The kids in the house love it Dwayne!

How can "threads the needle" not be in the Dwayne bingo card?

His commentary is as pleasant as listening to someone dry retching

    In the snow?

    I went there with Moonshadow a few years ago  (Jack Watts was still with us) to see us flogged by GWS.

    One of the coldest/windiest days I've experienced .... anywhere.

    Brass Monkeys were calling for oxy torches.

    Good God man, it's never that cold!... but yea the coldest day I've ever experienced was an August day trip there with my dad . He said it was colder than where he worked in Northern Finland. It's 9 d c but the wind chill makes it 9 below.

    Hogan may not be a great set shot but his contested markings still pretty good. And after he crashes a pack open is good at following up, collecting the pill and finding a teamate quickly.

    We could really use him now.

    Sits back and calls for the ball to be delivered most of the time & most of the time from behind.

    If it falls into his 'preferred' drop zone he looks great and occasionally a million $$

    When it doesn't ...well.

    And it often doesn't, which then sees him sooking for it a la Richo.

    The diff is of course that Richo had a massive tank and worked his opponents over by running them allover the park and capitalising on the fall out.  Nick Reiwoldt the same.  If Hogan had that work ethic/attitude he'd probably be a diff kettle of fish.

    A free for holding the ball without being tackled?  Did I miss a new rule?

    Sounds like GWS are getting some traction in Canberra. I just heard six people start a Giants chant when they got within 35 points of Brisbane.

    So Neale picks the ball up and blind turns away from potential tackles, but then runs straight into a tackler.

    Had prior.... 4 umps.

    That's immediately HTB right there...blow the whistle.

    But nup..... im gonna give Neale all the time in the world to get out of this tackle even though he's already had more than sufficient prior.

    So what happens.... tackler spins him around as Neale's trying to escape tackle and Neale ends up on the turf with one arm pinged.

    After all that the umpire finally makes the call..... dangerous tackle!

    So whose fault is the end result?

    It's the umpire for not calling HTB immediately Neale spun away from his opponents and straight into that tackle.

    Ditector of Umpiring &/or AFL need to fix this blight on the game & pronto.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
