greatest game of  the year so far. glad swannies got the chocolates. gives us better chance of getting in the 8 which is so tight at the moment 

Beating Carlscum by 109 pts is the game of the year.

    I'm less concerned about top 4 now. We had that chance and blew it. Far more concerned about finals itself, which that loss goes some way to helping. 

    Besides, it's just so, so good to see Norf lose. Scott is a massive [censored].

     Agreed.

    At any rate, Collingwood, Port and Sydney all have tough runs home (Port's gets even tougher if they somehow can't beat Fremantle today):

    1. Collingwood - North, Richmond, Sydney (away), Brisbane, Port, Fremantle (away)
    2. Port - GWS, Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (away), Essendon
    3. Sydney - GC, Essendon (away), Collingwood, us (away), GWS (away), Hawthorn

    Of course, our run home is just as hard, but our destiny remains in our hands. And you never know, with those three sides having runs home like that, if we can outperform what we all think we're going to achieve (i.e. we get past 13 wins), we could go up on the ladder (I doubt it, personally).

    I assume there will be some inevitable posts re: 'how did we lose to port' - similarly those who thought the first half against the dogs were awful. 

    To me - this game/ the cats loss, richmonds loss, hawthorn etc -  shows how close the competition is, and how mere percentages 'off your game' or at times 'luck' means you win, or get smashed... 

    It's elite sport, it's tough and the margins are always small... 

    AND - I really like what Roos, Goodwin and PJ et al, are building towards...and it may not be 2018...

    ahhh, can't please some  :)

    week to week - small things change for the individuals, the coaches, the systems and it becomes cumulative. how else can we account for such massive discrepancies in form lines between what are seemingly teams who are so far apart... bris/hawth, melbs/saints etc etc

    Must be both Freo and us playing in Darwin last weekend!  ?

    We both seem to have defied the script by bouncing back instead of losing due to fatigue and insufficient recovery time!

    Hope shockers win. Port are pretenders who could only beat us coz of umpires.

    Wow dockers, what a weekend. Watts’ one handed tackles still exist. Softest front runner of the last 10 years

    • 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.
