Why we will improve rapidly next season

Carlton have the born to rule mentality. Have had extraordinary difficulty moving from we can buy anyone good someone else develops to spotting and developing talent.

We have had similar development difficulties but our problem has been incompetence whilst theirs has been delusion (with a fair degree of incompetence due to inability to adjust to spending restrictions).

Rather be where we are.

This is a team we can knock off.

Others?

    If the pieces click, we are capable of going over Carlton, Collingwood, Adelaide, Essendon, Richmond, GWS, Saints, Doggies, Lions, and maybe Weagles...

    Not Brisbane. The others i kind of agree. I think Brisbane will be very good.

    Today on SEN they were discussing snakes and ladders. Lots of impartial commenters had Melbourne going up. Funny thing was the Carlton supporters saying they were a shot at the top four, but you always get that.

    They will be lucky to get out of the bottom 2.

    We can't help but improve.

    The list appears on paper the strongest and talented we have had for ten years.

    It's not going to click straight away, but that magical word that most D'Landers hate is depth right over the ground.

    We are not relying on a handful of players to play every game.

    If someone goes down injured, suspended, we have equal players ready to step up and take their place.

    We haven't had that luxury for years.

    I noticed that as well, and was somewhat astonished (understatement) that out of all the draftees of the last couple of years who are ready to make their marks, they included an unheard of rookie from Canberra. I would have thought there would be 50 players ahead of Vandenberg - but would be very happy to be proved wrong.

    Great time of the year - the good news just keeps on coming.

    (I'm actually not sure Petracca will do all that much this year, I don't know that he has the tank to do an Ollie Wines. Brayshaw is another story though.)

    It's called expectation. They (Carlton supporters) expect that their team will win enough games to play finals every year, and have a shot at a flag every year. When it doesn't happen, they get nasty.

    They don't go in to the start of the season hoping to win more than 4 games. They rarely use excuses.

    I say this as I have a number of Carlton friends/associates. All from different circles, but all with the same expectation going in to a new season.

      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
