Near perfect result: Geelong lose, and Port make near-zero percentage inroads on us.

This is full-on crazy frenetic footy. 

I think I know which passage you were referring to (around when Horne-Francis got hurt) and agreed, that was some of the most intense close-quarters footy I’ve seen this season. 

As mentioned, the idiocy of Cat’s supporters booing Ratugolea. Akin to us booing Harmes or JJ*

I live in Geelong’s territory. They were happy to see the back of him.
 

* happy to be corrected if it happened. I was at both games.

My absolute pet hate is when a crowd boos a former player who was TRADED BY THE CLUB! 

He left and was trying to go the year before as well. They tried to keep him.

Scott’s votes will be interesting- 5 to Z Guthrie and 4 to Holmes. May squeeze a Port player or two in for the minors. Miserable bastard.

That's a great win by Port. Cats fans have no right to complain about umpiring. You let port get out to a 49 point lead.

Cats now dropped 2 in a row 

Did you read Demonland last night?

Bizarre scoreline in the west.

...and getting bizarrer.

I hope the media bring up Jeremy Cameron and him not going off. This is really annoying me he got to stay out there. I know Cameron probably said he was fine but it must be protocol to be assessed 


According to Jason Horne-Francis, the team “put an emphasis on moving the ball forward”. 

And indeed, this one of the key tenets of t he game. 

Man, had the Cats got up, Willie Rioli would have been the first AFL player to win the inaugural BestWorst Medal. 
 

 

Did the Cats have any injured players? after the very early sub they were desperate to keep everyone on

I thought Hayward only played one good game a month?

3.1 already 

Reckon he can play

Hayward with 3 goals. Sydney covering the ground so well. They are so fit.  It super talented but just have great team discipline and athleticism

Rioli kicked 4.3 with 7 tackles 

one brain fade

played an amazing game. Maybe the Cats should have put someone on him. He was unmarked so much, was crazy

Fox Footy going nuts about it. It’ll be a big talking point. 

It’s a bad look.

Oh, I was just making a general statement. 
 

(Nah my mistake, I actually thought The 60s* was traded. My humble apologies.) 

*Radical Era
 

 

Ha Geelong have to go to Darwin next week & play.

Gaz is going hard on the Jeremy Cameron head knock. They're covering it big time. Gaz is saying he should have gone off & especially with all the concussion issues at the moment

No look, he was incredible. 
 

But between that whopper of a fade and not taking a shot, it would have been hard to come up with more significant moments when the tide turned.

I agree with your general statement though.


Freo are winning almost all stats. but have kicked 2.13

unbelivable!

couple that with ridiculous kicking from the Swans

Don’t think i’ve ever seen such a discrepancy

Agreed. It’s very contagious. Similar to last night how Chin, Petty even Fritta all missed easy set shots.

Will be two months till his next, then, I guess...

Or...

He's saving his (prolonged) next drought till he comes to us (see relevant thread).

Great result Geelong loose a close one and their fans have an umpiring decision to whine about

Not only the decision to complain about, but at their home ground as well. ❤️

  • 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.
