That WC v GWS game is a nightmare to tip.

Ordinarily you’d be tipping GWS but they’re missing Whitfield, Kelly and Perryman from last weeks side and are on a long road trip to Perth after a 35 degree brutal game.

    Had West Coast last week, will go with them again but they are losing a friend in me fast if they lose this.

    Carlton should beat the old Cats. Im a little worried about their midfield without Walsh and Hewitt but they should dominate up front without Stewart there

    Both adelaide teams are a serious shout against the Pies/Tiges

    WC will get on the board against GWS

    and I'm hoping Gold Coast crush the bombers. If Weid is injured along with Fat Jake and Wright, who do they even have?

    Some cracking games this weekend.

    Other than Hawks vs Sydney, the rest could all go either way. Although you'd think Freo will destroy North

    I’ve gone eagles for those reasons. 2 of their best runners out.

    What about Essendon v GC?

    Recency bias would suggest Essendon but they beat a tanking Hawthorn last week and remain pretty shoddy on paper. GC were insipid last week but surely know they have to right the ship pretty quickly to avoid being stuck in their permanent world of irrelevance.

    Surely Carlton won't choke again.

    A 0 - 2 start for the Cats would be welcome.

    Suns normally start the season well, Sydney would have been a tough task for anyone. I rate their midfield higher than Essendon’s. Chol and Casboult aren’t start but paired well together last season. Suns won 10 games last year, Bombers 7 with Peter Wright. I think Suns are great value.

    Losing to Geelong isn’t a choke, it’s how they lose.

    If Curnow or McKay didn’t mark it, the ball came flying back out, and when McKay did mark it he struggled in front of goals. Why do key fwds continue to try and kick around their body.

    Yes BA, I'll be interested to see how they handle the last few mins if they're up by a goal or two.

    I hope you're right.  Essendon have already had too much success this season for my liking

    Tipping GC to bounce back and beat the scum. I am hoping there not as bad as what they showed last week.

    I want to tip them, I really do. Just can't quite see it, their record stinks there recently.

    Carlton and Cats is one of those games where I can't decide who i want to lose more. Another draw perhaps!

    Pies v Port should be a ripper. Looking forward to that one.

    I reckon Adelaide will beat the Tiges. They choked badly against GWS so will be out to atone on their home deck.

    And I'll be cheering on Norf when they take on Freo. #deathride

    • 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.
