Ok so there are three games to be played in the comp this year - WCE, Port and Richmond. Now that we got last night's slaughtering out of the way, we should be able to win some of these games, at least one as a minimum. I am not sure how the draft picks work but does it mean that we shouldn't be striving to get off the bottom of the ladder so we can get the first pick?...

If it's not the case and we should be striving for these wins in our remaining games, I just hope Bails is out there with the players really driving them hard and getting them focused and more confident. I noticed he gave the guys a serve during half time and hope he really gets them out there and working harder... I just don't think we should be quitting now or simply going through the motions of the final rounds, we need to redeem ourselves especially after the good work in some of the games (excluding last night) of late even though we didn't win them.

Last night's game aside, there's one reason I keep supporting the Dees for and that is we are a team with Spirit.

    I stuck it out to the finish, as tough as it was. West Coast next week. Probably a win for the Dees and their last for the season.

    we want two wins but not 3 i recon

    obviously we want the priority pick and i think we'll finish bottom anyway, but winning 4 games or less is more important than finishing bottom

    i'm hoping that we can trade sylvia and a 3rd or 4th rounder for a another 1st rounder, giving us 4 top 20 picks

    Why can't we beat Port Adelaide? No Tredrea, no Kane Cornes, terribly out of form and wanting to finish as low as possible on the ladder.

    Because the last time we won at AAMI Stadium the Germans were invading Poland.

    onya hightower for hangin in there on such a cold and rainy night, just hope you were at least undercover :)

    I think nugget might be onto something and even though I would love to think we could get two wins, I will go conservative, hope for one and then have an excuse to celebrate like crazy.

    jaded has a point about away games, look at what happened when we played freo, should have won that one at least.

    I just hope bails is out there right now training with them and getting them to practise those ball skills, we have to get an edge somehow and why not through hard work and perseverance?....................

    Look, we should lose to WCE just to prove that we can do it, unlike the Carltank game last year. We've worked ourselves up for this loss.. what do you think the Geelong flogging was all about? Percentage!

    Then we go ahead and and beat PA over there, a) because we can and 'b) to shut their supporters up.

    Then the only job left to do is keep the Ferals out of the finals in the last game, just for spite.

    Our footy department should then have all the tools they need to draft til their heart's content.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
