Hawks 2 points behind the Blues 

their 3 year rebuild looking a lot better than Carlton’s 20 years one 😂😂

Didnt think the blues could drop much further than 14th but 16th is there for the taking.

    Must say the live ladder is doing my head in with games played by the various teams. Not looking forward to the world of 19 teams.

    Good result for us.

    Longer term, Hawks have drafted well and looks like Mitchell is a good coach. They won't be cellar dwellers for long which is a pity cos i really dislike the Hawks and would love to see them languish for decade or more.

    Lions have the softest run through to September of any team.  6 Gabba games mostly easy kills and big % boosters. A couple of winnable games in Melbourne and theyre still a huge chance for top 4.

    How the hell did we lose to them in the semi last year  ffs.

    It means nothing if they can’t win away from home. And history suggests they cannot.

    Lions looked tired and slow. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy they lost but I reckon this plays into the loading argument. They’re a way better side than that performance and guaranteed come Sept they will be a very very good side.

    There's a couple of players who have really stagnated at the Lions. Zak Bailey looked like he could be a star at one point. He may be a player needing a change of scenery - i.e. Dees. Not sure of his contract situation.

    So the 2022 Hawks must have gone pretty well huh?

    Once in a while the hawks do something good for us.    Juys need to the blues to somehow crush the druggies to keep that points gap.

    No fan of Adelaide but I hope that every arrogant Eagles supporter that I ever encountered in my trips out west are miserable watching their team these days. 

    I lived there for 2 years, and couldn't agree more. One-eyed, ill informed, back country, red necked fools who are loud, dumb and hyper annoying.

    You'd be disappointed if you were a Suns supporter with Rankine. Half-hearted squib with them.

    They should have got both the King brothers that draft.  They’ve done pretty well with the Rankine pick the second time around though - Humphrey is a gun.

    Um sorry just saw the Hawks lions score. How did that happen 

    The Lions are loading for September and the hawks jumped them.

    I think they'll make the Top 4 but disagree with you about the soft draw. They should thrash WCE in Brisbane R17 but I can't see them having big percentage boosters in too many other games. The have Away games against Melbourne (at the MCG), Collingwood (Marvel !?) & Fremantle. They play St Kilda twice (H&A) and St Kilda don't concede big scores. They also are playing Gold Coast away. They'll have to win more games than Melbourne to finish above us.

    Eagles are bringing the game into disrepute.

    • 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?

      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.
