Geelong played a worse game in mid season last year but managed to regroup to put in some good performances before going out of the finals in straight sets.

Definitely on the decline. They have a lot of players coming to the end of their tether and I'm not sure whether the combination of Hawkins and Clark is really going to work - their forward line looked cluttered and one paced.

A lot of their star players are near the end and under Scott the Cats haven't learned a defensive game. Of course they haven't needed it in the past where they went all out attack with the class to do it. As we have seen under Bailey, if you don't have the cattle you can cop a few good beltings with this approach and I think this will be more the norm for them.

    Yes I agree Curry.

    I posted on this forum , when Frawley was still a Dee, that his communication skills were roughly equivalent to a pot plant.

    No offense meant to pot plants.

    yeah,yeah bbo......but what type of pot plant

    some pot plants are sharper than others

    Well folks, do we stick to our predictions of no more than 4-6 wins and bottom four?

    Some of the sides we thought we wouldn't beat looked pretty bog ordinary this round.

    Bears. West Coke. Norf. Even the Pus Kitties. Not to mention the Baggers and the Colliwobbles.

    And that win against the Doggies in NAB Challenge not looking so bad now.

    I thought the number 8 was the magic number last time we did a wins prediction thread.. I still reckon that's about right

    Seems about right. Still hope we can grab a couple more but 8 would be on track.

    My biggest highlight? Carlton are firmly, firmly in the poo.

    As, we hope, are the Whinge-aroos!

    • 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.
