Just taped this game, but watched the final quarter.

Tigers ordinary - their list will come under close scrutiny in 2013 (I know our team was worse) but in terms of making finals, I can't see it.

Nahas killed us - Shannon Byrnes may be a better pick up than some think if he can recapture some of his old form.

Tapscott is as hard as nails and loves a contest.

I'm glad Nathan Jones will get some support...welcome JV. Jonesy was hammered from pillar to post, but just kept on going.

Bail was very, very good and...

Good on big Stef who kicked the goal that stopped the Tigers getting into the eight (for that round, anyway)

I'm really enjoying the dissection without the emotion.

PS The umpiring is getting worse.

    Bail was great that day.

    Our small defenders remain a point of concern. Do you play Garland small where he's got speed and is reasonably accountable but also has a habit of going third man up and not influencing a contest or can we get Strauss fit an in form or can Nicholson improve his accountability.

    What about the wildcards in Watts, Dunn or Tynan for small defensive regular spots.

    I'm not sure 196cm watts is going to play as a small defender. I'm really hoping for Tynan to develop into that role, and I think Neeld might think the same after he gave him a taste of the action early this year.

    I don't think Tynan should have been dropped after his r1 performance, either. He's tough as nails and I hope to see him pushing for senior selection early in 2013.

    He was the most nervous player I've ever seen but it was his first ever game so it can be excused. He looks to have the goods. Hard, tough and will have some more bulk soon. He was unlucky to have such a bad concussion, otherwise he would have played a few more games in my opinion.

    Tigers had half a team in that day......don't judge them on that performance

    • 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.
