Well thats's one of the three we needed.

Way off a given that we can find the other two.

Need to play smart against GCS. Percentage is irrelevant (we are miles in front of everyone else) so a nice regulation 30 point win would be nice. Get a good break in Q1 and then just close out the game

    Just did a ladder predictor and we can still make top 4 if we only lose 1 of the remaining providing some results go our way. Could be either Rich v Melb week one or maybe Melb v Ess/Syd (IF we make it)

    I have us losing to GC next week, followed by a win over Sydney, loss to WCE and then losing to GWS in a thriller to miss the finals. Werd up?

    thank you Chookrat for your optimistic prediction.

    Sadly we all know it could well turn out to be true ?

    If that’s the case we should request the final to be played in Alice Springs. Carlton have won more games than Richmond interstate this season.

    Why would you have us losing to West Coast? North today should that they are not any better than us! At least we have North’s measure in Tassie!?

    West Coast were without Shuey and Kennedy today, I'm not sure how long they're out for? But they make a big difference to the way they play.

    Shuey should be back next week, Kennedy will miss another week

    None of the last 4 games should hold any fears for us.  We know we can match it with anyone, and if we continue to play at the level we have been, then there is absolutely no reason why we can't go extremely close to winning all of the last 4 games.

    did a ladder predictor just before, had us win all 4 games and somehow we finished 2nd.....

    Worst possible matchup given our recent form.  Maybe we should tank a game for 4th /s ?

    Hawks with a huge % boost today, and the Cats have two % booster games in Rounds 22 and 23 at home as the AFL continues to gift them a charity draw.

    Our percentage is not looking like our saviour just yet...  we must annihilate the Suns to give us more breathing space.

    We should pound the Suns into oblivion: young injury weakened team who can't wait for the season to end vs a hungry team with this group's first chance for finals....should be a no-contest

    we will have everyone except Lever by the time finals come around - if you dare to dream think about the Doggies 16 when they had been putrid but got all their players back to start the finals - there will be the week off as well so we should be cherry ripe for first week if we make it

    If we can pull off all four we will play Richmond even 3 wins we will probably play them as well. I would love to have a crack we have the cattle to trouble them and could catch them off guard. Suddenly if you are in a home prelim anything is possible

    I seriously think people like you should be banned from this site. Anyone talking about finals should eat their words. Apparently, last season wasn't a big enough example of people getting ahead of themselves. i still don't think we make finals, and that will stay that way until we actually make finals.

    • 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.
