Was flicking through it this afternoon and thought I'd post something about the Dees. My question and his response is below:

---------------------------------------------------

Did the game against the Kangaroos do anything to change your opinion of Melbourne's 2009 fortunes? I'm certainly not hoping for any miracles but I thought you might have been a bit harsh in the Footy magazine a week or so back. We're not great but I don't think we'll be the worst side this year. - Rob

Fair enough Rob, I might have been a bit tough. Thought there were some really good signs on Sunday. Kids like Cheney and Jetta looked good, and I'd forgotten what a prospect Petterd is. No doubt the Dees will cause more than a couple of upsets. - Rohan

--------------------------------------------------

I don't really think we're going to be that great, and if I'm being honest I probably don't care (would prefer to see us bottom out for one more year then mount a serious challenge in the years ahead) but wanted to give him a bit of a dig about his predictions in the Age Footy magazine.

    I don't expect us to be great this year either. Or next year. Or the year after. When he says "upsets", I suspect he means against teams like Essendon/North/Sydney/WC/other bottom-8 sides that we will no doubt go in as underdogs.

    • 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.
