Gerard Healey comparing Jimmy Stynes to Mason Cox. Give me a break. 

 

What did he actually say? I mean Jim achieved the ultimate in the game as an individual. Was picked in the State of Origin side. Cox plays one good game every 8 weeks. They were talking up his player ratings. It’s laughable to compare them

    Toby made the right decision for his career leaving Melbourne, he still wouldn’t be getting a game with us. 
     

    Some really interesting games next weekend.

    Collingwood are going to be in the grand final aren't they? They're likely to win it. 

    I mean we can't beat them. We haven't beaten them in years.

    Right on. That’s the defeatist attitude to live by.

    He was gushing about Cox, how great he is and how he came from the U.S. and learned our game and blah blah blah then almost as an afterthought he tacked on a throwaway line to the effect of “…and Jim Stynes came over from Ireland.”

    Just on the subject of Cox, that USA chant makes me sick. It’s one thing to have the American flag in the crowd (I have to say that’s ok since we wave Irish flags at our AFLW matches for our Irish girls) but to chant a player’s nation is bs. Why only an American player?????

    Collingwood miles ahead of everyone else and they’ve got multiple players to come back.

    The only thing going for the rest of the comp is that they have peaked too early and will run out of gas.

    Everyone said we were miles ahead last year too at round 10. And we all know how that turned out. 
    Smashing GWS at the MCG without Toby Green is not a premiership winning achievement ffs. 
    Yes they are setting the tone. Their game plan is what we’ve all adjusted to and they are hard to beat. But they aren’t impossible to beat and player vs player we have a superior list of talent. We absolutely can win it this year. But we have a lot to work on. Lucky it’s only May.

    Yes. Not close as a player or a sportsman, philanthropist or an all round humanitarian. Gerald Healey hang your head in shame.

    Barely noticed Nick Daicos today yet he has had 40 disposals

    He gets a few by kicking out after a behind and getting a handball receive when he runs past a player who's taken a mark.

    We have a great record against the pies in grand finals. Beaten them 6 times while they have beaten us just the once.

    They can be beaten, it appears some on here would lie down very quickly.

    Adding to that we’ve still got Carlton twice plus Richmond, North and the Hawks again. 
    Games against Port, Pies, Cats and Lions crucial to our top 2 hopes.

    No excuses not to finish top 4, top 2 very desirable.

    Absolutely. 

    And after this Round likely Top 8 wont also change now just the final positions. 

    Newbies from 2022 will be port crows and saints. All deserving.

    Bombers and Blues can whistle Dixie for rest of the season.

    For those that have the Pies pencilled in as premiers, no premier in about 20 years has been outside the top 6 at defending inside 50s.

    Collingwood look very good, but no better than we did this time last year and we all know how that turned out…. 

    Loooooooooong season and anything can still happen.

    Melbourne, Collingwood, Brisbane and Geelong all seem a cut above the rest at the moment.  Port Adelaide, Crows and Bulldogs also a chance on their day.

    They've played mostly the same teams as us but got close to Collingwood and port Adelaide. Honestly we have had a softer draw 

    I said fixture, so taken into account the draw and the travel as well. They’ve had a very easy run.

    Yeah I don't think we're in a position to accuse other teams of only beating up on lower teams.

    I love how we are poised this time round. I'd rather be underdogs on King's birthday.

    Are we lead by a Chamberlain, or a Churchill??

    Pies appear to be so even all over the ground. 

    Their midfield of De Goey, Crisp, Mitchell, Daicos, etc. bat deeper than probably every team including us.

    They may be vulnerable against our dual rucks though...

    • 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.
