It's the 'bomb it long and play like its the dying seconds' tactic expanded to a quarter from Richmond.

    This is more about Richmond's inability than it is Geelong.

    I enjoyed watching another club implode in the last quater and lose a game you just shouldn't have. The fact Reiwoldt dropped the mark in the last two seconds is even better.

    Having watched that game, we should have a truly good chance of taking Geelong down again.

    Their coach took 3/4 of the game to realise kicking long to a forward line of Hawkins and not much else wasn't working.

    Bartel is picking up superannuation and simply shouldn't be on the field.

    If it weren't for Dangerfield and Selwood, they would be bottom half of the ladder.

    Would expect every MFC coach (especially Jennings) was watching and analysing that match on the off chance we beat Carlton next week and North lose to Sydney. Geelong aren't the invincible superheroes they think they are -- if Richmond can make them vulnerable, so can we.

    But next week remains our hurdle. Too often we've lost the easy ones because we're focused on other things -- can't make that mistake this week. We have to treat every week as an elimination final now.

    If those at Tigerland were realistic folk then they would look at themselves and feel sorry for the sport!

    Frighteningly BBO, I did. Although how much of it was anger at Geelong for winning I don't know. Maybe if a team becomes perennial losers we stop hating them? I know I don't hate Carlton as much as I did.

    Exactly my thoughts as I watched the game.

    What?!?!?

    Get a hold of yourself man.

    Next thing you'll be feeling sorry for certain other Vic clubs currently down the wrong end of the ladder.

    Just imagine the insufferable entitlement that will exude from them if they make their way back up the ladder. The attitude that they are in their rightful place and deserve to be looking down on the rest of us.

    Feel better now?

    How do you feel about Essendon getting pick 1, just out of interest?

    Absolute disgrace. They still haven't fessed up or produced any paperwork

    • 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.
