Against us last week they kicked 3 behinds all day. Today they have 4 halfway through the first.

Rougie's first shot for goal - out on the full. The second was a point from right in front and his third finally made it!

    Chris Johnson's performance so far has been pleasing. 2 kicks, one that cost Carlton a certain goal when he bombed away from 50 with 2 blues alone in the goalsquare and another kick on the full under no pressure. Visy may yet live to rue the $ they spent on that hack. :lol:

    What about Roughhead's hands in the back (not paid again) for his second goal?

    How does he get away with it?

    Because he's so ugly the umpires don't want to have to look at him whilst explaining why he gave away a free kick.

    Yes I am in grade 6.

    Did anyone else see the article in the Sporting Life section of The Age last week about 'average' footy players? Based on team lists, the average height and weight and age were something like 187cm and 88kg (could be wrong), and Chris Johnson is both of those, making him the most 'average' football in the league. Justifies our decision.

    I find that funny and I'm in uni...

    A very observant young man you are!! I am at work & got a top laugh out of that one. Roughie is rather good at Hands in the Back isn't he. Certainly cost us some coin last weekend. Bugger it.

    It's like getting about 700 memberships for nothing. Thanks Roughhead and thanks Clint Bartram

    • 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.
