I reckon Port will be a discombobulated rabble this coming season, I envisage a 15 goal win in round 1. #Bookmarkit.

    On a confidence scale is that behind #Takeittothebank ?

    Oh dear this is the kind of "getting ahead of ourselves" mentality that has brought this club to its knees over and over again

    Rest assured they will,  like every other team come out firing and will be desperate to get a win in round 1 - it will not be easy  #bookmarkit 

    They have some quality players - if we are not 100% focused and committed a loss is definitely on the cards

    I fail to see how my post influences the performance of the team.

    My point was if the team shares your overconfidence they are very likely going to get belted - simple really 

    I certainly hope they don't because it would be completely ill founded at this stage

    My God underselling your powers, I am shocked

    This is Demonland, there are posters on here who know so much more than the coaches we have, the coaches make sure they read Demonland to ensure they don't let their inadequacies fail the team

    There are always surprise results in rounds 1 & 2.

    I hope the boys just go out and play good hard footy & if they get the chance to put their foot on Port's throat that they do it BIG time!

    There's nothing better than gathering momentum early!


    We will win this by 100 without breaking a sweat.

    Already looking to Round 2.

    I am surprised that the coaches and selection committees have not yet asked my opinion.  Or opinions they change regularly! 

    Perhaps I should call them to make sure they have my phone number.....

     

    not sure.            Go Dees

    If my memory isn't completely stuffed I believe I envisaged a similar result against the same opponent in the first round some seasons back. Virtually the opposite thing happened. Let's not hatchet our Counts before they turn chicken.

    I don’t think Port are that bad. They will be thereabouts for the 8. We will need to bring our A game.

    Trac to kick 6 and we'll win by 8 goals. 

     

     

    Any word on Charlie Dixon’s recovery from a broken leg?

    Wines, Polec, Wingard and maybe Dixon would be handy outs from the side that beat us last year.

    Mind you they’ll include Hartlett and Lycett into the side.

    Round 1 had a pattern of delivering some of the most miserable moments during our most miserable period, so I'm still a little wary of it.

    But... on the one hand I'm much more confident in our team's ability, and on the other hand I'm much more confident that our team has the resilience to carry on with a strong season even if we do stuff up round 1.

    It is a bit like, I'm looking forward to round one as a big deal, but only because it is the start of the season, not because I feel like it is any particularly crucial, tone-setting game.

    Ninety to hundred would pay about 33/1 i reckon. Well worth a half pi33ed bet with the mates.

    Watts after an at times distracting and turbulent off season will be coming in really hot, frothing one might say, eyes rolling back in his head looking to rack up and power Port into a 10 goal drubbing.

    @MurDoc516

    I will buy you a crayfish lunch (or any lunch of your choice and any amount of drinks of your choice) if Petracca kicks 6 goals in a game in his entire career...you can make me accountable anytime if it happens (I presume I'll be celebrating as I will be stoked for the boy)....

    Edited by Engorged Onion

    First hit out for the season.. both teams would need to iron out some wrinkles, and get used to a new set of rules if anything - I hope I can get down for Rd 1! But, Port do have a team of champions right?

    • 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.
