Hopefully we get to see how Brisbane holds up in the last quarter with a slim lead and Collingwood coming at them like a freight train.

Very wobbly in that situation.

    And lets hope that stay that way. When we won in 21 I thought of him and had a chuckle. Couldn't stand it if he, cox and ginnivan won a premiership 

    I literally said the same thing to my husband about those three. I just couldn’t cope seeing Howe with a premiership medal around his neck.🤮🤮

    I'm drinking a shiraz from heirloom vineyards in the Barossa. Got it as a gift today. Very tasty

    and one more thing McQueen, I just think she gets a lot of vitriol on here for what? Having an annoying voice?

    Maybe - but not from me. 
     

    In all seriousness, she’s an absolute trailblazer in what she is doing for a career. 
    Full credit to her. 
     

    it’s just the voooiiiiiiiiiicccccccceee.

    Brisbane to lose 10000000%

    We want a home final and if Brisbane win tonight, then a very likely outcome would be for us to go up to Brisbane first final. I think us finishing 3rd is most likely.

    If we have to play humid/slippery footy up there then we would be at a huge disadvantage.

    Pinot for me ... NZ, Bellarine, Yarra Valley or the Peninsula.  Goes with anything

    Less of a headache next day is also the goal!

    Loose game and nothing like what we'll see in September

    Just how these two teams like it. They’ll be found out in finals if they don’t tighten up their defensive work all over the ground.

    Ok, showing all your cards with that post

    Reckon that was a dangerous tackle? He had his arms pinned and was dumped head first. But the Brisbane player appeared to be fine so nothing will happen

    Can't believe they made Maynard captain tonight.

    A hot head big mouth. They have no leadership if this is the best they can do without Moore.

    1st or 2nd is the same yeah? So the Pies have very little incentive to go all out (De Goey rested etc) ... and that includes against the Don's next Friday

    But we can't be sure of any result including tonight

    Port will probably win their last 2 but if we knew that for sure, we could make a lot of money

    We beat the Hawks and then rest our best players against Sydney (why risk injury?) ... 4th place and then launch

    Has Maynard been appointed as a playing umpire?  Mouthing off to the one in yellow, with impunity.

    And seriously these "insufficient intent" are just so annoying.  One was a side of the boot kick off the ground and another player tackled running head on the boundary.

    Hate to say it, but Cox has been pretty influential at centre bounces in particular.  Very annoying.

    And I wonder what Michael Christian will say about the dump tackle by McCreery?  Remind me who did Christian play for??    PS: was anything said about the one on Rivers late last week? Or was the Carlton exemption card played?

    The just pay what’s there to the Pies. Difference is, they don’t pay what’s there to other sides. It’s not cheating, just selective umpiring.

    There are pros and cons with whoever wins.

    If Brisbane win and Port wins too, we likely stay in 4th and play Collingwood in a Qualifying Final at home. I’d back us any day of the week to beat them, especially without Daicos and an underdone Moore.

    Collingwood win tonight, and we would rely on Port dropping a game to finish 2nd (which will have to be this week because Richmond has given up), which is unlikely, and more likely to lead to a 3rd place finish.

    If we finish 4th, whilst I think it’s our best chance to win the Qualifying Final, it’s also problematic if we lost that game as we’d likely play Carlton in a semi, which won’t be straightforward, and then a Preliminary Final in either Adelaide or Brisbane. The grounds don’t worry me, it’s more the umpires getting influenced by home fans (as we saw in Adelaide earlier this season).

    Finishing 3rd might mean we have to travel, but even if we lost that Qualifying Final, we’d play the winner of 6 v 7 which you’d back us to win (teams outside the top 5 fall away dramatically) and then probably Collingwood in a Preliminary Final.

    • 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.
