Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road.

Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides as the Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss.

On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

Our main competitors for a slim chance at the final 8 are presently Essendon, Carlton and Sydney. Losses by each would be handy assuming we win this week and next. It would put us firmly in the mix

I give nth a shot tonight.

Xerri should dominate the ruck & run goldy ragged, there forward line is better & I hope they win.

Hopefully Geelong can knock off the pies & wreck crisps night

best for us would be relatively similar, possibly with the exception of north getting up tonight, aints tomorrow night


This weekend is Magic Round for the NRL. Same concept as Gather Round with all NRL games being played in Brisbane at Lang Park.

Strange thing is that Melbourne Storm and Canberra Raiders have a bye. I wonder if this was deliberately planned and how it works with the advantage of home and away, ground revenues etc

My bad

Read the NRL site wrongly (They had the Bye column next to the game. Seems the Sea Eagles have the bye)

 

North surely have to come out firing soon.

They are sooking about Cornes who admittedly is a [censored], but what’s the point?

you just come off looking petty

Close game. North by 1pt

Ugh I hate Kane Cornes so much. He’s a pigheaded bully who has no issue with picking on junior players. Critiquing is one thing but condescendingly laughing while making up the stupid Sheezy skit is another thing entirely. He’s a nasty bastard and I’m glad North has banned him.

Now watch what he implies or even says if North win tonight (please footy gods let North beat the most revolting team in the league). That conceited POS will take credit for firing them up. 🤮


Ok that Finbar Maley looks like he rode a penny-farthing to the ground 😂

Finnbar Maley, what a beautiful Irish name.

Love seeing a debutante kick a goal.

Especially when it’s against Essendon 😁

What happened to North since they played us? They are incredibly poor.

No wonder Trac cracked it.

Agree- a nasty bastard.And arrogant.

Google Finbar Furey and Mary Black singing “walking with the one I love”.

Such a beautiful song.

Enjoy.


Can’t believe we lost to both these teams.

(But then I can totally believe we actually lost to both these teams)

It is hard to believe just how bad we were for rounds 2-5. Not saying that’s totally in the past, but it feels like it. We were horrendous.

If I may offer some helpful advice, I have a method of dealing with Kane Cornes.

The secret is to never read, watch or listen to anything he has to say.

Could just be me, but Simpkin does f all for a captain and midfielder. His season stats look misleading

Edited by Dee Zephyr

 

I don't watch too many non-Melb games. These two teams are absolute garbage

Terrible umpiring and a low quality boring scrap.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
