    I wouldn't mind if it IS us - there are many players who have shown that they are happy by their leadership and by re-signing with the club. If they were unhappy then they wouldn't have stuck around. The ones who will be unhappy are the ones who got it easy during the Dean Bailey era and are now being asked to work much harder than they want to.

    I just hate the club being portrayed by the media as some kind of dis functional circus.

    We're the same as every other club.. Thinking we're above all others is what starts a disfunction in the first.

    Cleaning up a mess is messy, but it's the first part of renewal. Take our medicine and keep moving onto becoming a healthy club.

    The media's excessive interest in all things MFC, is it a blessing or a curse?

    Curse when bad news and blessing when good news.

    Why would it not be a surprise if it is us. Would make it an interesting night at the B&F. I just want this year to be over. In saying that they said it was a big melbourne club. I would like to think we are big but I hope we arent that big. Im sick of hearing stories about how the players and coach dont get on. It would be nice for another club to be in the news for other reasons. Lets hope its essendon.

    DB = Damian Barrett I assume.

    My guess is Bulldogs.

    Lol... Green, Moloney, Rivers, Cook, Gysberts, Davey all gone/possibly gone/or rumored... It's us.

    *edit: plus Jurrah and Lawrence

    im guessing its collingwood and heath shaw is leading the charge

    If it is us, will be interesting to see Gaz's reaction, he's used the show to have a crack at the players to fire them up before, so he doesn't always defend the club as such.

    It would be us I would think. I cant see it being anyone else!

    I don't have a shred of sympathy for our playing group at the moment, so if it's us I'll be a little bit [censored] at the players.

    Anyway, my money's on Carlton.

    It probably SHOULD be us, isn't that what everyone is wanting? All depends on the angle I guess, whether it's players unhappy with their coach etc or the obvious angle of the players that have left in recent times.

    I heard last week that there was some serious infighting at essendon and James hird has even offered his resignation.

    Thing is...

    We aren't exactly exciting news. Everyone already kinda assumes that our players are not that content atm.

    Why would we be newsworthy in terms of this?

    Lol... You know my thing about not trusting people with hardly any posts...

    .... DB is 'holding onto a story'

    Heck even hutchy could figure that out some of our players are not happy, I'll admit DB ain't much higher up the food chain, but its not THAT exciting.

    Wouldn't exactly be a shock would it...

    • 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.
