Top of the head Sunday morning rant.

Would not mind if Freo won it.

I'd also cop GWS. Love Tobes and Jesse.

Pies and Blues always repugnant.

Port are undeserving as is their coach.

Brisbane would be almost acceptable.

Had a gutful of the Cats and they're probably not good enough.

Dogs are a chance but not sure they can maintain this form which needs a 2016 repeat.

 

Nope can’t stand them and three first round picks this years they’ll get more talent into an already talented side.

    Shout out to GWS for saving their inaccuracy for this week as opposed to last week.

    Accuracy and efficiency is GWS’s one wood. If they don’t have that then they’re not much of a team.

    Port, Brisbane, Freo and Bulldogs have the form going into finals. And Port remain fragile and their form can disappear very quickly. I can't see genuine finals aspirants among any of the others striving to finish in the top 8. 

    I continue to believe that Brisbane will not win a GF with Zorko in the team, and with Hipwood as a main forward target. Daniher is playing outstanding footy when he is away from goals, but if they expect him to be a main forward force, the finals will find him out.

    Looks like Freo v Bulldogs to me.

    Looking like an utterly boring September….

    Media say anything about him playing, without any punishment at all, for at the least, being out at 3.00 am at a nightclub last week, drinking and maybe doing more and ending up unresponsive, taken by ambulance to hospital?

    Can imagine the coverage if it was a lesser club. Absolute silence from a totally beholden media.

    If only there were still journalists employed that could ask why being unresponsive because of substance abuse is different from concussion protocols?

    It really is time for teams to get multiple alternate strips or away strips like soccer. Last night was a joke and now Giants and Hawks are hard to distinguish in the sun. 

    Seriously irritates me, I wonder why we have to wear an alternate jumper against Essendon and Carlton don’t against Collingwood.

    Observations 


    Giants kicking for goal  v Dees straight  v hawks inaccurate!!!  Daniels miss from 15 metres out in front   FFS

    Umps favouring hawks clearly.  Hawks have been holding the ball several times. No free kicks. FFS. 
     

    But Hawks do take on the game and run. Guess what? Open forward line. 1-1 contests.  #AreYouWatchingGoody.  It’s a simple game !!!!  Dees slow and wide. wtf. Then it’s a kick to a contest.  FFS.

    I hope he feels angry 

    If he is tearing up, we have no chance

    Yeah. I thought it was just me. If anyone had genuine problems, they would be [censored]. In the sun, the dark and light orange/yellow strips are difficult to tell especially from aerial shots.

    Hawks play two easy beats so that’s 14 wins for them

    Dambrisio. Chol. Amon. Frost. Meek. Impey. Ginnivan. All 7 having very good games.  All picked up with loose change draft picks.  Hawks kept first and second round picks then topped up with other club recruits for key roles.  Its a simple game footy.

    You would have to say on paper we have a better list than the Hawks, but their style of play and game plan is working far better than ours.

    It may be due to a lot of factors,  but it is certainly starting with the coaching.

    Thanks Kelly Underwood for that lovely description. 
    And good afternoon to all the  personal care workers and residents out there.

    Umpires are getting GWS back in the game here. They’ve forgotten the change in rule re. 50m. 
    Not surprised. They forgot most of the rules Friday night.

    Kelli Underwood and pointless score reviews is a bad combination.

    Vs Billing’s, macadam , schache, Hunter , Fullerton all staring & @ vfl level, not sure how they got this so wrong and can’t expect all to impact but barring Hunter who is struggling we have no gains

    If Freo and Lions win the top 5 on ladder will be interstate teams after this week. And if it stays like that, the AFL will be rapt to have only one MCG final in the first week. Hehe

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
