Right now it’s looking highly likely that Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon will be in finals. That’s a very depressing thought, unless you’re the AFL.

    Perfect timing for Richmond to bottom out now and get 2-3 years of early draft picks before Tassie come in. 
     

    In terms of list ages as of this year…

    Pies are the oldest.

    Geelong comes in second oldest.

    Dees are third oldest. 

    Brisbane and Richmond equal fourth.

    I'm not convinced by the bombers just yet.

    They've won against Hawks, Saints (4points), Bulldogs, Adelaide (3points), West Coast (6points) and now GWS. They've also drawn with Collingwood but they're not the same team as last year, not yet at least. Apart from GWS it's far from a convincing form line.

    I am not convinced nor do I want to be on Essendon but three of their next five games are against the Roos, Richmond and West Coast in Melbourne. It’s going to have to be some collapse to see them miss finals, which would be glorious to watch.

    Agree - but their scheme of arrangement draw, as an understatement, is favorable.

    Is David Roden the happiest goal umpire in the AFL ?

    No - its probably Roman Polanski due to extradition treaties. But David runs a respectable second.

    I don’t how the Saints are avoiding the blow torch. Pathetic effort

    Another rebuild?

    Id prefer Hawks list over theirs

    A short history of the saints since 1896.

    Millionaires, who had some success in fantasy footy comps, come in and run the joint. Except running an AFL club there are real consequences and less beer. The club drafts a hotshot player who once kicked 10 goals in a Frankston game. He fires in his first game against a team who hasn’t won since the flip phone era. The phrase "He’s our future" and "generational talent" is repeated so often it might as well be tattooed on the coaches forehead.

    I get that we all hate Essendon but you have to give them a lot of credit for their win over a massive contender in GWS.

    And they’ve kept us the top 4 which was nice of them.

    peptides will trouble us as well - their game style disrupts the approach that the likes of us, gw$, the filth etc. all have in terms of executing ball movement

    annoyingly, the scott twins are very good at that coaching caper

    Geelong have been cleared of breaching AFL medical protocols, despite the Cats revealing on Saturday that key forward Jeremy Cameron had been diagnosed with delayed concussion from a heavy head knock on Friday night.

    Cameron was allowed to play out Friday night’s clash against Port Adelaide after landing heavily during a marking contest and slamming his head into the GMHBA Stadium turf.

    But the big Cat reported concussion symptoms during tests on Saturday morning and will miss next Thursday night’s clash against Gold Coast in Darwin.

    Several commentators questioned why Cameron was not taken from the ground on Friday night after he landed on his side and banged his head on the ground in a whiplash motion at the nine-minute mark of a tense last quarter

    He lay on his back after the fall, holding his head, before clambering to his feet to take part in the next stoppage.

    Geelong medical staff spoke to Cameron on the ground, but the club said on Saturday that he had passed a head injury assessment.

    Geelong said Cameron was allowed to play out the final nine minutes of the match, in which the Cats lost by a goal, because he did not report any symptoms and had satisfied all AFL requirements.
     

    An AFL spokesperson said the league’s medical experts had discussed the incident with Geelong doctors on Saturday morning and were comfortable that Cameron had been managed within the league’s concussion guidelines.

    The spokesperson said medical spotters in the ARC had alerted Geelong doctors to Cameron’s fall shortly after the incident, but in the absence of “probable motor incoordination or no protective action” immediate removal of the player for a sport concussion assessment test (SCAT6) was not mandated.

    The heavy nature of Cameron’s fall on Friday night, prompted Seven commentator Brian Taylor to say during his call: “He gave his head a real good banging. I reckon the doctors will look at that.”

    Fellow commentator Matthew Richardson then added: “As soon as you stay still on the ground for a couple of seconds, that’s a trigger.”

    Seven boundary rider Abbey Holmes was shocked that Cameron was not taken to the boundary for tests.

    “Jeremy Cameron is staying out on the ground,” Holmes said. “It didn’t look good, did it? With his head heavily making contact with the ground.”

    The Geelong doctor barely even questioned Cameron.  Twice he was waived away and walked off.  Barely 15 seconds of discussion on field.  Cameron had to be withdrawn for HIA. His head hit the ground really hard.  I think the AFL has again shown little regard for their own AFL “strict” protocols. Last year Port was fined $100,000.   The Cats again have to be laughing at the AFL.

    The Bulldogs are 11th but have outscored their opponents by 25% more than Essendon, who are 3rd.

    From Footscray Bulldogs to Flatrack Bullies?

    • 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.
