Hodge warns teammates not to believe the hype.

"If that happens,  I'm happy with that,  because that means we've taken the next step up."

    Why didn't you do a global word replace,  Brisbane<-Melbourne, Hodge<-Lewis, Fages<-Goody, Neale<-May, Lyons<-KK...

    I’m happy the hype has shifted towards team performance and away from our next draft pick,

    Footy is footy. It will talk for itself.

    Expectations ? Well, surely they're high and not without merit.

    Personally...no flag this year or next....I'd be devastated!!! ?????

    In reality... disappointed. It's about as palpable as ever

    Go Dees

    Perhaps you are not familiar with some of DV8's finer work...

    For more information, see his thread on Don Pyke's death stare and how he could alleviate his stress by, and I paraphrase here, 'smoking a few cones'.

    You are going to be disappointed this year bb. However 2020 is when we will take the competition by the scruff of the neck and shake lose a flag.

    • 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.
