I say the original rules should stand and only points from round 1 count towards the season.

    Keen to hear the thoughts of those posters who practically wrote our season off and blasted the coach and players after our loss last week.

    Some remarkably definitive comments were made, given we were beaten on the home deck of a pretty good team that the bookies had as slight fav.

    You know who you are.

    Gonna agree with Kane Cornes about Aaron Naughton, used to be seen as the next big thing, he's a massive NAUGHT. They gave him an 8 year contract.

    Sam Darcy kicked 5 in the VFL team, and I don't think Lobb was horrible, but if they don't move Naughton to CHB, he's not going to look like a great investment. Dogs would be better trying to make him like Darcy Moore.

    Petty response.

    Enjoy the win rather than jumping to pot shot

    I was wrong about TMac,... thought he was slow, just think it's slow to turn, so having him down back isn't too bad, and was good by foot.

     

    me too. humble pie for dinner

    It truly amazes me how the Media World have talked up The Bulldogs list as being elite for years. I am not taking anything away from today’s performance, but the Dogs are very ordinary. 
    Particularly Radio 📻 scribes, their whole analysis is just totally wrong 

    Nice 👍 to kick relatively accurately today for a change. 
    Makes a huge difference 

    Go Demons

    I’m with you. Based on what we saw today, Billing’s clearly ahead of Laurie. 
    Spargs has credits, but is quickly running out of them. 

    Let’s just celebrate a win, rather than look at Spargo’s and Laurie’s performance last week. Sydney are a better team and  the conditions were much different.

    Got to be analytical in defeat and victory. Acknowledge what has worked and what hasn’t.

    Happy to admit I was wrong about TMac and BBB both were very solid today…most pleasing thing for me was how tough and hard we were, had Bulldogs players jumping out of the way…I thought last week the Swans out hunted us so great to see the “1 wood” back

    Beveridge has rocks in his head.

    Caleb sub (who traditionally kills us) and Macrae in the 2s.

    Please get fired.

    I was working today and could only glance at the scores. Looking forward to the replay.

    Great win, and very pleasing to note we didn't allow 3 junk time goals to win by a meagre 10 points. We put our foot on their throats and ground them into the ground. THIS is the Dees of late 2021.

    And I will continue to believe that we are a better team with BBB in it, with 2 qualifications:

    • If he is able to do 2nd efforts, he stays in the team, if not, his time is over.
    • He needs to provide 1-2 goals a game, and keep contesting in the air.

    It sounds really promising about Hore, Windsor & Billings. I am very surprised about Billings, but happy to be wrong.

    No doubt you will analyse it all for hours and hours during the week

    What was the whole May getting into his face? Felt  more than just a bit of banter.

    I think Harmes went hard on May, gave a bit of niggle and Maysy wasn't having a bar of it.  Seriously how stupid would Harmes have to be going May.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
