    THE most intense quarter of COMPETITIVE footy I can recall.....exhausting to watch.

    The club must demand that our guys sit together, as a group without coaches or hangers on at least the first few times, and watch this over and over and over again.

    Amazing intensity, effort, teamwork, courage by both sides. Not one half hearted effort.

    Never let go!

    Learn just what unconditional commitment gets you.

    Wow now thats an exciting game - I wish Neeld was watching (in one quarter they have both scored what we generally score in a whole game)

    15 goals in the first term. Unbelievable!

    And in commentary, Bruce just described Kieran Jack's run as, "jack...off".

    Does it get any better?

    It could have been you Gys .... berts!

    Bruce wasn't watching the footy at that point.

    Watching that little special on Joel Selwood... what a superstar. I wish even a couple of our boys had his fearlessness and work ethic.

    Makes our attitudes look like absolute rubbish. I wonder if Col Sylvia could look Selwood in the eye.

    Been surprised at how bad Bartels disposal has been, must be rooming with Rives and caught the Melbourne disease

    Has Hawkins had a kick? Very quiet.

    Edit. Errr, forget that. 2 goals in a few mins

    It's amazing that every Sydney and Geelong player sprints as soon as they get the ball, Melbourne players jog.

    ....and they even sprint when they don't have the ball, which our guys also must learn from tonight.......IF anyone at our club thinks they could learn from watching two determined, courageous and above all fully committed teams.

    They also run hard when they don't have the ball...

    This is what annoys me, running doesn't take talent. The players either don't think to run (if they are told once that should be enough for their entire career) or they are too lazy.

    Ok this is going to sound like madness..but...

    After watching that game and looking at our list I actually think we should be able to match these teams for effort and intensity. They are human with arms and legs. They just believe in themselves more and have the insatiable hunger to get to contests and help each other. Our players I feel have bought into the psych of we aren't fit enough yet and we are still 'young'. It's total mindset - we should not be 100 point worse team than these sides. Yes we don't have a Selwood or Goodes but we shouldn't be as far off as we seem right now.

    You are totally right in my opinion. In reality, 90 percent of the players in the league can be physically very similarly ranked.

    But it is mostly in the mind... courage, attitude and work ethic... of which ours is [censored].

    I wonder, what kind of sports psych program have we got on down at the MFC?

    Cant stand how McAvaney kept referring to "LRT". Even after he went off injured. So jerky. He seems to have a man crush.

    I agree and have mentioned it before, particularly re Col but other "talents" as well. Do they really WANT to be AFL stars, or would they just LIKE TO be? There is, an enormous difference.

    PYFO and show us, starting tomorrow.

    • 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.
