    Hogan in fine fettle this year.

    Looks super fit and focused.

    Those sticky mitts really make a difference.

    Considering the good crowds they are getting in the nation's capital I wonder if it's worth moving the Giants down there full-time. Canberra Giants also sounds so much better that Greater Western Sydney. 

    Would have to name them the Frost Giants.

    Anyway, those good crowds are influenced a bit by a general scarcity of top-level football. Supporters of fifteen* other clubs will get along to see a game even if they don't care much for the competing clubs on the day.

    *do you really think anyone in Canberra would support Gold Coast?

    Anyone remember what happened late September the last time there was a draw on Anzac Day?

    Carlton won the premiership

    My partner just got back from the ‘G (bombers fan)

    She said she’s never going to the footy again, the Collingwood supporters were so disgusting. 

    She left her seat with 10 minutes to go because she genuinely felt threatened regardless if they won or lost.
     

    For context sake, we have a friend who works in the corporate functions team for the pies, so we occasionally get tickets among Pies supporters.

     

     

    Shocked! ....not really, this is but a sample of what's going to be on KB match.

    Or Canberra could become the 20th team?

    Still, if this game was played in western Sydney tonight they'd be lucky to get 4,000 people through the turnstiles. It would be great for a national competition to have Canberra join Tasmania in the competition.

    We dont have the talent pool to cover 18 teams, let alone 20.

    Merge the two AFL clubs in GWS and GC, relocate them to Canberra?

    Or just move the Giants there permanently then play 3 games in West Sydney.

    It would make more sense than Darwin but they've just mentioned on the broadcast that there are 6,000 GWS members in Canberra so it might be easier to grow that figure than ask the locals to switch teams.

    good game this. Lions should be ahead but inaccuracy hurting them.

    Anyone got a theory about what side winning this GWS/Brisbane game is better for the Dees?

    I think Giants win is better, as I think it makes it too hard for Brisbane.

    The Canberra Sun Giants 😆

    Allow me to continue with my obsession re commentators selectively calling certain players by their first + last names ...

    Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews ....

    As previously noted, they do it more with players with first names that are more like surnames. 

    Thank you for your interest.

    Exactly, just flip the current script. They can play Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond up there so the place looks half full for tv.

    Agree, HBT. If Brisbane lose tonight it is very tough for them to be top 4 at the end of the home and away season. And they won't win it without that advantage.

    Yep, for sure. Would be great to see the Lions drop out.

    • 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.
