I love happy post-win Demonland, a LOT more than post-loss Demonland, but this is classic.

We lose, and it's "shuffling deck chairs", terrible depth, wasting draft picks, no future, etc.

We win, and our depth is amazing and our bottom 6 incredible.

Tomlinson could win a Brownlow and you wouldn't be entirely convinced by him.

His first two games this year have exceeded anything for which you have given him credit.

I'm not going to change my opinion on him after he played well on Alex Peace for a half/no one against Freo and McKernan against St Kilda.

He was well and truly beaten in preseason against good sides and opponents and I'll wait to see more. I've lifted my opinion of him but 2 games is not enough to be fully convinced.

I agree with the first part of your post and I'm still not convinced by a number of players nor am I all that impressed by those outside the best 22. Hibbo, Melk, Petty and some kids is about it as far as I can see.

    Our bottom six are largely young and improving. This club is poised for sustained success. Guys like Jordan, Sparrow, Kozzie, Jackson, Chandler, Bedford, Spargo, Baker are all young and starting to step up and help drive this club. That’s what’s exciting me this year. 
    Hibberd, Melksham and co are going to have to earn their spots which is great

    It's stuck behind a paywall and i haven't read it but there was an article yesterday on the HS called "Goodwin’s band of brothers not easybeats most thought" which is about exciting youngsters and some axed players producing the goods early in 2021 (McDonald, Jetta, ANB, Hunt, Tomlinson).

    Reasonably happy with our bottom 6 given we're 2-0 and dealing with some injuries etc.

    • 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.
