    Why on earth did they choose Andy Brayshaw for an interview straight after the siren? He has a huge gash in his head and blood was running down the side of his face. There’s literally 22 other players they could interview.

    Agree. Stupidity. Blood pouring down his face from a massive cut on his head. Terrible TV. All we could say was how ridiculous it was.

    I saw him described somewhere as a generational talent DJ. I'm not seeing it, not in Tests.

    A bit of humility would’ve been nice. Instead, he bolted out of the gates, the swashbuckling opener, and was his own biggest fan. His current run of failure might serve as a deflating of his big head.

    And the commentators praising him for being so tough was also idiotic. Not a good message for kids who play footy.

    He's a New South Welshman. Will certainly get a better run at it than the Renshaw's of this world

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    konstas is a kid

    surprised by yr attitude towards him @Ghostwriter given yr fervent defense of the mfc kids

    he's played four tests; plenty of time to grow into the role

    I’ve not met a single MFC kid who is cocky and ahead of himself like Konstas is, not even close.

    I don’t doubt he’ll become a great batsman but he needs to remember he’s not there yet.

    He absolutely lost me when he told Jasprit to “get back to your mark!” That’s disrespectful to say the least. Says a lot about him character-wise.

    unnecesarily harsh

    players on ground say all sorts of rubbish; there's many stories about the dees circa 2015-19 being VERY lippy

    they won't be the first, nor the last

    We let warner go on 1 summer to late. Should never have let him dictate when he got to retire. We needed to settle on an opening pair ages ago.

    Mind you usman isn't going much better

    So the tigs are 1 win behind us.

    Compare their list to ours and that’s pathetic but probs sums up our season and where we r at unfortunately.

    I’m absolutely scratching my head that they’re only one win behind us.

    Admittedly, Essendon have such a lengthy injury list that it’s now an automatic 4 points when you play Essendon till the end of the season.

    i live in thanks that we won't lose to them twice in a season, as playing an injury-ravaged peptides is exactly the sort of game where we kick 7.21 to lose by 3 or so goals

    What’s with the media making excuses for Essendon?

    This was their spine against Richmond:

    B: Laverde, Ridley, Redmond

    Mid: Merrett, Duursma, Durham, Tsatas

    Forward: Wright, Kako, Caddy

    On top of Setterfield, Prior, McGrath and Clarke.

    Still enough quality there to beat Richmond.

    Injuries are a reason, never an excuse. Dogs and GWS have done extremely well in face of personnel and injury concerns.

    would be a perfect end to the weekend to see port lose at home to the eagles, also we play these mugs in a few weeks without jack graham

    Swans season alive according to Derwayne. They’re three games and percentage out of the 8 with four games to play.

    “Mathematically possible”, I guess. Them winning 4 on the trot and neither Bulldogs or Freo winning again seems fairly long odds.

    Edit: it can be any two of Freo, Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Suns, GWS or Geelong to have to lose 4 on the trot, as well as Sydney going WWWW. Anyway, not happening.

    • 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.
