    Though only the overly optimistic will predict a win for us I expect us to slug it out and give WC a tough game but they seem to have most of the positives. There has been a refreshing change in attitude from our boys and I expect it to continue. If so, improvement will continue slowly and steadily until we can field a best 22

    I have finally finished watching the Saints game (sorry - thread locked so can't post there)......what an amazing improvement over 2012-13. Unrecognisable. A team with a game plan and confidence to retain possession and be patient.

    Unfortunately the perfect storm is what beat us - preferred 3 forwards missing and the 4th preferred out early PLUS the effective loss of the one player in the AFL who can run with and hold Reiwoldt

    Dunn & Watts in particular are just totally different players this year.

    I have little doubt that had we had one of Clark, Dawes or Hogan, preferably >2, or Fitz playing the full game and TMcD being uninjured we would be far more positive, at 1-0

    I just want to see us compete for four quarters.

    Then may I suggest watching pre 1965 videos of the MFC games

    Or maybe if a few of our players [such as Vince] had of kicked straight!

    Anyone else having trouble with the footy tipping app?

    It takes forever to open if it does then doesn't go to round 2 seems to be stuck on rd 1

    Dave Misson on the injury update with Matt Burgan said Hogan at least 2-3 away

    Hogan hasn't played a game.... I'd be uncomfortable if he came in as the stand alone main man.... We need to ease him in, with the support of Dawes and Fitzpatrick (Clark)... It could real damage his confidence, if he comes in and get smashed by a number 1 defender... Hopefully Dawes is playing when Hogan comes in...

    Got a sneaky feeling Vince will burst out of the middle and kick a goal right out of the gate.

    Agreed. Ins Viney, MacK, Gawn, Hogan and Jamar and Dawes ////. Fiz, Spens and Pedo all out.

    • 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.
