 The 2025 AFL Preseason Ladder is back and the Dees are doing nicely thank you.

We had to refine the system a little to cater for the Indigenous All Stars game and the three way miniseries in Queensland. We improvised for the latter game played over two periods equivalent to half a game so we awarded half points resulting in this ladder.

West Coast Eagles   1 0 0 62 26 238.5 4
Sydney Swans     1 0 0 125 68 183.8 4
Melbourne              1 0 0 117 70 167.1 4
Indigenous All Stars   1 0 0 108 65 166.2 4
Gold Coast Suns     1 0 0 97 58 140.6 4
Essendon                   1 0 0 77 58 132.8 4
Adelaide                    1 0 0 103 79 130.4 4
Geelong                       1 0 0 106 86 123.3 4
St Kilda                    1 0 0 69 58 119.0 4
Brisbane                  ½    ½  0 76 73 104.1 2
Carlton                    0 1 0 58 69 84.1 0
Hawthorn                    0 1 0 86 106 81.1 0
Port Adelaide            0 1 0 79 103 76.7 0
Western Bulldogs       0 1 0 58 77 75.3 0
Collingwood  0 1 0 58 89 65.2 0
Fremantle                     0 1 0 65 108 60.2 0
North Melbourne      0 1 0 70 117 59.8 0
GWS Giants            0 1 0 68 125 54.4 0
Richmond             0 1 0 26 62 41.9 0

Note: Despite the fact that Kozzie Pickett is serving a three match suspension, he's figured in two wins to date.

    How good is it to see Collingwood winless and languishing near the bottom of the ladder?

    2nd highest points for…

    That’s a great sign.

    We scored 90 points vs Freo which is going to win you a game of footy far more often than not in modern day footy, whereby scores are lower than yesteryear.

    For example last year, in 7 of our 12 losses the opposition didn’t kick 90 points.

    Sounds obvious but  it’s so important that we apply scoreboard pressure. None of this scoring 50 points nonsense against Port and going down by 2 points because we let the opposition off the hook.

    • 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.
