Good to hear we’ve got the brains-trust commentating tonight. Richmond kick their first goal: Hamish, “And the Saints get their first.” When Luke Darcy comes across as the smartest in the room… you’re in trouble. 

You look like you've lost weight.

    Bedford 7 tackles. Those tackles would be handy in our forward half.

    No wonder the club was [censored] off losing him.

    Toby still the No.1 tackler inside 50 averaging 2.50 tackles per match

    Kozzy nipping at his heals in 2nd on 2.36

    It's great to see WCW. I've always seen run throughs from a creative perspective and lament the modern day version. It's not my place to be giving our current gang ideas but if I were to offer one piece of advice it would be when using a printed picture to cut around the outline of the player and place that directly on the backing. Unless the background of the picture matches perfectly with the colour of the backing. It needs to look seamless. Also, it needs to be balanced evenly between top, bottom and side as well as the lettering on the opposite side. 

    Not easily done, Rab. Images are “optically centred” meaning more space at the bottom than at the top.

    Also we have to be mindful of the top of the banner sagging forward or backwards at the top (Buddy was decapitated on his milestone banner last week because they stuck him on too close to the top).

    Another thing to consider is that the middle of the bottom of the banner must have minimal tape since that’s where the players run through.

    Also, we have to include several flaps (we cut out three sides of a 12 x 12inch-ish square every few feet) lest the banner turns into a 17th century sailing boat. 😬 These flaps have to be taken into account in terms of letter placement.

    The front lettering lining up with the back lettering can’t usually happen, different number of lines, wind flaps etc.

     I understand what you mean about cutting the outline of the player, but that can’t happen with a montage, and that’s what the Club likes to have.

    At some stage in the not to distant future .... the banner will be a 3D hologram.

    The players will break the plain in a smokey haze

    If that half time score of Richmond 10.7.67 to St Kilda 8.2.50 looks familiar, it’s exactly the same as Melbourne’s lead over Collingwood in Round 21 last year. The Pies got up in that game.

    Hashtag random. 😂

    You remember this score info, or you looked it up?

    Tigers fans booing every blatantly obvious free kick against them. 

    maybe boo your team for fouling?

    Yep. Remember the complexities only too well. Pity you have to defer to the club. It used to be our way or the highway 😂

    Collingwood and Essendon seem to have the highest % of scumbag fans whilst Richmond's just tend to be missing a chromosome.

    I hope Richmond continue this form into next week. Then lose every game 'til the end of the season.

    • 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.
