Thankfully PCL and no surgery but with bad achilles now as well I'd say we've seen the best of CMC. Will be a big ask to hit those heights again and really the coach needs to take some responsibility for overusing him.

Incidentally Jordan Mason the no.2 is out of the season as well. 

I think he can get back to his best, but they should bring his snaps down some to help preserve him. Especially vs the Rams... 0 snaps every time :P

    He very well could Gorg but at 28 y.o it can be tough for a RB especially once those big injuries kick in. I'm sure he'll still provide great value, but his season last year was truly something else. 

    I'm actually not always a fan of having a sole RB and especially not in the offense we play. I really prefer a 70-30 ratio with someone like Mason predominately doing the 'meat grinding' runs. 

    Ever since CMC came here Kyle gives him 20-25 hand-offs a game. He's someone who likes to take his Ferrari off road driving..

    Agree on the sharing, We looked much better with Blake Corum getting a good amount of carries as well as Williams.

    Lions more beaten up, another 2 D-line missing and the LT, all ruled out.

    Packers could be a show this week?

    Yeah, I was close to tipping them, if I knew the outs I prob would have chosen them.

    Bengals, Bills, Seahawks

    If the Packers are going to feature prominently in the playoffs, we'll need to win this match against a banged up Detroit defence

    In saying that, Detroit still have plenty of weapons on their offense (averaging 32 points per game)

    Might be a shoot-out as the Green Bay offense has been quite reasonable this season

    RBs tend to flame out very quickly, especially following injuries, unless they are Derrick Henry. Most have about 4 years of domination and then fall of a cliff.

    Exactly right Gonzo, they can come and go like comets.

    The greatest RB of all time Jim Brown played 8 seasons. Barry Sanders 9, Terrell Davis 6 etc. I know there's longer term examples but it is a churn and burn lifestyle.

    Exactly 

    The Lions are playing like their defence is at full strength!!  

    The Packers 9 & 3 record is flattering as we've had a soft schedule

    Packers getting their run game going this drive. 1st and goal so great chance to get on the board.

    They (Detroit) are just a really good team

    Packers get the ball first in the 2nd half and have to score a TD ... field goals won't win this match as Deroit will almost certainly put up 30+

    goff throws the terrible pick to give packers great field position. Packers get the Td and just like that they are ahead.

    i'm feeling good about my smokey (if you can consider a 9-3 team a smokey)

    Campbell is too aggressive with his 4th down play calling. Lions fail to convert and hand the ball back in great field position.

    There's a reason no one else is that aggressive. it doesn't pay off overall. Cost the Lions the championship game last year.

    • 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.
