 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.

    • 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.

      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.
