Carlton off a 5 day break. Port off a 7 day break. What a joke. 
Lucky I hate Carlton. Shame I also hate Port.

    Karma for the "liar on the line" last year against us. It was a goal.

    How are Carlton second?

    Put DeKoning & McKay back in there & they go alright. They've had them right up until now

    Port a 6-day break but point still valid.

    5-day breaks should only occur when the opposition is also on a 5-day break.

    Not that I care about Carlton.

    As much as it's fun watching Carlton lose, this is not good for us. 

    Although it's funny thinking that after Port fans booed Hinkley off the ground, they'll go 4-1 including wins over the Dogs and Carlton.

    Ken lives on. Good times for everyone who enjoys Port forever doing nothing when it matters.

    And Acres and Williams (and Silvagni and Docherty too I suppose).

    Port missing Marshall, SPP, Finlayson and Soldo though, so not completely at full strength either.

    It was a goal. No qualms with it.

    The AFL's imbecilic 5 day scheduling compromises another game though. I expected this knowing Port had a 7 day break. I reckon if we meet Port in the finals we will smash them. 

    We have the Pies next week, must smash them ...

    6-day break. They played last Saturday night.

    I'm with you on 5-day breaks, as above, but there have been worse. You didn't go anywhere, they had to travel here. 

    I wouldn't worry about beating Port in a final if you get them. I'd be more worried about slipping out of the top 4 - if Brisbane, Fremantle and GWS all win, you'll be 5th at the end of this round. You should have had 2nd spot sewn up by now, IMO.

    Agreed. The Blues are unlikely to win a flag this year unless we nab 2nd place TBH. We should have sown up 2nd spot by now already.

    It’s true that Carlton are off a five day break, albeit back-to-back at Marvel. While Port are off a six day break with an interstate trip - toss of the coin for mine.

    It shouldn’t take anything away from Port. And it shows impact of a few keys outs for Carlton and their system. 

    It’s also amazing how much the Port nuffies were off Hinkley only a month ago!!

    The blues were clearly paddling from half way through the third.

    One goal in the second half, none in rhe last.

    Carlton should play all home games at the MCG. It was actually an MCG tenant before any other club (MFC included) 😉

    I know Marvel is much maligned but I really don't mind. Realistically it is too small for most Carlton games these days.

    Please explain.

    1. Collingwood

    2. Geelong 

    3. Essendon 

    4. Carlton 

     

    This evening I had the absolute pleasure of watching my 4th most hated team lose a game of footy.

    Happy days 

  • Quote

    Terrible result for us.

    It’s probably only Essendon that are looking vulnerable to miss the 8, and thus only 1 team we could replace.

    (although GWS could be in trouble if we were to beat them)

    I don’t see Port winning as a disaster for us, great seeing Carlton fall over, I would describe Port as the SA equivalent of Carlton, mirror image of promise much deliver little.

    • 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.
