Now proud to call him a son of a Melbourne Brownlow Medalist 

He’s now on my ‘I wanna hate him but I can’t’ list, dagnabbit.

    End of Round 6.

    Dees have most points for, and 6th fewest against.   Pies and Bombers dropped significant % today. 

    Doesn't mean much at present but leaves a nice feeling till at least Saturday evening.

    My iphone overheated  when Daicos put Pies in front. I had to turn the radio volume right down but it made no difference. Noise when Pies kick a goal is deafening. Imagine being out there on the bloody ground!

    Definitely helps Collingwood win games.

    They never give up.

    QB we need a hard tag on ND. i don’t care what people say you can’t have a bloke sit off the play and collect forty 95% uncontested possessions. 

    i do not subscribe to the idea that you cannot curtail that for an uncontested player. 

    bring in Harmes. he will smash it

    Wonder if Nick ever wakes in the middle of the night to see Josh standing over his bed staring at him.

    Sorry to disappoint but Cats have us covered by 2 points for highest scoring team.

    Makes last week look not too bad…. Bombers have worked out the pies - pressure pressure pressure, no corridor opportunities.  Have to be able to go HARD FOR 4 QTRS to beat either of these teams.

    That aged well.  Pies lifted, Bombers crumbled.

    Bummers play Geelong next week. Looks like they are due for a bit of a slide down the ladder

    Collingwood outright premiership favourites for me.

    Nick Daicos unfolding in front of our eyes is just pure greatness. 

    Premierships aren’t won in April mate. I still think our games matches well with theirs.

    What is even more worrisome is that they have gears. They can turn it on when they need to win games or just stay in cruise control to preserve their bodies.

     

    Yep.

    They're next level. Hurts me saying this but I honestly enjoy watching them play. So exciting with their brand of footy and admire McRea for turning this club around on field.

    Yup. 

    Port tried to tag him, (the port bloke didn’t do a great job) and what it showed is Daicos is QUICK from a standing start. Goes from 0-100 in a couple steps. 

    Whoever tags him needs to wear him like a glove and be physical. 

    Even then, he only needs 10 minutes and  he can take the game away from you. Unreal player.

    if he is that quick you can get a smart tagger to, at times sit off, goal side a couple of metres. tagging is a skill that is under-utilised in footy. most times ND gets it he is on his own. it’s staggering

    No it doesn't 🤣 especially on form alone.

    They've had the absolute wood over us over the last 5 years. One of our now bigger bogey teams.

    We have only Salem who's best 22 to come back into our team whilst they have Adams, Murphy, Lipinski, Howe, Cameron and McStay.

    Their upside is enormous compared to ours.

    He's actually drawing attention to himself by drawing attention to sideline signals.

    Either of those boys would run rings around him, so NO, the Lions and Bombers to a large extent except in the last quarter, showed how to play them and it's simple if you are disciplined, it's not the first possession that matters it's the follow up possessions that hurt you, forgetting who's who the one that kicks out then runs on for the take disposal and the next one what you have to do is position yourself so he cannot do that the other one hangs back from the contest or he starts to run in thus his opponent goes with him and then he backs out and becomes a free man, all it needs is that one player at a contest stays with him it does not have to be one person and thats called discipline.

    We’re second in points for - Geelong have 2 points more than us.

    lol "it's simple" no one can even understand your run-on sentence let alone enact it on a footy field.

    I know this is not ground breaking stuff, but the pies supporters are next level. Every time the camera cut to the crowd, middle fingers a plenty.. 

    Commodore circle work tonight & Woodstock bourbon cans for that lot.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
