Baker 3 goals 20 touches as the sub

not bad!

Hope Port keep up their horrible kicking next week

 

Port looking ordinary against a depleted Richmond.

Hopefully they have an ordinary win rather than a shock loss as we donโ€™t want them on the rebound and having a statement game against us.

Volleyed goal. don't see that too often

and the ump asks for a review even though the ball was a about a meter inside the post

Not sure about Fremantle's depth.

Yesterday was only North but they were missing Chapman, Cox, Darcy, O'Driscoll and O'Meara, plus OMac and Worner who played last week, plus a few others (e.g. Corey Wagner and Ethan Stanley).

Perhaps against a better side they wouldn't have won but they're 2-0 with quite a lot of talent to come back.

And I wholly disagree that they "need" key defenders. Their best 22 defence is top 4 quality.ย 

We'll have to agree to disagree, but the back six that played the Roos is, IMHO, not a top 4 defensive unit (i think I'm right in saying that Omac is the only best 22 defender missing, unless you include Corey Wagner).ย 

  • James Aishย 
  • Alex Pearce
  • Jordan Clark
  • Ethan Hughes
  • Joshua Draper
  • Luke Ryan

Alex Pearce is aย  pretty good player, but not AA quality. And he's their best defender.ย

Watching the Tigers vs Port, the Richmond crowd were a bit much when the Tiges were on top, but I'm remembering now how much fun it was to watch nuffy-cam when they were better known as ninthmond.

Anyone know the status of Marshall's injury?

Not wishing injuries on opposition players but Marshall out would be handy considering our 2 outs this week.

just being assessed they said

Chapman and Cox are defenders, Cox was in the AA squad in 2022.

They are both better than Pearce, as is Luke Ryan. At full strength they are a strong defence and one which I think most people donโ€™t appreciate.ย

And hopefully Horne Francis hamstring is at least a 2 gamer.

PS: Butters should be fined for staging. Just on half time milked a 50 and goal, pretending Lynch hit him in the head after a mark. Nothing said because he is a star, but not the first time.ย

And in MRO news, Wright sent straight to the tribunal. Back to you Huddo.

No, I'm not either (cough, cough)

It's going to be a long year for Ooze.

Tiges pressure rating in the negative.

How many years did he get? They will win games but agree think itโ€™s going to be a long year for him.ย

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itโ€™s time to discuss this weekโ€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverโ€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line โ€ฆ 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 clubโ€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubโ€™s perspective, and the teamโ€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonโ€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed โ€” 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.ย  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.

  • 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.
