Yes I left at three quarter time, because this disaster hit at the core of what I would imagine drives every supporter of every club. HOPE. I am 65 and believe this rebuild of the rebuild is already destined for failure so that we are now on a 10 year plan. That is when Hogan, Grimes, Viney, Toumpas, maybe Trengove....will be the core of the future with years of experience and aged approx 25 to 30. That will make me 75 with more than fingers crossed.

The fact that Sellars, Byrne, Gillies, Roden can hardly crack 10 possessions is ridiculous. They are meant to change culture at the club. Maybe on the training track, but not on the field. If we go down by 150 points with them in, then I don't want it. Playing them is treading water.

I want to go with an ounce of hope. Matt Jones and Terlich at least provided this.

I want to go back to watching the young kids even if they don't get to many more kicks than the retreads have been getting.

I'll be there next Saturday, but give me a reason for hope. I'll take any loss a lot easier with reason to HOPE.

Give me a reason.

    I'm with you Harrison and not just because I too am running out of time. "Retreads" is right, they can be a dangerous choice.

    Time to ditch the Steels, go for some lightweight Alloys and maybe some Toyo R888s or Bridgestone RE50As.

    I don't disgree with this but if we 'Go young' but we may not win a game in 2013

    If we play young players and have a real crack I am not sure too many people will mind. The first point is valid. Losing by 150 with recycled players is just dumb.

    With the apparently favoured group, unless there is a hardly-predictable and massive turnaround, a winless season would have to be on the cards.

    • 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.
