6 fifty-metre penalties now against North. At this point they should just go for the record.

Six of Carlton’s goals were a result of free kicks in their forward 50. Another two goals from 50m penalties (two of a total of six 50m penalties). That’s EIGHT goals.

    Well, the battle to be our end of 2025 free agent ruck recruit remains interesting;

    Xerri; 13 disposals at 84%, 32 hitouts, 8 tackles, 10 clearances, but only 24 metres gained.

    De Konig; 13 disposals at 84%, 31 hitous, 5 tackles, 4 clearances, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements

    At this stage I'd give it to Xerri given that a lot of the difference can be attributed to a ruck free kick differential of 8 in De Konig's favour, and as a Melbourne player he would not get that kind of service.

    I tipped the lions with great confidence.

    Scrap that, they are a rabble.

    Basically been surviving on their 52 win eight losses at the Gabba ratio.

    Now they can't even win there.

    Cameron is a gun but their other two big names up fwd are very inconsistent.

    It’s why the AFL for me has become unbearable to watch. If the Dees weren’t in it, I would’ve (and just about have) given it away years ago. It has become so business driven, and what is best for that business to succeed, that the football aspect has been neglected for some time now.

    Grass roots local footy is so much purer and more enjoyable to witness. Go and get yourself a team to follow outside of the national/state leagues. It is way more fun to watch and be a part of. You feel like you’re part of a real community.

    Exactly right

    The Blues look VG but don't face anyone serious until Rnd 6 vs GWS.

    Even then that's at home at Marvel.

    The following week they play the Cats... but get another out.   Not having to go to Taxpayer Park (again) and instead playing at a neutral venue (the G)

    Since 1990 the Blues have only played at Taxpayer Park 6 times.

    When looking at teams that have played the least number of games there, the Blues are ranked 3rd.

    Just behind the Bombers (5).

    With our old lovelies the Maggotpies sitting in the No.1 spot.

    The last time the Maggotpies played there was during the last millennium... 1999

    I watched the 3rd qtr and the Carlton biased umpiring was a disgrace.
    And Larkey was stiff with that 50.
    Umpire should've reversed it again when Weitering come in to make a hero out of himself starting a another squabble including multiple other players.
    But no.

    4 umpires yet players are still alowed to run over the actual mark and set their own mark.

    They must be seeing it but just keep yelling "Stand"

    Yet another jokefest on display from the AFL

    Enough. The Crows v Freo game is almost unwatchable. All the run and grunt between two half back lines, with atrocius forward play and atrocious kicking. My adult kids home for easter are watching the Physical 100 - a Korean reality show based on physical challenges. Not my normal go-to, but the footy today has been so deplorable, I am giving it a go. 

    Is it possible for a great game of footy with pressure, good skills, and attacking flair?

    That’s more of a reason to feel for their fans. 

    Their Fans wanted to stay in Melbourne, but there’s not enough of them. 
    James Brayshaw told them he would fix everything, still waiting to see what he had planned

    Wow the Crows are as bad as we used to be with their entries inside 50 and conversion

    Having said that they just kicked their first in a while.

    • 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.
