I despise Brisbane. So many punchable heads in one side. 
Pleasure to beat them.

    some choice bigfooty quotes:

    • We play to win to the end and only and I mean only, do we start saving a game when heat is really on and
      its in the dying minute....no more. Playing the saving game with approx 5 minutes to go was totally ridiculous and cost us.

    • When the going got tough - Melbourne's leaders stood up, Gawn and Petraca took the bull by the horns, threw themselves into the battle and did the things that lifted their team mates, gave belief, showed it was possible. Well done them.

      When the going got tough - Lions leaders found holes and crawled into them, gave up, hid behind team mates and whinged.

    • The most gutted I think I have ever felt after a loss. I feel like I need therapy

    • Devastating loss. Will put me in a filthy mood for remainder of weekend.

    • Maybe we need to start wearing Brisbane Lions colours at the MCG to get over the hoodoo.

      • And rename it the 'Gabba.

    • Fagan should expect some tough questions in the presser around what the gameplan was in that last qtr.
      He got absolutely nothing of the sort. As limp as you could imagine. Afl journalists are not real journalists let’s be honest.

    • It's actually the opposite of reactionary. It's the status quo. We still can't get it done in big games away from home. We're still heading towards a 5th straight failed final serious. We still can't run out games. We still can't defend transition. We still go to sleep in the midfield

    • 4.2 to 0.1 in the last 7 minutes. The opposite of clutch. And another psychologically scarring loss for this group to carry.
       

    Not so cocky now.

    You didn't say they were in better form though. You said they were the better team.

    They can’t win at the G. 14 losses in last 15 attempts. Can’t even beat hawthorn. They have a 1000 pound gorilla on their back and until they actually win a game there I doubt too many people will have them as favourites.

    Their full record at the MCG since becoming the Brisbane Lions is 59 games, 16 wins , 1 draw and 42 losses.
    11 of those are in finals for 5 wins and 6 losses.

    The perfect career move Rab. Parachuted in from Baghdad to give 'real cred' to AFL communications with the broader football public.

    I know this might be unpopular but you have to admire the Brisbane cheer squad. I’d imagine a lot of them are from rusted on Fitzroy families who very begrudgingly came around, but they really make some noise when they are up and about. It might be because they see a lot of losses in Vic, but they really brought it on Friday.

    It’s interesting because in a way it helps make a really good argument for relocating another team away from Melbourne.

    I always love it when the opposition supporters start the chant (in this case LIons...Lions) and then lose, makes me smile a lot. Mind you they did start the chant in the third quarter, I thought at the time they might regret this.

    You’re right about that, THBT. Their cheer squad members are certainly proud and loyal. Their banner crew is full of super nice people. I chat in the race with opposition crews, almost all of whom are friendly. The Brisbane crew comprises diehard Fitzroy fans and/or the children of Fitzroy fans. There’s definitely a different vibe from the GCS and GWS ppl.

    • 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.
