Alot of the Richmond boys will be playing for their careers in the second half of the season (Richo, Brown, bowden etc) and you would think that rawlings wouldn't be trying to lose , time will tell

absolutely horrid game... wasn't sure who was tanking more.... started off I thought West Coast... but then thought Tigers were doing a pretty good job at tanking too. It was soooo slow and boring. I know we played [censored] last week, but I hope we don't look like that !!!! ... atleast we look like we are trying.

    why is everyone so shocked? its a good plan by the eagles and they have done well. I think they could even steal pick 1 off us if we're not careful. we should be tanking too. round 14 against the eagles is a massive game. i'm calling it the scully cup now.

    I only saw the second half but they were 3 goals down and had Lecras playing on the ball and Selwood deep forward.....................

    Lecras wasn't getting near it and Selwood helped create some much needed forward pressure.

    Can't a team just be crap anymore.

    Even if West Coast tries to win the rest of their matches they'll struggle to do so. I think we're a good chance to get picks 1 and 3, with the Eagles getting picks 2 and 4.

    I dont care how much and how badly West Coast are tanking you would have to rate them a good chance to win against Freo, Richmond and North all at Subiaco. They will win at least 1 of those and i dont see Melbourne winning 3 more.

    I believe the signing of Worsfold to a contract extension is bad news for Melbourne. This lets Worsfold field a team he knows is not good enough to win games but does not put his position in question, thus the eagles can make a real "run" for the priority pick. <_<

    It looks more likely that Melbourne will end up with picks 1 and 3, which i think puts us in a better position for Trengrove at pick 3 as i think the Eagles will take Butcher at 2

    WCE play Richmond, Freo and Melbourne in the coming rounds... whether these teams like it or not, someone has to win these games.

    imo WCE, Richmond AND Freo will all win 5 games this season. Especially considering they all play eachother in the coming rounds.

    Don't forget the toasters managed to lose to us last year, and how bad comparatively were we then? Key game that for them in the tanking landscape.

    Toigs and Superhero-Cape Wharfies have coaches who are looking to prove something and under the pump respectively. That, a Subi stadium chock full of cash (ie long term financial security), and (IMO) a never in doubt contract extension, provides a clear path to a priority pick.

    • 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.
