Today would have been a good day to go down to Centrelink if it was open.

Take heart that this will have done more damage to Essendon than good for Collingwood. A net gain for civilization.

The heart beats true

At least we don’t overreact here at Demonland.

Essendon have a ruck dominance similar to what we had last night. Doesn't look to be helping them either at centre bounces.

Noticed Gawn thumped it forward a couple of times and also took the ball out of the ruck.

We need to work out how to make use of such dominance as does Essendon

So the Bombers are with out their key fwd, yet through quick ball movement and low direct kicking to a leading fwd they can find targets that aren’t deep in the pocket?

Yep exactly.

Bloody hard for the likes of BBB and JVR if the ball movement is slow and bombed in

Wow , we almost got to half time before they showed Peter Daicos on screen and talked about how amazing it is he gets to watch BOTH sons play for the pies.

WE GET IT.

Every Pies game is a Daicos wankfest. Media frothing for him to win the Brownlow. Umps probably on board too.

Ripper contest. 

Our beautiful game shines through when those yellow clowns get out of the way and stop blowing the whistle so much.

The last quarter and a half they've hardly got involved and it's awesome to watch even though I really dislike both teams.

Great game of footy. 

If it continues at this pace, everyone will tire, and it becomes a big man's game. At this point Essendon's rucks might make the difference, like Gawn and Grundy did last night in the last quarter. 

If the Pies win, my tipping is 9/9. I loathe Essendon. I hope the Pies win, but I feel impure typing it.

Carlton - St Kilda was a tough pick, I chose the losing side.

Then I went too bold and picked North to upset GC.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
