NOTHING SPECIAL

I did tell you WJ that this game would be anything but "Nothing Special" I do hope this weeks Review will be a little more optimistic.

I look forward to your next parable

I'll definitely try to sugar coat my next review (due for the Geelong game). There's still some water due to flow under the bridge before that game but I'm looking at ... say ... a 5 goal win. Do you think that's a big enough margin or should I go for 7 goals? ;)

    C'mon WJ, that really was a "special" match. Good skills and all...

    No tell it like it is W.J. You do it well, i just thought you were off the mark a little last week. A lot of work has been done at Melb over the past 9 months as you would know & i thought the club deserved a slightly more positive approach. My opinion.

    Knock it off guys - the only reason that the match was "special" is because we won it.

    The main reason that we won it is because Richmond were atrocious.

    Does anyone honestly think that last Sunday's match would have been at all exciting to watch for those who do not support Melbourne?

    Good performance from the team, yes.

    Objectively "exciting", "colourful" or "special" game of Aussie Rules? No - not unless you count ending Wallace's career.

    Not much in this world gets you excited does it Hazy? Rather Sad really. Considering where this club of ours was 12 Months ago i actually considered last sunday very special, I hope the team can back it up in the coming weeks.

    It was not a special game in general though WYL.

    It was enjoyable from an MFC point of view but that does not make it special. Would you call North Melbourne beating Essendon on Sunday "special"? You'd be laughing or lying to say yes.

    The skills were some of the most amateurish I've seen in a match, not helped by the fact both teams fell into the trap

    The 2nd Q showed a lot of promise to me 45. Its been a while since we kicked an 8 goal quarter when it mattered. The boys played some good footy.

    Compared to some games last year it was great. Lets see how well we can play against adelaide this sunday. We are a chance.

    Didn't see the Essendon Kangas game i was out, but the world tells me it was atrocious so i will believe them.

    • 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.
