In a poll of captains as to who would make the top eight not one vote was cast for the Dees.

Not even Junior?

    Captains didn't vote for their own club, therefore the max amount of votes was 15.

    Fair enough then.

    And even if he could vote for us, I'm sure he's a more realistic bloke than Bruce, Robbo, White and Neale.

    It's like that with these sorts of things every year/time.

    After Last years Form what is so strange about that? In the eyes of all other clubs we are out with the Garbage. The Great Percentage Booster for each team to play..

    Why would anybody even be surprised about that?

    Whilst I expect to be bottom 8 - I'll be gutted if we don't rack up a few more wins than last year ...

    14 were not sure, they would take it one game at a time and are ticking all the right boxes for now!

    AFL captains are idiots.

    15 said Carlton would make the 8 this year.

    Does this honestly surprise anyone?!

    I would love to be in the top 8, but if we were to finish in 8 - 12 i would be a very happy man. If we were to finish 12 - 14 i would still look at the season as a decent campaign - thats only if we are competitive week in week out, no 100 point thrashings.

    Its going to be a long road, but a great journey!

    This does not prove your point at all.

    If Carltank dont make the 8 this year then there will be alot questions being asked about their list and coaching.

    If Judd, Fev, Gibbs, Stevens, Murphy, Kruezer remain fit and in form with a couple of others standing up then they should be able to give the 8 a real shake.

    Personally, I would be happy if they dont. But I expect they will make the 8.

    just for consistency sake, I'm sure the same thing was mentioned last year.

    The difference this year was that it wasn't just us, fifteen captains also nominated West Coast to finish outside the eight.

    Source was FoxSports.

    I expect them to finish 2nd or 3rd.

    You can call me an idiot at the end of the season.

    I think let every one believe we will finish last.

    Go ahead under estimate us I dare you.

    Go Dee's

    • 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.
