Everybody who plays professional sport wants to win, it is what drives them to be at the top, otherwise we would have the AFL at VAFA standard

My opinion is based on sport was fine about 40 years ago without all these fancy words, teams still won (and lost) and the work environment seemed to survive without them as well....I played sport to win, if I didn't think I could win at a particular sport I didn't do it......that is the 'culture'...it is just some are not as good as others...but it can happen......but it does not need a fancy word to define it....it is just a desire to win

....it has nothing whatsover to do with this overused 'culture' word...

I'm not sure why you're so hung up about a single word.

"Culture" is simply a set of values and behaviors which govern clubs standards; and some clubs standards and adherence is far better than others. Culture definitely varies between clubs and this buzz word succinctly explains the reference.

You're getting hot and bothered by very little.

    says it all really.

    The Bloods Culture is there.

    Play for the Team or leave.

    Hawthorn would have a similar Rock Solid Culture.

    If Hawthorn win next weeks GF they sit on 12 Flags.

    They had 1 when we won in '64.

    Makes my Blood Boil.

    Well keep it boiling,,, at us. We have No One to blame but our own club.

    Our administrators have caused & allowed this, since one of those got rid of our Honesty meter in 1965.

    We started to change when Dick Seddon & others helped out, but then let us slide back into our lounge suits.

    Slow & Laconic comes from plenty.

    Intensity & Hunger lives within the Wilds of the Jungle.

    • 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.
