The slenderest chance of making that final 8th spot probably went with Essendon's one point win over the swans tonight. Our most realistic best conclusion to the year would be 42 pts. Essendon and Sydney are now both on 38 points with Ess to play Port at Etihad in round 23 and Sydney to play Bris in round 24. Both should end with a minimum of 42, with better percentage. We would have to make up the 17% to Ess and 25% on Swans. Still Mathematically possible if we win all four including Eagles and the others fall over including Freo

    OMG have you been watching us play???? Relying on others to lose? Are you assuming we will not slip up against one of GC, Rich and port. It was over before the Essendon win. Today and the last two weeks absolutely crushed us. Just praying for a somewhat consistent finish to the season(and I dont mean 70 to 190 point beltings). Another very long off season coming up. Lets just hope we snag the right coach and maybe a couple of mature bodies come trade week (and don't lose to many mature bodies).

    After todays game we are not in the finals race....far from it....The club has to take a good hard look at itself before we go to September.

    We will have our own Finals series inside the club over summer anyway. More important right now.

    Hopefully people will stop fantasizing about making the finals now. We are no certainties of winning any of the last few games let alone 4 of them. Given the favorable draw we were given this year, this season has been an epic fail!

    1) Stop thinking about us playing finals.

    2) We were only ever going to be a realistic chance to play finals if we won one of the horror four. So far we've been annihilated three times.

    3) On current form the long and widely held assumption that we'll win our last three games ought not be presupposed.

    • 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.
