pick doesn't belong to them?

    Hardwick saw the mess and jumped early when offered a nice young list

    Not surprising to read that a lot of aspiring coaches aren't applying for the position.

    We'll finish with a pick between 4-6. JT will find a very good player for us in that range i'm sure.

    West coast Eagles are a laughingstock. How is Adam Simpson still in a job?

    Cost a fortune to break his contract.

    Things are so bad now after Freo debacle they may have no choice.

    Will be staggering if he's still there in 2024. Theyre a very wealthy club.

    They'll cut a massive cheque and be done with him.

    Adam Simpson is the least of the problems at West Coast

    Their list management and fitness and conditioning teams need to be thrown out. 

    They need a complete overhaul of both.

    Health and conditioning head has been sacked. And no doubt their recruitment has been poor.

    i think Simpson is a big part of the problem. for whatever reason the players are obviously not playing for him. Thats a death knell for any coach. the only reason he is still there is because of his contract. Too expensive to sack.

    Goldcoast now playing like they’re tanking. Hard to believe they could be this incompetent.

    Useless bloody Suns couldn’t hold onto their lead, but the umpires did help to drag the blues over the line.

    Pick 4 will still be ours as long as the Suns can knock off roos and the hawks can take care of Freo.

    GC lost but didnt lose much %

    Freo should lose some % tomorrow hopefully

    Yes. That push out of Casboult was pretty obvious. 4 umpires and none of them can see it.

    pick 5 minimum and still a good chance for pick 4.

    The hawks will beat Freo next week i reckon but I hate relying on the Suns to hold up their end of the bargain. Wouldn't be surprised if the chit the bed against the roos. Most undependable team in the league

    Roos losing in the Reid cup is an absolute certainty.

    Well it was, until the WC board changed their stance on the potential to sack Simpson.

    Yes but they still have Curtin.

    North could have called their bluff and said take Reid and we take Curtin.

    Then swap them 2 years later anyway.

    Both clubs now get their first choice player.

    true. but WC could have split pick 1 and got a couple of picks. 

    do you think they'll split pick 2 or take curtin with it?

    I like our chances of getting Pick 4. On form I can't see how Fremantle beat Hawthorn and Gold Coast should beat North. Or both sides could win or lose and Gold Coast make up the 1.6% percentage differential (32 points right now).

    • 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.
