Yeah, this guy. His face tells you everything you need to know. Screams at a teenager and gets offended when he gives it back to him.

We had a 20 page thread on this incident in 2017. The last couple of pages of that particular thread have some really funny images.

    So that's where that picture comes from. Seen it reused many times on here without Clayton in it.

    The Carlton v Saints game could be a key game to shaping the 8.

    If the Blues win and teams presently outside the 8 (Sydney, Geelong) lose the Blues will be 6 points clear with only 4 games left to catch up. Mathematically possible and of course the Blues play us next week

    There are a large number of us Demonlanders who watch multiple games across the weekend, and most of us are probably on the mature end of the age scale. So over the years we get to see some great footballers who stand out.

    I was a huge fan of Paul Kelly from the Swans and would watch Sydney games just to see him.

    It's the same with Bontempelli. Watching him makes me love the game. Fair, strong, ridiculously skilful, natural leader, match winner. I put him up near Robbie Flower for the graceful way he plays the game. Last night he was at his best.

    Adam Goodes was always a favorite of mine . Except when he beat us almost all by himself in one particular game

    Can someone email the MFC this blueprint or even a copy of the video tape from Round 23 2021

     

     maybe we might go a season without needing to work out how to play Geelong at Geelong 😅

    Takes a lot out of teams trying to go with the dees.

    And in the tigers case tonight, a five day break compounds that (short breaks really do have a massive impact - which makes our early season form even more impressive given how many we had of them)

    If Dusty, Cotchin & possibly Grimes were all out purely because they couldn't get up after a 5-day break I'm thinking it would have made much more sense to rest them against Melbourne, rather than against the Western Bulldogs. It probably wouldn't have made any difference given last night's winning margin but surely Richmond should have prioritised an 8-point game against a more beatable opponent? Or did they think naively they could beat Melbourne with their best team and also beat the Bulldogs with significant outs. Delusional!

    Angus Brayshaw huge goal to take the lead 2021 GF - wasn't that from another "super boot Daniels"' clanger?

    I put Adam Saad in the same category. A severely over-rated player that I'm always happy to see attempting to distribute the ball. Compare them with Christian Salem who is an elite ball-user.

    If I could really reach out to the footy gods today can you make west coast beat Essendon.

    I know it won't happen but I can dream

    I was disappointed with last night's result basically because I see Richmond as less of a threat than Western Bulldogs but essentially if didn't matter who won in terms of Melbourne finishing Top 4.

    Actually on reflection maybe it was better for WB to win as Richmond would need to have a clear game's break to finish ahead of Geelong whereas WB have the 2-point gap.   

    As far as other non-mfc games go am hoping for a Geelong win tonight and Freo tomorrow to help our Top 2 chances.

    You're right it won't happen, but actually I want Essendon to win as it reduces Fremantle's chances of finishing further up the ladder and if Essendon can make the 8 it means there's one less dangerous team in the Finals.

    Bombers will smash WC by 100+
    Wright will kick 8+

    I absolutely adore the Bont. He is not just an amazing footballer but a nice humble guy. Met him a few times and he just oozes warmth. 
    Hope he wins the Brownlow this year. An absolute star!

    I hope the Suns win as it reduces chances of Freo moving up the ladder. Actually I don't think it matters as Freo won't overcome the percentage differential to either side. A draw would be a good result.

    I'm hoping for a Cats win. Still hoping Top 2 for Melbourne. Actually I don't mind either way as I reckon Geelong will miss Top 8 if they lose.

    Surely you're hoping for Christian Petracca above the Bont!

    The melts on Bomberblitz are hilarious at the moment. They won’t be happy even if they win 😂

    I mean of course, but I don’t think he will. 
    I sure as hell rather the Bont over Daicos or Butters.

    It looks like the Suns are about to fall out of contention. So far, the round hasn’t been kind to the replacement coaches. Ratten out altogether, McQualter almost out after last night and Steven King looking like one of the sad and tired victims in one of his namesake’s novels.

    Or off to the glue factory like one of his other namesake’s Melbourne Cup rides.

    • 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.
