This just frustrates me. Cats don’t really have any stars in their prime anymore. Sure Danger and Cameron are great but well past their prime.

It’s hard to understand how this team keeps going top 4 other than to think this is all to do with the footy dept.

It’s the nature of this season. 

Sides are going to make top 4 who just aren’t at the level of top 4 sides of years past. 

I believe this is the first ever season in which all 18 clubs have had a stretch of going 1-4 or worse. 

Sydney last week lost by 100.

Port just struggled to put away a bottom 6 side (us).

GWS has lost on expected score for almost every one of their last 6 wins. 

Geelong has multiple 10 goal losses and struggled last week against a bottom 4 side.

Brisbane isn’t even in the top 4!

The Hawks are up and comers who are having a "red hot go".

To see them them knock off the baggers would make this weekend almost tolerable.

True, but the weekend hasn't been that bad. C'wood & Essendon lost.  (and we did not get beaten by 100 points as many posters were predicting).


I spoke to a few members at the footy last night who said they got an email from the club this week asking their opinion about Wildcard round. Anyone else get this?

hawks not afraid to kick into the corridor and have nailed a couple so far

 

Carlton are frauds

My god Hawthorn are bloody exciting to watch.

Haw are back

So very depressing…

Far be it from me to approve of Hawthorn being good, but are there any non-Melbourne teams you'd be happy with being good?

No. I have seen far too many enemies win Flags 


Carlton about to prove that a premiership needs some luck

Just turned on the footy to see that Carlton are getting humped and Curnow has just hobbled off the ground. As Bruce McAveney might stay. Delicious!

Something that nearly ever member of Demonland likes to ignore. 
In a competition this close, luck and especially injury luck, is one of the key factors in winning premierships. 

Hawks only 2.4% behind Carlton now. Keep up their rate of scoring and they'll overtake them on the ladder. 

It’s amazing how exciting football can be by moving the ball quickly, tackling hard and hitting targets. If only …….

 

I hate the Hawks

but they are playing blindly footy at the moment. very hard not to admire the way they go about it

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
