    ABC - Anyone but Collingwood

    My preferred winners in order - GWS (for Jesse), Lions, Carlton, Pies. I don't like the expansion clubs but GWS look the business.

    The Pies will be getting nervous.

    How good are GWS to watch at the moment?

    Fast, brutal, and most importantly, accurate footy

    We've lost Hogan, Jackson and Bedford on Goodwin's watch.

    Hogan & Jackson requested a trade, hogan homesick & mentally gone and didnt last with behaviour issues so no one trusted him, Jackson por of gold, bedford yes didn’t play him often enough in 22,by the thickhead coach

    Even though it sucks for us, I reckon this finals series is good for the game. Two elimination finalists playing prelims and at least one a huge chance of winning one. It’s not inconceivable that both GWS and Carlton make the GF.

    It also will give teams who are going absolutely horribly at the Bye cause for optimism for a long time.

    Yep.

    Collingwood losing a GF > Collingwood losing a prelim.

    Off to the Port Bigfooty forum and specifically the sack Hinkley thread for a half time giggle.

    Just stay on Demonland and read Hinkley wherever you see Goodwin

    I was just telling my partner about all he went through with his dad and then his diagnosis. He went through a lot, and I wish him every success.

    The only good outcome for 2023 now is for the Giants to win it all.

    An epic conundrum. Seeing them lose in the GF by lots and lots and lots of a kick after the siren would be the besybest

    Bedford asked to leave because he did not believe he could break into the team. The club offered him a three year contract.

    There's a lot of criticism about Goodwin but I don't think anyone here is crazy enough to think he should be sacked.

    Hinkley definitely shouldn't have lasted as soon as he has.

    A GWS V Brisbane GF would be an amazing outcome for humanity.

    I’m happy to admit I’m on the Giants train and will be pleased if they snag this years flag. 
     

    Their game is so good to watch - wish it was red and blue guernseys.

    Also, Hogan was "ill disciplined" but we're about to recruit McAdam and recruited Hunger lol

    I know we got good value for all of them but gee whiz, you can't ignore the common denominator of forwards wanting to leave.

    • 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.
