From a match report 

“James Jordon impressed with 26 disposals and a fourth-quarter goal playing on-ball. He could prove an important player in Sydney’s midfield mix if Gulden is forced to miss a chunk of time.”

    Now Errols expected to miss months. A huge blow to the swans

    can we forfeit tomorrow?

    i mean, we tend to have done effectively that the last few times we've played flagmantle, so why not just do it completely this time around?

    My son played on him as an under 14, when Errol played for Maroubra (I think it was), where his dad was the coach. You could see he was going to be something special, but he was, at that time, as most coaches’ sons seemed to be, a bit of a scumbag.

    He has developed into a great player and a great role model, so I really do genuinely wish him a speedy and full recovery.

    Giants with 2 more inside 50s and get smacked by 60 

    On the contrary, the Carlton jerk off is well and truly underway.

    As per the insane media reaction to PRACTICE matches thus far without rhyme or reason, let’s anoint Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon as joint February/March premiers.  🤣😂

    God, I hope Curnow’s injury is at the point where he can never get back to his best on top of Smith and Newman injury to complete derail their seasons from 2025 and beyond. Can’t stand this team.

    If there is a team and a set of supporters that deserves the longest premiership drought in the league, it’s them. Hope St Kilda and Fremantle get one soon.

    Not sure if it's them or the quality of the opposition.

    Your right, it is truly amazing 

    I listen to the latest St Kilda President and it’s just not going to happen,

    I grew up in St Kilda territory, Moorabbin could be a fearsome place at times, I would go there with school mates and wear a Saints scarf for protection!!!

    But they have always been 1 foot away from the Cliff

    It really is amazing that they pull any crowd or Membership. 
    We have had very lean times as well, i am not forgetting that, but we go into Season 2025 chasing number 14…

    Meanwhile at St Kilda…..

    Took a few clients to the Aints intra-club praccie game a few weeks ago. Wasn’t close to being a high standard, so not surprised that they got pantsed yesterday. They definitely need to work on one or two things.

    Been watching H. Reid against Norf. Really not invested in the game. Just jogging from contest to contest. Not working hard at all. 
     

    The kid has so much talent but wonder if he has the work ethic.

    Their failure to win a flag in the 2004-2010 period was the death knell for them. Imagine where North would have been now if they didn't capitalise in the 90s. Well that's the Saints, only a decade behind them and in a worse situation.

    Yes i think you are right Chook. There was a short period of time where Butters and Thomas were the innovators, but it all fell in a screaming heap. 
    North were also very lucky in the 70’s when the 10 year rule came in. 
    If they hadn’t had that opportunity I don’t think they would be here today

    No mate. The other end of South Road!!, although i was aware of The Tech Boyz reputation at certain Saturday night gatherings. 
    Saw a few gigs at The South Side Six in the later 70’s, that was certainly an education

    Slightly different synchronicity cobber, early 70’s. South Side Six brings back some less than salubrious memories. Age was not necessarily a barrier. Lost something there… innocence?  Billy Thorpe no longer the pop singer, on the rise as a rock ‘n roll god.

    At the other end of South Road was Hampton and Brighton Beach!!

    A totally different frontier, with just as much fun.

    Brighton Beach Baths on a southerly buster!  My old school was down there originally. Younger brother managed to scam it somehow and was in the first senior enrollment when St Leonard’s went co-Ed. Now that was fun!

    Much more fun than across the road. Although we used have dancing classes on Saturday night. Where polite young men could meet the fairer sex.

    • 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.
