That's 2 reviews. Surely a goal ump should call those. Within 2 metres on both occasions. time wasting !!!

Especially the second one. Goal umpire should’ve backed himself.

    I’m just happy to see the ball somewhere other than in the Lions goal square

    He did and correctly.

    Field umpire came in and called for reviews.

    2022 is proving an ordinary draft - the first four will be stars though.

    Looks to me like there’s a fair few players from that draft that will be pretty good – not just the top four. I could name Michalanney, Weddel, Humphrey, and Fletcher off the top of my head. Then of course there’s The poo 💩

    Seriously though, I was wondering a bit as well. Mainly because this group was more affected by Covid than any other. No under 16’s, no underage year. Even in 2022 I think the state squads were a bit all over the place.

    So I think many of them will have a slower start to their careers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the games played is not significantly different by the end.

    The big o has the same kicking coach as Max.

    Given his time at Casey, maybe Max himself was McInerney's kicking coach.

    Be a bit like like living next door to Federer and getting chess lessons.

    not sure what the point of that goal umpire is

    It's pathetic isn't it? All was lost when they got rid of the lab coats. Up until then they were the most trusted of community members.

    poor handball from bont there

    a rare occurrence

    I watch the Dogs most weeks. I recon he's been 1 or 2 percent off his best for a few weeks. So he's the best player in the comp by only half the length of the Flemmington straight now.

    Been travelling to warmer climes so missed the chance to post the alternative sports this weekend.

    World wide it's a quiet week but with the Storm playing Manly tomorrow with a win putting them top of the ladder it's a game worth watching. The NRL ladder or table as it's called can be a hard one to decipher due to 17 teams and rolling byes. Eagles before tomorrow have played 18 games with Storm at 16. That's three less games with only 6 weeks or so to go. Madness !(Shades of AFL with 19 teams perhaps)

    Looked at several footy fixtures Round 24 has Essendon and Gold Coast playing 2 matches on the same day. Essendon and Sun have played one less match, not sure how they are going to make up the matches ?

    • 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.
