We all know we have to change the clubs culture to a FireBrand.

We all know we have to get the Mids to be better and Win the clearences.

So we have to all pull together and clingon for the hard yards needed, to get this ship moving out of the Dock.

The engineroom needs an overhaul & a cleanup/out.

Neelds the Captain & Diesel mechanic, & he has the blue prints.

    I'm fedup with Melbourne not being considered one of those sides.

    No not at all. Elite is a word the MFC needs to learn as a basic mantra. Until it becomes second nature.

    Yes dee-luded. I closed my eyes this morning, drew a long deep breath..........relaxed, and with that, accepted where we're at. "Whatever it takes" is our mantra, we will stay the course.

    As supporters we're the lucky ones, all we have to do is support, the Club though, has a monumental amount of work needed for success and we need to support that effort.

    We will stay the course.

    This is how bad things are right now- I would have scoffed at Morton and Bennell being suggested as changes. Now I'm like whateves- ring in the changes, it can't get much worse can it?

    sometimes changes are whats needed to make these boys realise they are in fact competing with one another for the spots.

    Change Davey Out for a Bennell or Strauss.

    Green to the Interchange/Sub: spot... shot over the Bow of HMAS Green.

    Blease out for a strong body please. Let Bail, & Bennell or Strauss provide some run.

    It's like a swear word, the more it is repeated the less impact it has.

    Only if you refuse to take it on board fully. Talk is cheap yes, but elite actions are not and can never be.

    Gee dee-luded two of that three are great options

    Bennell is as bad as Blease and Strauss is still coming back from a terrible broken leg.

    Swapping Bennell for blease is shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic

    I think Bennell plays Subico well so I'd include him.

    (Yep, clutching at straws)

    Your right, exactly, but only because their learning. and Bennell has to learn to put his head over the ball.

    But the Worst thing that can happen is that Blease also learns the half hearted ways,

    So my post is to use the selection table to frequently make changes the Very second someone takes a short step, or fails to put their body inline with the ball or player.

    • 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.
