Are the Dees September 2018 better than the Tiges and Bulldogs circa 2017 and 2016?

In my view they are, as Champion Data has been saying all year, playing a superior brand of football. Their best l have no doubt is surpases all comers, the question we all have is can they deliver on the day?

 I have been madly following this football club for 50 years, and for the first time in my living memory before a big game l have an innerving calmness about the result here. Gone are the nightmares they will fall into a hole. Their brilliance is just so good, that somehow or other you feel they will get it done. It is wonderful...

Go you mighty Dees!

    Better overall team than the Bulldogs ... yes... but they had a glorious month... we may not.

    Richmond...last year... probably a bit below... Their last 5-6 weeks of the home and away season was seriously impressive which mean they finished top 4... we did not. On the other hand Richmond are probably above us by around the same margin that Adelaide were better than Richmond last year.

    Who knows what the next three weeks will bring. I am expecting a win tonight but after that ?????

    Were the sides the doggies and the tigers faced better than the ones we might face?

    You'll get your answer in 3 weeks at the latest or tonight at the earliest.

    Let's all settle down a bit. All things considered, we are still a club that has made one set of finals in 12 years and has won an elimination final. 

    This talk of us being 'a power' or being better than the Tiges or Doggies can only be entertained if we win the flag. 

    If we don't then we are just one of 17 other teams who didn't salute.

    Technically, at the end of today we might have won two finals.

    The hype on Demonland this week is ridiculous. Even from normally rational posters.

    The doggies last four victories to secure that flag were frankly outstanding. Tough opposition, interstate games. They fully deserved what they achieved

    Simple, IF we beat the Hawks tonight and then beat  WCE in WA   Assuming Richmond make the GF, then we will test the theory.

    Too soon to say, wouldn't you thing so?  Lets get through Hawthorn firstly and mostly.

    Richmond and the Dogs had played finals the previous years before they won it.
    I think we're about as good as they were the years before they won.
    We still have too many who lack composure and have skill errors during the big games.
    Like they did.
    But anyhoo ...... Lets kill these forken Dawks.

    If we don't win tonight we're barely better than Geelong circa 2018

    The whole 'fairytale' thing gives me the irrits. It makes it sound like it is rigged for us to win. I wouldn't complain if we do, but I just find it annoying.

    • 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.
