It’s a pity the lion’s weren’t this good last year 

That's exactly what I thought. Where was this last year

Yep.

Sydney have just stopped.

They look like they trained all day yesterday.

Their shot.

Yeah your right, no Sydney player looks really on

 

Depends how Sydney come out after half time, but they have been dominated this quarter... Brisbane going to be hard to beat from here


Remember when Brisbane were 44 points down against the Giants unbelievable turn around 

I hope the Lions win. It would be great to see Conor McKenna get a premiership medal. After the Bombers, he went home and won an All-Ireland for Tyrone. He came back to Oz to the Lions. He would be the first Irishman to do it in that order.

Swans getting exposed by pressure. If you want an AFL match to be decided by talent you need to at least match the pressure levels. Lions may have more talent, but this one's being decided by pressure. Unforgivable by Syndey for the 2nd time in 3 years.

 

Tell you what, Ah Chee has quietly become a very handy player for Brisbane over the last few seasons. Very underrated. 


Would've been nice to have a decent contest to watch.

Said it all year. Swans not good enough. Their forward line is worse than ours. 

Their forwardline is not the issue. Their defense is and their clearance work. No idea why they didn’t play Adams. They have too many outside mids who can’t win their own ball when the heat is on.

Grundy has the second most clearances for them currently. 

How incredible that a team that have absolutely smashed the comp all year are being absolutely smashed by a team that looked like they would not even make the 8 for most of it.

A team that has traveled miles and played an extra final has three times the energy of the other.

Lions were playing good footy but it seems more that Swans just stopped moving .

They turned into complete plodders for a whole quarter.

Lions pressure was strong but it wasn't off the charts.

Hard to work out what happened.

Lions playing confident footy with players backing themselves and prepared to take risks.

But Sydney just looked lazy all of a sudden too.

Oh well......if you think it can't get worse following Sydney.....it's time for Katy Perry.

 


Would rather sacrifice my left nut than see Zorko win a flag, but my disdain for the subhuman asides, Fagan deserves it and no doubt would bring Neale Daniher a lot of joy seeing Joe and Fagan with medallions

Swans have a great fwd line imo.

But the whole team just stopped running and taking the game on.

Turned into spectators after such a strong start.

Maybe a voo doo from their last gf birth.

They are a fantastic side but we've seen a few games this year where they didn't turn up.

Sadly this is another one.

Good aggressive, positive football driven by foot skills slaughtering timid, boring, ugly, contested obsessed footy.

Get it to the outside with some dare and willing to take it through the corridor with foot-skills that should be expected from the highest league in the land.


Anyone know why Bruce is backing commentating? I thought he retired 5 years back. 

Edited by The heart beats true

Swans bigfooty has a sack Horse thread running. How much responsibility should the coach take for the players not having their intensity up at the level of the oppo? For me, it's the players. These guys are way off and if they were competing as hard as the Bris guys then you could start questioning the tactics if they're still getting done...the players have been so poor here. Who on the field is willing these guys to turn the tide?

Heeney also putting in another Herculean performance on GF day. Bloke must suffer from some serious stage-fright

 

lol.  Was that the Swans psychologist addressing the entire swans team at half time. 

The Swans have been dismal. For starters, there's no-one in the middle wanting to do the grunt work. They all want to be the bloke who streams out of the centre or who takes the handball receive. Meanwhile, they've got their best in-an -under player in Parker minding Harris Andrews in the forward line. The Horse has outsmarted himself in my opinion.

  • 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.

  • 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.
