Well look on the bright side after last night's disappointment. At least Kane Cornes will be a sad boy tonight.

He’ll find way to blame brayshaw

if I was on Twitter I’d troll him with memes on this theme

    Plenty of corridor footy so far. the game has moved on and we haven't got the memo yet.

    You need players with good foot skills to play that type of football. We don't have too many of those.

    You don't need many - you just need to set your game up to use them properly. Bowey, McVee, Salem all good users but we make them play like lockdown defenders to fit the contest and defence mantra.

    So Giants get a 6 day break and Carlton a 7? That seems wrong.

    Carlton 8, if played on Saturday. 

    Seems funny, GWS playing all over the place, only get the 6 days.

    Carl getting 8 even without travel interstate.

    Had to be 7 day break each, prior to preliminary.

    Did Collingwood decide that?

    If they beat the Wood, then at least they get 1 more day to prep for the Grand.

    Straight sets for 2 x top 4 teams who finished with a combined 6.5 more wins than the blues & gws, premature contract extensions for both Hinkley 10 yrs no flags Goodwin 1 x flag which you can understand but not sure what the rush was

    I'm sitting with the in laws and they're calling Pickett a thug and the media beat up over Maynard taking brayshaw flowers “oh they played together as juniors “

    I haven't had my say yet

    [censored] collingwood supporters are on drugs. They literally have no idea 

     

     

    Hope you gave 'em both barrels.

    Looks like half of the Giants fans are family and crows supporters.

    Fair few empty seats that I saw in the stadium. I wonder if Kane will be disappointed in the crowd size.

    The number 1 priority was to get Collingwood the Friday night prelim as reward for getting the minor premiership.

    I can’t stand the filth but they deserved the potential 8 day break into the GF regardless of the clubs below them.

    I'd be ropable if our club went out the way Port have in their last two big do-or-die finals though. Games over at quarter time/half time. Never even get started until its too late.

    Those misses in the last, when they were going hurt Port the most.

    Because that's his personality flaw, Thug.

    Once a thug, always a thug.

    Giants can absolutely beat the Pies. They won’t care at all about the crowd. They’re used to never having it on their side.

    • 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?

    • 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.
