I count 15 that would like us to not win another game this year. 15 so called Melbourne supporters. You can spin it how you want but I'd prefer they went and stunk up another club.

I've been a member for many year...... My family have been members for many year..... I've put in my hard earn money, when the club was dying.... You CAN GET [censored]!!!!

 

Win them all.

But If we lose the next 4 games, I'll then be on the tank bandwagon.

May as well make the most of a horrible season by getting picks 1, 2, 13ish, and Jack Viney.

BBP if we lose the next 4 mate you will not have to worry about tanking we will finish last

No tanking required what so ever

I think we really need to change this losing culture. Get the players wanting to win at all costs, what has losing gain us? After so many years down the bottom we're still contemplating draft picks.

 

I think we need to think big in this game .I want to physically crush them and smash them in all areas of the ground.I want them seriously questioning their decision to ever sign with a fake team.

I liked that Neeld said "we need to address out win-loss ratio" in the latest coaches office...

Reckon the boys will be primed for Sunday.

WE ARE A BAD TEAM

Yes we are a terrible team but I still think we'll finish with 5 wins.

I think PA and the Dogs will eke out a few more wins.

Dogs wont win anymore - I dont even think they want to either.

I watch the Dees games just hoping to see improvement out of the talent we have,

the scoreboards irrelevant to me thesedays, theres no point robbing Peter to pay Paul.

McKenzie out this week with a groin - he played sore with no rotations left on the bench last week, Jetta will get a game so Neeld can have a look at him.

The boys honestly believe they can win this week even though there is only 27 on the list available to pick from.

Neeld thinks we are a good shot this week.

WE ARE A BAD TEAM

Couldn't agree more, we are bad, I have always tried over the past 5 years to stay positive but this year we have seen our senior players take a huge drop in form, Jamar, Green, Davey, Moloney have been nowhere near their best, Frawley has struggled, our midfield is the worse in the AFL. Jones, Howe and McDonald have improved, the rest are the same or gone backwards.

How many wins who knows it could be 2-3 or it could be none, it won't be tanking we are just bad. I do feel we need to manage our players to ensure every required player is fit for the start of pre-season, we can't control what injuries occur and if players stay fit you keep playing them but there is no point bringing players back for 2-3 games, considering we play Adelaide and Fremantle at Subi in the last 2 weeks.

The way we are heading, we might have a repeat of Freo last year where they almost ran out of players to choose from for the final round.

Meanwhile Juice Newton and Nathan Carroll sit by the phone patiently.

Nathan Carroll would be a walk up start in this side - probably even now.

Juice wouldn't be much help anyway - injured as well.

Ironic given we are playing Freo in Freo. Everyone on the list should play because its likely we will only have 22 to choose from the way we are going...

Could be a farewell game for quite a few players...

At least I'll be there to say goodbye to Greeny if this is his final game. Great servant to the club


High draft picks haven't worked - debate the reasons elsewhere: poor picks, poor development, poor culture, poor leadership on and off field?

What we need is to regain a winning culture -- and the best way to do that is to start winning, aiming to win every game by as big a margin as possible. Play 100 per cent for 100 minutes, or as Barassi says 6000 seconds. No respite for our players nor their opponents.

  • 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.
