David King is obviously either on the Bombers tonight or has the [censored] up because his little mate Cornes is banned by the Roos. Unbelievably biased.

    Tomorrow night's game looks rubbish so I thought I would watch tonight's game instead. At the least I thought two evenly matched teams who might have a real crack at each other. Essendon are showing some intensity but North look like us rounds 2-5. Their method and skills coming off half back are simply sub standard.

    Everything Bummers is to be despised and there is nothing appealing about North's game style. Waste of a Thursday night really.

    Wasn't it! His ankle seems to have just folded underneath him.

    I might be overly critical by it seems to take forever for the medical staff to respond to these serious injuries. He was on the ground for a long long time

    During the week I found it genuinely amusing any time I ad flicked past claiming that tonight's game was a major contest between two big rivals.

    Essendon v North is the clear 'who cares' game of the round.

    Even Demons v Eagles can we watched with an edge of 'will the Eagles break through and send the Demons back into crisis, or will the Demons continue the grinding turnaround of their season.'

    But this...

    EXCITEMENT: Can Essendon continue their 12-game streak of being between 9th and 16th on the ladder? Only a low-margin win can keep them safe!

    LOL. What a terrible game of football. North at least hitting some form with back to back honourable losses.

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

    Terrible umpiring and a low quality boring scrap.

    And both of them beat us.

    He is dreadful...but so iare most of the other so called expert commentators.

    They just barrack, pump players up and drag teams down and tell us what we already know.

    How about some insight into thregame.

    Zac Merret is a star.

    I didn't know that.

    Thanks Kingy that was great insight mate.

    What the hell was the decision made by the official into the ear piece of the umpire by the way?

    Thank goodness I was at work & missed the game. But I just watched the last 2 minutes.

    I get it was the nths player 1st game but surely you're aware of the clock running down.

    That's also where a simpkin or larkey should have come over to him to settle his nerves & made him aware

    • 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.
