As has been noted in the team selection thread, Sylvia is out, with Bail replacing him.

That lowers our chances considerably.

But it means Moloney is a definite starter, so hopefully his extra grunt around the clearances, despite Sylvia's loss, will help us.

Looking for a big game from Green today, hopefully he can rebound from his poor game last week. Port's defence is nothing to write home about so hopefully if he plays forward he will be able to kick a few.

    Am sick and tired of losing games in the cease pool that is AAMI Stadium.

    Sucks that Sylvia is out, but at least Beamer is back and we've still got the run and carry from Bail.

    Time for a win.

    Sylvia is a big loss but I am very happy to see Bail back in the team, he should never have been dropped.

    This is true. I reckon he might play further up the ground today, give us some drive going inside 50 that we'll miss with Sylvia out.

    That's where I prefer him playing :)

    Big loss Sylvia, together with Davey. Some big names missing today. Will be a great result if we can get up.

    Go Dees!!!!

    Port wins toss and is kicking right of screen, with the wind, which is apparently a 3 goal breeze

    Just tuned in, missed all the scoring, but is there a breeze going towards Port's end? If so that's a good start from us, and from Watts to kick from 50.

    We apparently look a lot more organised at stoppages and in defence.

    Good stat but poor conversion rate for goals from forward 50 entries, we were second behind bulldogs on this stat a few backs I think?

    True, but when you get it in there six times more than your opponent you'll win regardless

    • 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.
