    On Friday night Channel Sloven cut to the Crow-box at an especially crucial juncture of the match and therein it appeared that DB was holding court, with, importantly, Sander's full and barely divided attention.

    Juxtapose with footage of our MFC coaching chit-chat reject Ross Lyon when the same said match was all but but not entirely lost and the great man and proclaimed spiritual resurrector was seen to tear a headset off a hapless assistant's head with nought but bitter disrespect.

    Finals, high pressure, sure . . . but not so recently, I believe on these very boards, I watched 'inside' footage of coach Mark Neeld in the gameday box telling Messers Craig among others in the box to wait, sshhh, hang-on, let me think, like a sad and confused multi-tasking houswife having a serious mental breakdown during a Monday-morning Hilux commute.

    (2011) Neil Craig - Adelaide - 14th

    (2011 rd 19) Dean Bailey - Melbourne 10th

    (2012) Sando (w DB) - Adelaide - prelim

    (2012) Neeld (w. NC) - Melbourne - 16th

    Disregarding Ross('s?) effrot to lift Freo from 11th to a semi, does something else feel out of whack here?

    I haven't bothered to read the thread because frankly I have no idea what the OP is supposed to be about.

    But anyway, Ross' phone broke, that's why he took the assistants headset, then threw it back a second later because the game was done.

    Not that I care either way, I can't stand Ross Lyon.

    Of course Dean Bailey is doing well now. He has a full selection of resources.

    At Melbourne he had bare cupboards.

    Doesn't explain recruiting decisions though!!

    Clarkson also punched a hole in a wall instead of coaching his team, good or bad coach?

    Nah it was Tony Abbott

    That sounds very Monty Pythonesque

    • 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.
