Anyone get the feeling they might be in trouble?

    Only thing I have observed from this Swans v Blues game is Carlton’s lack of a sponsor on the shorts. Hope they don’t find one.

    OK, it’s the end of the working week. It’s Friday night and the Aussie’s have won in Indore. Time to settle in for some pre-season footy. Have a look a couple of clubs, take some SuperCoach notes and just chill on a beautiful Friday night. And then…….Dermie and Derwayne spoil everything. My god those guys are just the worst. Does Derwayne think Hollands has a good work rate???. Early rant over. Go Dees.

    the mute button is your friend.

    Tim Kelly stinking it up again.  With the benefit of hindsight, one of the worst trades in history (for Wet Toast that is, Geelong laughing all the way to the bank)

    Complete total waste of money and draft capital.

    You could call it a capital embarrassment come to think of it.

    Have liked the look of Ginbey. Sad seeing Hunt in Eagles colours but wish him nothing but the best. 

    Sure is. But I avoid the sadness simply by turning off the TV…

    Might have been just a practise match but the Weid di himself no favours. Sounds familiar.

    I actually thought they were both rubbish with one side flattered by kicking straight. Fair enough St Kilda are missing their forward line, but I didn't see much to write home about - the game looked like a race for the spoon. Parish was unforgivably pathetic. The bummers should trade him for someone who has a crack (practice match or not).

    I watched about 5 mins, looked like a total tyre fire of a game. 

    Was he wasteful or just plain insipid?

    Barely got a touch and jogged around. I hope for his sake, Scott told him to take it easy.

    Oskar Baker gets Dogs first goal.

    Played a very good first quarter and is Bevo’s standout pre season performer.

    You’d think he’ll play round one based one his first half today. Looked very good.  Could be Lachie Hunter vs Sauce on one wing and Bailey Smith vs Lingers on the other.

    My early prediction for Umpires’ Pet of the year, is Bailey Smith. 4 blatant holding the balls called play on and he gets touched and soft free.

    Dogs look great in bruise free games. Umps still love them too.

    • 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.
