    If a Morton can win a flag I can win Lotto !!

    Anything is possible

    Go Dees !!!

    I feel happy for the Swans, makes me realise how absolutely awesome it would feel if my dees ever won a flag.

    Almost feel jealous of them.

    This is where we need to get to. Please Neeld make this happen!

    PS suck [censored] Hawks :)

    What a great game, made even better with the Dawks losing.

    I don't know of one Hawk supporter that I like so I'm glad they got beat and the Swans go home so they don't bother me.

    With free agency starting on Monday wouldn't it be great if the game was a draw?

    Imagine Rivers fronting up for Hawthorn and Beamer for Sydney in the replay?

    Geez? they'd have to be kept fit.

    Their captain was pick 5. Fairly handy player too.

    Compare the amount of early picks from Melb & Hawks?

    Great game. Probably the two clubs that I admire most, but I'm really glad the Swans won.

    I'm sounding like a broken record but don't forget they have almost just under one million dollars more per year to spend on players.

    I'll say it again, they have recruited and drafted very well but I don't get excited by it when they have an unfair advantage.

    Morton after the game

    "The truth is, my team mates didn't trust me. I knew that I so much work to do. And they were true to me"

    Don't tell me culture doesnt matter.

  • Quote

    No early draft picks!

    No bottoming/tanking!

    Recycled players!

    Culture !

    Flag!

    Now, is this why Sheahan & Healy/Roos etc, were having a crack at us earlier this year. Maybe they were worried about our culture & the future of the club itself.

    Our club has lost its soul & created a culture of tanking thinking that this would bring success! ( present coaching/footy dept not incl)

    Melb,Hawks,& Saints have had a large number of early picks & priority ones too but yet only 1 flag between 3 clubs

    The Swans have continued to bring players from other clubs & turn them around. Morton a reject from Richmond, Shaw from Coll, Richards ess etc

    I would love to have what they have & its called Culture & playing for it other & buy in & belief no individuals

    Did Neville Jettas mum put in a word for Lewis after Neville was drafted?

    The 'Tanking/List Management' wasn't us losing our 'soul'. It was us beginning to try to find a way of learning to win again.

    We are now realising the real problems were elsewhere in our makeup.

    We are Now into rectifying this, atmo, and have some people who seem to know what they're doing.

    We'll get back our soul, that we lost in the 60's, when we become Honest again. Political correct65ness is short changing.

    Hope our players watched the game, hope in particular Gysberts, Watts and Morton did; all the skill in the world won't do you a bean of good if you don't have a hard work ethic. The game isn't all about you it's about the team; winning B&F's won't outweigh a premiership medallion.

    That's why I have faith in Neeld, that's what he wants our team to be; a team.

    The bitterest pill would be if fat Phil got him there.

    • 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.
