AFL site does that you have to refresh for it to show half time.

    Bit weird watch Weid play well and then a GWS forward line with Bedford and Hogan in it.

    That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable 

     

    It become so predictable by the 2nd quarter that now opposition teams just swam in numbers to the contest that'd been kicked to and just put number us.

    Port did a number on this on our kick outs.

    Listening to Nathan Buckley comment on how well Collingwood are playing is odd.

    Whats changed since they finished 17th Bucks - seeings it’s 90% the same list? Oh, you got sacked.

    Has all the skills, my problem was his intensity, goes to show a regular game and structure in the forward line helps, I wonder where we could do that?

    Can’t help but feel we dropped the ball with Weed. We have TMac BBB and Schache doing very little when the Weed in the forward line with JVR who provides the intensity could have worked well.

    St Kilda showcasing the Belgian national colours.

    The Saints actually switched to those colours during WWI as the German colours were red, black and white.

    Saints win the award for the best indigenous jumper in my opinion

     bizarre that not many have used yellow. especially essendon who have the other two colours on the flag

    Toby Bedford can run but little impact. 

    Gritty win by the Saints. Would gladly take Wanganeen Milera off their hands.

    And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    The best batting coach I had was a world class bowler. One of the greatest swimming coaches of all time - couldn't swim. It is beyond dispute that there is little correlation between a coach's competence and their capabilities as a athlete.

    West Coast are putrid. Melbourne 2012-2014 level putrid.

    I reckon WC are setting new levels in this space BDA, not doing an AFL pre season type levels.

    How can the highest profiting club in the country not have a world class fitness and conditioning crew.

    The amount of injuries they have is unforgivable, it seems as though they have carried over the old can't train because of covid 19 excuse.

    Do they have a medical department?

    It's the biggest tank going around on wheels and know one in the media in either WA or VIC have dug up a thing.

    This is as systematic as it gets and Adam Simpson isn't even under pressure because the board have backed him to tank the lights out in 2022 and 2023.

    They were dead set turnstiles today.

    he got every chance in 2022. If he had come on we might have had a different outcome.

    Good luck to him at the Bombers but his time with us was up.

    Jesse Hogan on the other hand...

    Wait and see how he goes when Wright  and Jones return. He is playing with more run and leading I admit but for how long.

    • 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.
