Jason Taylor was a big Humphrey fan, good to know he’s still got an eye for it. 

After the early morning post match review, straight to the pool room to watch Humphery at 9:30.

    They are a very good side wait till you see what happens to us on KB.

    Yeah I know.

    The two games last year against the Pies confirmed that we can’t go the distance with Collingwood’s manic and fast paced football.

    Port are now becoming trust worthy.

    In prior years this would be the sort of game they’d drop on the road as favourites.

    Anyone see then as a flag chance?

    We play Alice, we won’t get the Darwin game. 

    why not... the Darwin game is an away game and will be rotated through the smaller Melbourne clubs of which we are one

    We lost to Sydney twice last year which many said “confirmed” we couldn’t go with them. 

    I hope the club hasn’t written our chances off like you have.

    This question shouldn’t need to be asked. 

    They are 100% a flag chance. Right now they have claims to being the best side in the comp. They have already shown that, no matter what happens today.

    Because both games are played around the same time of year, and we can’t and won’t be made to travel to the NT twice in as many weeks. It just won’t happen.

    Expected a lot more from The Tiger today. Hardwick would be gutted "watching from home" by the lack of response so far.

    Bit tough they are only a goal down.

    How good is umpiring…. Said no one ever

    Footy is becoming unwatchable. Need to go back to three Umps with the fourth watching from the stand. The AFL need to do something about it but wont.

    They missed heaps in the first half. It was the only reason we were still in the contest at half time.

    Why have umpires stopped paying pushes in the back in marking contests?

    They’re looking very good.

    • 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.
