I sometimes get a kind of gastro reaction to certain smells, like badly burnt toast or that acrid black smoke that comes if low smoke-point oils go into a too-hot wok. Like clockwork, three separate urgent trips to the bathroom in the space of 20-30 minutes, and then everything fine again.

Anyhoo.

Just thought I'd help take people's mind off this game.

That is some quality comedy.

    Coffee for me every time LG. I have to know where the nearest WC is before I buy one if I'm out somewhere.

    If it’s a choice between LJ coming back or keeping Kozzie, the choice is an extremely easy one for mine.

    For all of his talent, Luke rarely influences games.

    Watch LJ's footwork during the miracle minute compared to his footwork now. Chalk and cheese.

    I'm glad Freo are getting thumped. Fast becoming one of my least liked clubs.

    The traditional Vietnamese drip coffee is sphinctal anxiety in a cup for me.

    Which is unfortunate given my now copious connections to Vietnam and the fact that the circumstances where choices are limited that way are also the moments where emergency WC (Bathroom, not Eagles) access is not reliable.

    Freo have spent the whole of tonight looking like their most immediate concern is indeed the nearest bathroom.

    The top 8 really is open for any team which gets some consistency in their game.

    3 first rounders for Bolton, eh?

    He was horrific tonight night. It was way over the top for a player known to have games like this. His best and worst are miles apart.

    We can all be bemused by the Shockers tonight. They got unequivocally dacked.

    They still managed one thing we haven't all season.

    Kick 3 goals in the last...

    Let that sink in.

    We really have to do better.

    Saints playing an impressive version of the gamestyle Goody is trying to instill in us.

    We play the Saints twice on way home, huge games to come.

    I dread to think how boring those games will be

    • 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.
