    Our team is looking better this time around.

    And younger.

    That team had an average age of 24.

    The one last sunday: 22.41

    I know...

    I was bored.

    I look at that side and I shake my head. How on earth did we lose by 80 points. To Richmond.

    Didn't they win 8 of their last 11? Two weeks before they'd beaten Hawthorn by 5 goals. They were playing with confidence whereas we were well and truly on the wane.

    The fact that White and Yze were playing their last games wasn't enough to disturb the lethargy.

    I know and understand. It's just the margin (80 points) and the club of Richmond.

    It was an older team but considering that we had played Yze, Carrol, White and Holland plays a part.

    • 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.
