Saints have done well to snag a goal just before half time. I so wish we could have done the same.

    Good response from the saints. It was looking like it was going to be a rout so fair play to them for getting back into this game

    Nearly messed it up with another silly advantage call.

    Umpires getting involved, haven't seen all the replays to confirm those Free Kicks were legit.

    Usually they say on AFL site subbed out with injury if concussed. 

    Doesn't say anything. But he was clearly unbalanced and his feet were buckling as he went off.

    Would have to be concussed you would think, but it's Carlton.

    He looked genuinely out of it when the team was singing the song in the rooms too.

    We definitely need a couple of elite kicks in our list, they can make the difference by getting goals from almost impossible angles and distances.

    Giants make our skill level look very ordinary.

    Hogan and Bedford would be handy right about now for us.

    How didn't the footy department see that Bedford was the more superior small forward than Chandler?

    We did not want him to go. He asked to be traded. Was out of our hands.

    GWS are quick, they’d expose us badly on the outside. I reckon they’d smash us. 

    We wont meet them unless they get to the Grand final.

    Because there wasn't many opportunities presented to him last year.

    We offered him a three year contract.

    Popped into the footy. It's nice just being a neutral observer. 

    Also the difference to our game. Both forward lines have open space

    And Toby just nutts another one.

    Bedford ugh.  Still can't believe we let him go and went with Laurie. 

    No offence to to the young fella but they are chalk and cheese in terms of speed & finish.

    Even slightly ahead of Chandler imv and will probably jump ahead in coming years.

    GWS will be a difficult opponent for port or lions. And they don’t seem to mind playing at away grounds. Tough on the inside, great spread, solid defensively and some real method going inside f50. They’re a well coached team and can’t be taken for granted

    Every thread ends up as Team X would beat us. Without fail.

    What is it with all the Bedford revisionism in this thread. He did not show this kind of form when playing for us. And he had chances to do so.

    Love your work WCW but I'm sorry to inform you the quality of the crepe paper used in each team's banner does not portent the future.

    Love your work too, Chook. Firstly, the Swans - like most other clubs - use plastic and not crepe paper; secondly, the problem wasn’t the construction of the backing, it was that the sleeve (the cylindrical vinyl attachment through which the pole is inserted) had split in two; thirdly, and most importantly, I wasn’t being serious anyways. 😁

    can’t remember many people complaining when we let him go

    • 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.
