    Why do people who choose to sit in the front row get annoyed at players who topple over the fence and knock their drink out of their hand? It's one of the more stupid reactions by the human race you're likely to see.

    They beat Fremantle two weeks ago.

    They also have wins over Hawthorn (Round 1), the Dogs and GWS.

    But they've also had one of the biggest fixture leg ups we've ever seen, and botched it - they have not left Melbourne since 2 June, which was Round 12. It's now 16 August, and Round 23. They go to Brisbane next week, which means they didn't leave Melbourne for 12 weeks.

    12 weeks. No travel.

    And they're still going to miss the finals.

    (the other fixture leg up goes to St Kilda, who finish this season with their last 6 straight games, and 8 of their last 9 games post-bye, at Marvel Stadium, and are also not going to make finals).

    In fairness the odds of it happening are pretty low and as it was the very end of the game the bar would have been shut. I can feel his pain.

    Wonder if Goldstein will retire now.

    Like every other football forum, but I do get a laugh out of the bombers and blues losses.

    That would make it 7286 days for the Bombers which equates to 20 years since they won a final. The iPhone had just been released 😆

    Let’s hope for another 20 years.

    Smash the pathetic hacks, shatter their finals hope.


    I’ve seen three people in the crowd who I don’t know personally but I see them around where I live. Rough AF. They’re just as scary on TV as in real life. I once saw one of them riding a push bike hands-free with a slab under one arm and fish n chips under the other and a cigarette hanging outta her mouth. She must’ve lost her driver’s licence coz in my suburb that’s the only reason anyone over 18 rides a pushy. True story 

    I bet she wasn't wearing a helmet either and riding on a footpath. Typical your suburb Essendon supporter - what a disgrace 🙃

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
