The Saints have added a bit of toughness around the ball plus the run and gun has another pre-season under the belt.

They look pretty good.

    easy to forget that the aints were in finals in 2023, losing an elimination final at home (well, the mcg) to gw$ before having a shocking start to 2024

    their transition football is fun to watch

    I really like the current Saints team. Skills and composure way ahead of ours, though that’s not saying much.

    Loving the aints win... Ross Lyon astute coach, DOESN'T SUFFER FOOLS gladly, I met him once, sized me up pretty quickly and I went away liking the man! has respect of the team, has good structures in place, and a great coaching dialogue. Swears a bit though!

    Freo on Easter Saturday might be a significant event for the club.

    Could be worse than last year if we don’t find some form quickly.

    Scary to think that they beat us by 15 goals last year when we were still a semblance of a competent side.

    Top 5 ball winners today for GWS, wouldn’t be many wasted possessions between them - what a glorious luxury.

    This one is far worse, as Greene looked at Owies before tunnelling him and then Owies is completely upended, landing on his head. This was extremely dangerous. Greene could have pulled out.

    Now the old boys are saying “what could Toby have done”? Pulled out for a start.

    This is the difference in the media.

    Fritta canned and people looking for a suspension and with Toby, trying to get him off.

    I [censored] hate the media and tribunal

    Gus. Oh, Gus. My heart is still rent in twain.

    I would hope that Brad Gwen and Steven Smith are putting together a very small committee to look at potential coaching and football staffing appointments.

    Things are not right.

    But it is what it is !

    if we have no improvement in the next 8-10 games. Pull the trigger urgently. Not for this year but next. Need to have the next coach and JT and his team all using the same songbook.

    Waiting until the last few games waste most of next year. Done that for at least 3 years treading water not going anywhere.

    I do hope we can beat the bombers

    But what about the in depth review ? Wasn't that supposed to fix things

    They flicked Pert who wasn't the main problem probably Pert was trying to highlight the real problems and got the boot instead

    Yes you might be right. Unless we/ you are part of the “inner circle”. We are never going to know, and then if it’s put up on here, someone will say it’s only heresay and you/ we are making it up. Fake news has a lot to answer for, and never takes responsibility. But if sure seems things have been “crook” for a while. All the time sayings things are fine.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
