"We raised it to new depths" - maybe appropriate in reference to Caro.

    "The [censored] is going to hit the roof."

    This happened to a mate of mine when he was trying to get up from his bed to vomit after a house party. For whatever reason he got out of bed by standing on it and then vomitted and shat at the same time, somehow getting vomit all over his bed and floor and a decent amount of sh!t on the ceiling. We still have no idea how he did it.

    On the mixed up clichés theme rather than the mixed up metaphors one, an old supervisor used to say "In all honestly..." before almost everything because he was an idiot.

    Steve Johnson has been an aspiration to me also.

    That isn't a mixed metaphor.

    No, but the saying is 'you're as useful as [censored] on a bull', not 'useless'

    So fits in the theme of the thread

    Ha. Wonder if the AFL investigated him for 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.
