One win is great, but we need to continue to improve. We have a big month of footy that can really show case our future and show how far we have come in 12 months.

Over the next 6 weeks we play Richmond, Brisbane, North Melb, Bulldogs, West Coast, Port Adelaide(Darwin). It is a great mix of 4 teams that shouldn't make the 8 and imo should be bottom 4 and 2 teams that will be looking for a top 4 spot.

The next 6 weeks is very exciting, hopefully we can continue to improve and win the games we should win.

    I wouldn't lump Port Adelaide with the likes of Richmond, North and the Eagles, but that combination of easier and harder opponents is going to really show where our team is at.

    Hell, I think we're a pretty good chance to be 5 and 5.

    Works well for us, alternating between good teams and "beatables" each week.

    It'll mean the kids get continual timely reminders of what is expected from a top team.

    If we played too many teams at our level in a row we'd get a rude shock when we finally played a contender.

    Also works well keeping the confidence high, cos too many shellackings in a row would hurt.

    Spot on-This Draw just might work out perfectly for a team that is learning to win properly (the Top 4 way) B)

    Possibly we can beat Richmond, North and Wet Toast. Port in round 9 is in NT. No real form guide.

    For mine, 4 & 5 after round 9.

    Then Cats, Tankers and Filth. Could be 4 & 8 after 12.

    Agree, the boys took on the doggies last year and nearly come up trumps. Good chance this year. But I would not put money on it, still a longe way to go this season. Good to see everyone excited either way.

    If you'd have told me we were going to be 2-2 with a one point loss by round 4 I'd have taken it. Likewise if you told me we were going to be 5-5 I'd have taken that too.

    • 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.
