Why do the umpires call such line ball calls in such crucial moments. Really feels like they are trying the manipulate results in key moments. 
 

One positive is the blue floppers are out of the 8. Sucked in

See many players run as far and not get penalized

    Swans aside the ladder is collapsing.

    We need to keep winning to avoid the body surfing tsunami of 3-11 sides

    PS How the hell is Collingwood above us !!!!

    Ah, I see what you're saying: beaten out by one of their 3 current co-draw-ers (or any new ones in this crazy season!) Those 3 need to make up a bit of percentage but, yes, nice.

    So, that's Brisbane's deficit taken care of anyway...

    Ouch.

    Their fwd line is dysfunctional...

    And that's saying something from Demonland! 

    It’s hard to believe they made finals last year.

    Gee it's really hard to fathom Richmond beat sydney

    I guess it’s a good reminder that as bad as Richmond are and as good as Sydney are at the moment you can’t take any game for granted.

    Let’s see how prickly Ross Lion gets with some negative media spotlight.

    I wonder what is actually going on at St.Kilda, there must be big problems behind closed doors. They have always been close to the Cliff edge, but this time the Supporters are just going to walk away

    Ross Lyon talks alot….

    So not the best of games tonight,  but have chosen to watch Saints v freo game. Just to see Jackson mainly

    The biggest story of the night is that during the post-match interview he used the word “fruition” 🤯

    I assume he meant to say fruiton - a bed made out of fruit, which I assume he sleeps on at night because that's just the kind of thing I'd expect a guy like him to do.

    I watched the post match on Kayo, who presumably take the Foxtel coverage.

    In the Brisbane rooms ... Darcy, Bolton (Jude) and Jones (Nathan).

    Does it really take 3 of them to conduct interviews? Darcy kept looking at the camera while the other 2 were asking questions, mainly Jonesy. It looked ridiculous.

    At this point it's not luck

    Collingwood’s last forward entry ( for the winning goal) was a result of  an Adelaide quick kick bouncing back 15 metres off the back of the head of a player , straight into the hands of a Collingwood player not involved in the play.

    I mean that is lucky. But winning 11/12 close games is more than luck

    There's belief And there's the leading team thinking oh no they're going to run us down like they do every week to the other teams

    Self fulfilling a lot of the time And clearly the more they do it the more confident they are

    Statistically a bit better, but what about the job he’s been doing on the dangerous opposition?

    Held Walsh to 20 instead of 30-35. Did outstanding jobs on Clark from Freo and Whitfield from GWS.

    He’s been a significantly improved player from his MFC days, particularly from a consistency point of view.

    A shame that Goodwin doesn't tag. Would have been handy on cripps or Walsh

    On 28 April David King said the flag race was down to three: Geelong, GWS, Carlton. That was at the end of Round 7.

    Since then those sides are a combined 1-8, with the sole win being Carlton over us by 1 point. 

    This is your regular reminder that David King is, contrary to what SEN calls him, not “the best analyst in football”.

    • 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.
