    No credit for Moloney? Not exactly down hill skiing when you perform against the 2nd place side on their homeground...

    I try not to think about how well Moloney is playing, it's too depressing that he isn't doing it for us

    And the drugs have worn off............nnnnnnnnnnnnnnow!

    The come down is harsh.

    That was brilliant by the Lions, Essendon turned up as though they just expected to win, Lions would have none of that and hit them hard from the first bounce. Hurley subbed off concussed within 10 minutes, another player copped a big charge from behind, Brown slammed into someone. This is what I want from the Demons tomorrow, you don't have to be the most skilled side but if you hit them harder than they hit you you're always in with a chance.

    Merrett ought to get suspended for his sling tackle on Hurley (edit: based on Trengove's suspension a few years back, anyway). Clarke ought to get suspended for his charge of Kavanagh.

    This is similar to the reaction to Jetta's suspension a couple of weeks ago - some people view that as the type of aggression/intent we need to show, others view it as a 'cheap shot' and don't like it.

    Top effort by the Bears. I wonder if the MFC could play like that?

    Do they want Neeld?

    Brisbane obviously want Voss to continue, they were stiff last week.

    Essendrug back in form.

    Great.

    15 disposals and not mentioned in the team bests on the AFL website is hardly "performing" Stuie. How many threads do you want to put this misinformation on? I've counted two so far. Get over it, you're turning into Rangey Mk 2 in that you think the more times you post something the more it will be true. Lol!

    Yup, apologies there, I was following the stats online and added up the wrong columns. 15 touches, 7 tackles, and a goal still a pretty good game though.

    Not quite enough though. Same thing he was guilty of with MFC.

    What are you talking about? He was accused of not getting it enough in our loses and too much in our wins? They won today. Do the math.

    It's exactly what he would have done at Melbourne. He continues to substantiate his down-hill ski work. Very, very, very rarely does he get it done against good opposition.

    Never mind Pates, open a Bet365 account and load up big on the Dees at $21.

    Every good game Beamer plays for the Lions is an indictment on both him and Mark Neeld.

    I thought the object was to win money, not lose it.

    As a Bomber supporter we have been playing like this since the GWS game. Obviously against Geelong we didn't take our opportunies kicking 1.9 in the 3rd Q. If the GWS were more experienced and converted missed opportunies they might have beaten us. ATM we lack intensity at the start of the game and as others had pointed out we think we just need to turn up to win.

    Michael Voss is safe atm and he hasn't lost the players at all. Don't forget they were good against the WCE and could have won that game as well. Voss may still get the arse if they decide to go in another direction at the end of the season.

    If you think the Dees and Neeld are under pressure look at the Bulldogs they escape the media attention all the time.

    Do you think the interviews have finally made his scandal really weigh on the playes minds?

    • 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.
