Reckon the around the ground umpiring has been reasonable so far, but they have no clue when it comes to ruck contests. Grundy getting scragged hard in every contest, gets donuts, so does similar back and the whistle goes!

Yes Grundy being manhandled in the ball ups, before the ball is even bounced and for once decides to put an arm out to keep some distance to contest the ball and gets pinged for a “straight arm”  by the umpire. What are you supposed to do when you get no protection from the umps? And add in Petracca who is being obviously held at stoppages by his tagger, often in front of the umpire but gets nothing. Tracc is getting frustrated for obvious reasons.

    The scragging of our players at stoppages is incredible.

    ANBs kick into the f50 with a minute to go sums up our forward entries.

    We may win this because their defenders are dropping a lot of those bombs into our forwards. I can't get over why we don't lower our eyes. This has been going on for years now.

    Anyways, it's going to be a knock it forward at all costs game now and I hope we get up. We should take control but geez I'd like to see some forward connection

    Will Rowan get three weeks for careless high contact on Cameron?

    I know this is tongue-in-cheek but what is the difference? Both were contesting the ball. It just goes to show how stupid that rule is.

    We are now very much on top. The wet ground and the poor excuse for an AFL standard oval kept Geeling in it.

    Stop the 3-4 small in close handballs.

    We don't crumb packs well at all. Bruhn, Close and Miers are a cut above our crumbing players.

    Salem, Hibberd, Grundy, Smith and Rivers playing well.

    Please stop kicking it straight to Stewart and Guthrie.

    Before Kosi kicked that goal he was blatantly held in front of the umpire. Maybe we need 5 of them out there.

    Held? he got full on tackled without the ball

    Rohan should be looking at weeks for that hit on Cameron. Careless / High /  Severe Impact  = 3 matches.

    Tom Stewart dog act and Ralphy trying to talk it down to a fine.

    Dunstall  more honest said he saw Viney injured, moved over and pushed him over onto the sore shoulder side.

    Is that not foreseeable to cause injury.

    Watch the media argue against a suspension.

    Grundy comfortably playing much better than Gawn. You’d almost consider subbing him off if he does nothing in the 3rd and put Spargo on.

    Don't forget Grundy was getting hit in the head while the free kick was paid against him too. Yay

    We improved that quarter and upped the pressure. I expect us to step up a bit more this next quarter. 

    We will have to if we are to overcome the rubbish umpire's decisions.

    This quarter is ours.

    True but they dominated us first quarter for little result. It's a cold, wet night at a [censored] of a ground. It's a scrappy game, there will be little highlights tonight just a game to get the job done hopefully.

    I hate the scragging, you want to free the game up stop the scragging all over the ground. Trac was well within his rights to have a fit.

    • 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.
