Why do you say that?

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns…

Sam Weideman is having a really good game tonight. Best I’ve seen him play I think. 
Good to see him doing well. 
 

(have just realised how handy he might be now, damn)

He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!

    just showed the footage of the north interchange infringement. they had one planned last change. then Shiel hobbled off with cramp and some player ran on

    surely a sensible organisation would just say you have to pull the bloke back off. not wait a minute it’ll the ball is with 50 and hand the game to Sydney. 

    really embarrassing rule

    After his first 2 goals he kicked 3 points. Led/marked well though.

    A couple of those points weren’t from the easiest of set-shots. But yeah, he wasn’t clunking his marks this well with us.

    The problem seems to be when the penalty is called. It can be really badly manipulated, as we saw today.

    Today a free to North was then overturned to pay the interchange penalty. Is that in the rules, I would think not.

    Waiting until the ball is forward of centre guarantees a goal.

    serious question 

    does anyone else get annoyed that the camera zooms in on play and we lose the wide angle view?

    they do it more and more. take that great Cameron goal. zoomed in on him so you lose all perspective. 

    i think this might be my personal pet peeve but it would make me feel better if anyone even got what i’m taking about. god knows my wife couldn’t give a [censored]

    That handsome Sam Weideman fella from Bombers looks decent. 

    Can't kick to save his life.

    has there ever been a number 1 draft pick that has copped less criticism or interest than McGrath? 

    decent player but nothing special. Jack Watts must be scratching his head

    Dusty Martin is the best kick in the league by a fair margin.

    DubDee - I am with you 100% on this.  Last night there was so much zoom in that viewers had no idea about what was up the field and where anyone was aiming much of the time.  Appalling.

    Who’s the commentator that’s been sucking on the helium? 

    Is Terry Wallace back on air?

    Essendon winning on the siren makes me feel sick.

    That Richmond player that kicked it out of bounds on the full beforehand and failed to register a point was shocking

    I thought it was Wallace at 1st.
    I think it's Burgoyne.

    • 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?

      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.
