Watched the game, and there was a stat that caught my attention

- 18th in competition for average Inside 50s at 42.7 (52.3)

- 2nd in competition for average scores per forward entry (I couldn't find this stat online...)

- ?nd in competition for average score per opposition forward entry (anyone?)

If we can improve our I50s we seem to have the potency to make teams pay... means we'll only be better than midfields we can beat or break even with.

we are 2 midfielders away from that happening. Petracca is one. Need one more.

    Pointless thread.

    Are we "better than" Richmond? They are still a finals team.

    At the end of the day it's all about who shows up on the day. We are better than every team if we play four quarters, play to our strengths, and stifle the opposition's area's of strength.

    I read that in a fortune cookie before.

    Blind optomism. Do not return to the Bailey and Neeld years.

    The optimism in the Bailey years was completely justified though. We were beating teams by 100 points and yeah there was inconsistency but we all know Bailey and his department were victims of shocking boardroom mudslinging. We played really attractive footy and times and broke a membership record in 2011.

    nOW THAT'S bs pAUL.. If one cannot enjoy one's social and economic superiority what is the world coming to? What is life all about? Why do you think I drive a Merc rather than a Toyota?

    Look at Earl Hood for example - he even has a servant to put paste on his toothbrush!!

    I am quite happy to remain superior.

    anyone from Brighton,Romsey,Borewood,Greensborough,Ballarat,Perth,Tas,NZ,America ,UK Africa,Asia,Middle East,Europe.

    Might be something to do with my French background.

    But I do not consider myself better than chicks from South America.

    They are my raison d'etre.

    it's interesting BBO, i feel in a couple of years time i will have absolutely no issue enjoying the clubs superiority over other clubs as we have risen up the ladder.

    • 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.
