Port's percentage is now better than North's. They're just as much a finals chance as the Saints if they beat us tonight (which hopefully doesn't happen!)

    North getting belted. If we can get up tonight we move one step closer. I thought finals this year was 0% chance to happen a few weeks back, but who knows now! KEEP FIGHTING DEES!

    It's got be driving the boys now. As slim as it is.

    Geez, if this ends up a 15-20 goal flogging, our percentage will nearly be on par with Norf's.

    Dammit. North have come back and got back to under 4 goals at half time. They were 8 goals down at quarter time. Hawks got a few injuries too.

    North have thumped the Hawks since quarter time. 9 goals to 2 in the last 1.5 quarters. Hawks lead down to two goals. Looks like Norths percentage won't drop off far, if at all if they continue on to win. Very disappointing to watch them come back here!

    Sh*t. Didn't realize Saints were a game clear of us and have Richmond and Brisbane. Makes it hard for us to get there... The losses to Essendon and St Kilda come back to bite us. If we'd won any of those 3 winnable games we'd probably be playing finals this year.

    Their percentage is so bad it's not a factor and Sydney should beat them tonight.

    Their percentage is so bad however.

    A lot of the peanuts in the media have overlooked that 3 teams outside the 8 can still make it. Even Derwayne said the best we can finish this year is 9th about twenty times in last week's game. Clueless moron.

    I'm sure that he was basing that on the fact he was convinced we'd lose.

    Yes it's a foreign concept to him but the Dees aren't the rabble of 2013 nowadays.

    You'd think one of their 'stats' people would have corrected him.  And given the media's keenness to make things sound exciting, you'd think they'd carry on about the 3 possible alternatives to North.  Very odd.

    The lack of building up the three games today by the media has been a huge oversight.

    • 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.
