...when all the knee-jerk hissy fits have finished and the pundits have stopped kicking the [censored] out of a club that's on the floor, what can be done from here? How do we bring confidence back into this playing group? How can we realistically turn this juggernaut around?

    There has to be an answer. Is it a system change? Do we just try and lose by less and less each week til we win?

    Ha ha - fair enough, but screaming for everybody's head isn't the answer.

    I get worried I will be hit by a car, I get worried that I will loose my job, I get worried that my girlfriend will revoke my hall pass on Miranda Kerr - I get worried about alot of things, but I'm not worried about this.

    Not an ideal start to any season, but not a reason to start sending memberships back in.

    Man on man football? Performance based contracts only?

    Could you imagine performance based contracts? The club would save MILLIONS.

    You nailed it. This playing group have no idea. That could be a coaching fault or a playing group fault or a combination but its a big enough mess that it won't be fixed without blood being spilt.

    This is simply gut wrenching......but you are correct that we will recover, the saddest factor being with how many supporters.....we have lost generation over seven years who follow success, many start out that way. We would not have earned a neutral supporter for almost a decade.

    We need real leaders of men. I still believe neeld can manage and has a vision, but he cannot coach. Put Craig in tomorrow and move on.......then give half the mcg for Paul Roos.

    Then we start again.

    No, I will not.
    I didn't freak out when we lost to Hawthorn by 100 in round 1 2008.

    I was annoyed at 186 but I hadn't lost hope.

    I have completely lost all semblance of hope.

    Things must change now. This is pathetic. If someone, ANYONE, doesn't offer their resignation soon, they will lose me as a supporter.

    Do things the hard way. Drag players out of bed At 5 tomorrow morning for a ten k time trial. Put sanctions on them like children.

    I don't know, fold?

    I will never give up my Membership but if it hurt the players as much as it hurts me, we would turn it around in no time. IE to many of our player not mind losing.

    The club is in deep trouble,as a whole.

    Best we try to be nice to each other and not rip the joint to bits.

    Football is only a game.

    We are alive and the sun will come up tomorrow.

    Panic ,drastic supporter action ,strikes,riots etc wont help now.

    I actually feel sorry for our players now.

    We should attempt to be stoic at the moment.

    Sacking everybody will make this worse.

    • 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.
