Seeing so many reprobates in the crowd enjoying themselves is putting me off my dinner.

    Who wants to be the first to say go Bombers and get put in their place?

    Bulldogs played at Marvel a bit earlier? Or does that not normally matter?

    Yeah not sure how many hours are needed between games at the same venue. But seeing Essendon and Carlton both playing home games at the MCG versus interstate teams makes me angry.

    Is Daicos that good? Is he better than the Bont or Dawson or Butters right now? Is he just racking up cheap possessions of half back? I have no doubt he uses it well but is he rightfully the Brownlow favourite? I personally don’t think he’s the best player in the game.

    The best player in the game doesn’t always win the Brownlow, Oliver is a prime example of that. Daicos x 2 are both guns.

    They never usually play 2 games at the same venue on the same day outside of gather round or emergencies.

    So if the Bombers win tonight, it doesn’t bode well for the AFL in fixturing integrity where all teams off the bye lose against a non bye team.
     

    With so much other inequity, this just adds another dimension.

    I’d say 90% of Brownlow’s won since the 80’s haven’t been won by the best player in the game.

    Carey, Ablett Snr, Matthews. It’s an incredible list.

    At least their seconds are flying the flag, a white flag but a flag never the less.May be an image of text that says 'Full Time East Fremantle 215 West Coast WAFL 31 Q1 Q2 11.3 Q3 Q4 18.8 26.14 0.1 33.17 1.3 3.5 4.7'

    And yet they still can’t get to 186 😂

    Just send them to Tasmania and keep the competition at 18 teams.

    No doubt because Essendon requested it.

    Weids looking good this quarter. Running back with the ball and halving contests.

    I was complaining earlier about Essendon playing a home game at the MCG. Now that it’s flogging down rain I am not so upset. Just need Port to win now. 

  • Quote

    Have these umpires ever ever played the game - zero feel of the game calling that deliberate (5;00 to go Q3).

    Pissing with rain, off balance - about 50 cm from the line.  Absurd

    ANG13 - I am a bit conflicted re tonight's result.

    It is looking more and more like 4th is the best we can expect, so having cocky Collingwood at 1 would be way better than Port.  Would far prefer Collingwood at the G than Port over there.

    • 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.
