    God this week's game is crucial- we win we stay in the 8- we keep the dogs from getting another 4 points clear (who have GWS next week),  then the next two weeks we have Brisbane and Port.  We could be on a 4 win streak in 3 weeks time and a genuine chance at finals. 

    I'd say this game coming up is our biggest in a long time and I'm getting nervous..

    very much so.

    great win tigers.

    I hate Richmond but that's good for footy. 

    Hardwick lives to fight another week. Great effort, could be the first of 9 in a row.

    Didn't Sydney have the ball with about 30 seconds left? How did they turn it over?

    50 metre kick after the siren too!

    Unfathomable stupidity, that's how. Buddy was free on the wing, but some player kicked it inside 50 to a marking contest with about 30 seconds on the clock. Lo and behold, Richmond got a favourable bounce and within two kicks they had it down to Lloyd. Longmire would be absolutely furious, there is no way Richmond should've won that.

    Great, great win. Swans do not play the G well and Tigers were stiffed by the ump several times so well done.

    Wow that was a great last quarter and Rance just stood up when it counted. To have the confidence to leave your opponent in Buddy to go over and intercept the ball was great.

    But yeah they had the ball in there hands with under a minute to go. Instead of chipping it to buddy who was near the boundary line on his own the player just kicked it into there forward line and thats how the turnover occured. 

    Just having a look at the ladder. Tomorrow we have to win just to try to get 2 games clear of the teams behind us.

    Rance was very impressive. Cops some stick but played with a lot of heart.

    Could Richmond make finals from an impossible situation for the third straight year? I'm saying no, but Melbourne could determine the outcome to that one.

    But they did..Richmond got a second life. Their kicking for goal in the 3rd quarter was atrocious

    Swans should have lost by more. 

    Lets hope Richmond don't get on a roll. Their supporters appear from everywhere...!

    The problem is they spend so much energy winning all these games in a row, by the time they make finals they are stuffed.

    Pretty much, they "peak" at the wrong time. You need to start the season strongly, then have a bit of a mid-season lull when finals seem certain, before warming up again towards the end of the H&A season. Richmond just have no idea, despite tonight's win.

    As bad as Collingwood have been all year, they're only one win behind us. :huh:

    A reminder that we've achieved nothing yet and need to keep winning.

    If the Demons are any good they will win a Home Game tomorrow...

    There's no sense of invincibility with the top teams this year. GWS look like the form team at the moment.

    • 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.
