I don't think there's any doubt that Adelaide are ahead of us. Their senior players are far better than ours (Goodwin, McLeod, Edwards, Thompson, Rutten, Bock, Burton), they have a quality group of young- to mid-20s (van Berlo, Vince, Johncock, Porplyzia, Stevens) and they have some gun kids coming through too (Walker, Dangerfield, Petrenko). We will not finish ahead of Adelaide for three or fours years at least. Pains me to say this, but it's true. Many people in Melbourne are underestimating Adelaide.

Yeah you're right, Adelaide's a better team than I gave them credit for. Dangerfield is a gun, Petrenko and Walker look the part too. Porplyzia's still young as well.

    So what you're saying is that we are in front of all teams except Geelong, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs, Carlton and Richmond? I would say that Essendon, Port Adelaide, Brisbane, possibly Adelaide as well are all in front of us.

    So your saying they will win a flag before us? I dont think so for the reason that we are well and truly in the middle of re-building as they haven't really began like we have. They still have quite a bit to do.

    I don't like the idea of Premiership clocks and windows. The aim should be to try and create the best team possible for now and into the future, if they win, they win if they don't they don't. There's no point trying to predict things all the time, it just creates unnecessary pressure when the so-called window is open and allows for standards to be dropped when the clock is at one, or whatever it is.

    Our clock is out of batteries

    I think our premiership clock is an analogue one (circa '64) and is a wind up one!!

    We are ahead of ND as his premiership clock has stopped altogether. Howevere I think it has somehow managed to not even be correct twice a day as I dont recalll it ever having told the correct time in 10 years! :blink:

    If you think we're ahead of Brisbane or Adelaide I think you're talking out of your backside.

    • 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.
