what is it about Hoges, never takes a game apart. should have 5 and they’d be home

If he could kick straight he'd be B+ to A grade.  Such a commanding presence and a beautiful mark

Wouldn't mind him in our team right now but that's the stuff of dreams.  Bridges might have been burnt.  But the boy can play!

Mind you, the game was tough of my aging eyes ... bright orange & yellow everywhere.  Had to turn the brightness down on the telly

    Collingwood look off tonight and are missing their ruckman, De Goey and McStay might be out for the game.

    The scary thing about St Kilda is that they’re not even close to full strength.

    They epitomise what work rate and effort can do. Talent doesnt make as much difference as it used to. If they keep winning and get back their stars they’ll go deep. 
     

    We forget that they used to be a reasonable team before they fell off the face of the earth with no apparent reason.

    no way the Saints will be able to keep this up over the season. it’s all pressure and manic play  

    Ross is doing the right thing focusing on defence. but Saints don’t have the depth or talent to make the 8 this year. they’ll drop off like last year

    After our debacle yesterday watching saints and filth play actually gives me hope. What an appalling game. At least the saints have some injuries as an excuse.

    They said that about us in 2021. They are fit and they are hungry. Structurally they are excellent.

    They'll make the eight easily.

    do they have a Trac, Clarry, Gawn, May, etc? i reckon they are getting through on energy and pressure. us in 2021 were pokes apart imo

    they were 8-3 last year and missed finals

    well done Hoges

    Yes he effectively killed the clock with that last pack mark at high half-forward (Hawks side of the ground)

    I got the distinct impression that he didn't want the finger pointed at himself for missing those 2 easy shots

    Willed himself at the contest and iced the game.  It certainly was well done

    Could this be a Grand Final preview?

    No thank you.

    I hope we play the GF and I'd prefer we take care of business in the PF and smash the Pies.

    • 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.
