What happened to the thread about media hypocrisy and all that? Because ol' mate Barrett has excelled himself by proceeding directly from giving Hawthorn a [censored] for how much they 'don't care what anyone thinks' and how every club should follow their example - "The attitude is stunningly compelling and powerfully effective."

to Melbourne;

"seems a tad fake and even forced. Seems to be a lot of recreation of history, too. Oh well, it’s been a well-coordinated media strategy"

 

Am I the only one who looks at Hawthorn's obsessive social media attention seeking and sees... obsessive social media attention seeking?

Anyway, I was always going to watch tonight for the sake of getting a little warm-up dose of football, but I really think for the first time in my life I'm actually going to be wishing injuries upon a team. It's not like hating Collingwood or even Essendon, where the fault lies with the some mix of the club leaders, the coteries, the fan culture, and some particularly annoying individuals. At Hawthorn the players really have bought in to the whole 'precocious little [censored]' fantasy with a terrible case of main character syndrome.

Hmm, let's not say injuries, even now I can't do it. Let's just hope that seven of their players get pinged for recreational pee-in-a-cup results on the same weekend and all have to sit out the next two years while they wait for AFL lawyers to bother submitting paperwork.

Lmao, Barrett can barely pass as someone his mum would be proud of. God forbid, but Barrett can suddenly pass and no one would give a [censored]. 

He’s an absolute stain. Wouldn’t pay much heed.

 

Worpel and Weddle sound like a terrible comedy duo

For Sunday's game, how do you go from potentially 70mm of rain to potentially just 5mm of rain in the space of 24 hours.

I was leveraging off GWS slogging it out in heavy conditions in preparation for our game next weekend, but now it looks like it could be a dry game

Why ? 
A cyclone effecting Brisbane and Gold Coast  is a one year in 50 or 100 event. 
Never been a cyclone in Brisbane before.

I'm just keeping a mental log. Think of each tedious repetition of the company lines as another tick on the countdown to bloody revolution.

Honestly, Sydney this last week has been significantly different weather every 6 hours. Not whimsically so like Melbourne weather, but in deep mood swings that settle and then swing around all over.

I think you're missing a 'was', unfortunately.

The PerilAUS database shows there have been 46 tropical cyclones near Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Most have been minor; the most damaging were tropical cyclones Dinah in January 1967 and Wanda in 1974.

And the rain isn't drizzly or misty like is often the case in Melbourne. 

I've had the same load of washing rained on 3 times this week, because the weather changes are sudden and not as forecasted 😅

Looking forward to tonight. Seeing if the hawks can continue on from last year and how the swans bounce back after that hideous gf.

Also good luck to Dean cox in his 1st game as coach.

So are people tuning into ch7 or foxtel?

No bt & I like jb & Al Nicholson but I'll take Gerard & huddo tonight.

Best thing about friday night footy tomorrow….

No BT, No Darce

Huddo and Whateley

I get that some don’t like Gerald but he is a great call. No BS dukes wheels and sizzlers - just calling the game

Do people still like Huddo? I am not sure I rate him that highly anymore. Still better than BT though. 


The footy is back baby! 

Hoping the hawks return to earth with a thud. And that jumper looks sheet. 

I think Swans by a 10+ goal margin which will send all the pundits that selected Hawks as  their premiership favourite back under the rock they crawled out of.

Truly dreadful that guernsey. Especially for a season opener with zero clash between their main guernsey and the Swans.

Yep huddo is clear in his calling, rarely makes a mistake and has come up with some of the best one line calls in the game

No poos and wees for the Hawks tonight. Just poos and whatever that other colour is. 


Did the printer run out of ink for the Hawks jumper??

Look out for the BWS ‘on my way’ ad during the match. The girl is a Dees fan complete with red and blue nails ❤️💙

The umps are enjoying the friday night spotlight

I very much like Huddo commentating. He doesn’t go “off-topic” like so many others do.

  • 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.
