    Because we were ot good enough for a half of footy. Our midfield is wildly out of form.

    Sydney are the team to beat. There is no doubt about it. Thank goodness grand finals are not played on that postage stamp ground. 
     

    Very important to finish top 2 or on the non Sydney side of the draw to avoid playing them at home.

    That’s a Sydney members only section. We sit in the pocket a few bays around from them. 

    Appreciate that, not sure how that’s fair though.

    Winning the center.

    Winning loose ball contested

    Winning more of the 1 v 1s

    Holding up across HB

    The Swans have a number of VG running mid types in size who are strong at the contest, over the ball and able to burst out of congestion

    Their entries inside are mostly either quick kicks / bombs to the square and/or looking to target a free player  near the hot zones after going wide via the flanks.

    If the ball hits the deck inside 50 they're super competitive here also and quick to pounce if it gets to the outside

    Gonna be very hard to beat if they hold form and not too many injuries

    LOL. At this rate Carlton will finish this weekend 10th with a % under 100.

    WCW likely to have an answer. Probably the same reason that the Cats, prior to the new stand being built, had the away cheer squad on the flank. For some reason seats behind the goals are highly sought after. I reckon the GFC were told by the AFL they had to hand over one end (for TV purposes) when the new stand was built. 

    At Mordor we sat on the wing (next to the race, absolutely freezing) while construction of the new stand was underway. Now that it’s complete, the Geelong cheer squad sit behind the goals in the new stand and opposition cheer squads sit in their old bay.

    We did beat them for 3 quarters, by 37 points, and they were absolutely perfect for the other.

    Bedford Jordan and Grundy, would love that depth, I think Jordan plays a more accountable game than Sparrow. Good luck to them all, not complaining just observing.

    very impressive from the Swans.

    always enjoyable watching Carlton get thumped

    Sydney haven’t had their captain(Mills) all season. He’s back in the coming weeks. Plus they are without their best defender tonight too. I had thought they were over rated, time to have a rethink.

    They are playing very good now. But so were GWS before they hit a wall. Look at Geelong 3 on the trot now. Can happen anytime. The only time you want to start to look invincible is 2 weeks from finals not now. 

    The only advantage for them is to manage the load of their players. So they are fresh going into finals.

    Carlton getting a solid reality check here

    We should have iced those dorks last wk 😔

    Looking back, aside from the tigers’ win against the swans, we have been the closest to them - with a 22 point loss - and we played like TRASH - and were in it at 3Q (2 points down) before they ran away with it in the conditions.

    Gives some comfort I guess. 

    Anyway, good to see the blues getting smoked. Just wish we did it!

    I know the set up coz I live 25km from the ground and a heap of my mates are Cats’ members. Whenever they’ve built a new stand they’ve relocated supporter groups, usually to a better spot.

    We could be 4 points and more than 20% clear of the blues by the end of the round.

    That’s the thing. They kicked every goal going forward in that first quarter.

    I know it’s a constant source of frustration here, but on expected score we won that game by 20+ points.

    • 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.
