That's the ticket! Declare victory for the next round only hours a sour defeat! 

Gotta love Dees supporters! 

What I can promise is, unlike a recent Demonlander, I won't declare I'm through should we lose. Au contraire, I take a step closer to total delusion.

    Pittard has such a weird looking face, very irrelevant I know

    Not irrelevant at all. Ugliness needs to be rooted out, not just in football but society as a whole.

    Haha! Don't get me wrong RTG, I like it. 

     

    I think we should all clear the mind - forget individual performance, teams beaten/conceded to or Coodabeens - and take a look at the ladder. 

    If someone showed it to you at Christmas time, how would you feel? 

    I'd feel okay; it looks about right (bar the Freo car-crash). 

    This isn't hippy s**t, it's perspective. It feels crappy right now, but take a step back and think about how we're not jumping off jetties for Bailey anymore.

    We're gonna be alright. Right?

    A little mindfulness could go a long way for many on this forum. 

    Or sedatives.

    Don't worry, we're the #1 team in the league for getting out of form teams back into form, we'll get the bath at Metricon.

    They've got some key injuries, but their depth is poor at the minute.  No one else stepping up.

    Losing your first choice key defenders and coming up against an inform Hogan and Watts will be fun for them.

    Think both Essendon and today proved that just because we're playing a team without a backline doesn't guarantee us a win. Yeah, Gold Coast look like garbage but so did the Saints last week.

    Richmond are dismal. That's always good.

    5 seconds remaining in the third quarter with Port's midfield streaming forward, and Toumpas takes possession running out of the centre. He has a clear opportunity to put boot to ball and slam it so far forward the Tigers can't score before 3QT.

    So he handballs backwards instead. :wacko:

    But Deledio said they have a list which can win a premiership!

    Makes Viney's talk about finals seem pretty conservative, really.

    Wow port 21 points up at 3/4 time. This is a team that doesn't contain 2 of its best players in Gray and Wingard. Geez Port please hold on. It would be a massive upset. I thought the tigers would easily win this.

    That's true. Just not in the AFL.

    If this is what the Richmond seniors are putting up, I'd hate to think what their seconds are doing! 

    Maybe Richmond should cut their losses and switch the teams, so they can at least win a couple of VFL games this year. :ph34r:

    100 point flogging for Gold Coast coming up. Is it just me, or have they been on 39 points for over a quarter now? I'm only going off the score graphic bottom right of the Richmond v Port game, but Gold Coast's score hasn't changed for ages!

    • 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.
