I wish him well for the most part but Weid is still the exact same player he was with us. Those dropped marks are much easier to watch when he’s in Essendon colours.

    are people seriously seeing the bombers as a potential finals team?

    aside from us 🤮 they have just beaten bottom 6 trash teams 

    they have the Blues Freo away Port Crows Cats the next five.

    they are a rubbish team. and shame on us for losing them incidentally

    This is the stone cold truth. While Essendon's playing style and delivery does suit him a bit better and his confidence has grown, I don't see dramatic improvement there.

    That was a [censored] end to what should have been a great Kanga's victory... :( 

    Bombers got the umps run and broke the Kangas. But Kangas were brave with Greenwood and Simpkin both out with Concussion. 
    Kangas midfield very impressive and missing some yesterday.  Imagine their future with LDU, Simpkin, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Phillips, Powell all young and upcoming stars imv.

    I've given Collingwood their credit and they are the media darlings at the moment. Far enough, they are a good side. But there's one question that I haven't heard or read from anyone:

    What happens to Collingwood's game/strategy/chances if Nick Daicos gets injured?

    Not much different to if Trac or Clarry are injured in September. It's exactly the same for all teams.

    Pies bat very deep in their midfield, but like every side, if they lose their best players they struggle.

    Brisbane lose Neale or Port lose Butters or Rozee and that could be difference between them winning a flag or not. 

    Likewise without Bont, Dogs are barely a top 8 side.

    See I reckon Daicos might be the most important player to their team's chances right now, the number of contests he's able to keep consistently getting to is completely insane and it directly impacts the way they setup, if you were to take away his influence they would still be a decent side but significantly less menacing and minus the death by a thousand cuts he's able to bring over the course of a game. 

    Yes those sides would be a lot weaker without those players but Daicos' input is just that beneficial in my view and if I were a Pies fan I'd rather lose Pendlebury or Sidebottom.

    But look at his contested Ball Numbers!🤮

    • 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.
