Wow. 

My Uncle died last week. He was a massive Tiger man. 

This game will be hard to follow

R.I.P. Uncle Grant

Go Demons....

    Pretty impressed with our start, although I'd wager it may drop off with the heat factor, but we are on top in the midfield and we are generally taking our chances.  

     

    Seen enough to know 666 rule will see us kick quote a few cricket scores this year.

    Tom Sparrow and Keilty 0 mins that quarter,... interesting

    I am calling it early. Preuss is not really any good.

    I thought Preuss was dominant in the ruck

     

    good on field leadership by clarry that quarter when tigers were coming hard. he took the mark at CHB and could have easily played on but slowed play down instead. passes to angus, he kicks long down the line, reset again then bang, bang, 2 goals for us in 2 minutes.

    They'll get a run in the second half I'd say, with a couple of our senior players getting a rest.

    Commentator just said both sides have their main players in it......uhhhh

    We're missing VDB, Gawn, Viney, Hibberd, Jetta, Lever, May, Jones, Lewis, Melksham and Hannan (i count at least 9 of our best 22).

    Tiges are missing Grigg, Castagna, Lynch and Caddy from their best 22.

    A few missing from Tiges, a lot from our side, commentator clearly has NFI

    Not unhappy with that. Looked clean which is a great sign in JLT, especially in close.

    Now no injuries and no blow out loss and I'll be happy.

    Good to be posting on DL again after the summer hiatus :)

    Fair indication of our midfield depth with plenty out but we have an onball trio of Brayshaw Oliver and Harmes...

    Anybody know how to get rid of the stats screen on my tablet, and have the video full screen?

     

    You watching using AFL app? That's the way it is now. They don't give you the full screen

    Trac is a much better shot on the run. 

    He's like Robert Redford as The Sundance Kid

    Good quarter. It is a pity the commentators talk too much rubbish.

    He's no Max, but he'll quickly become a very handy addition to our side.  If he can hold his own up forward then he can feast on the oppositions second ruckman when he gives Max a rest.

    Most out there from our backline. Which is a bit what we're seeing - rest of the field looks pretty solid, backs not so much.

    Oliver is Oliver, but with the stunning emergence of Harmes and re-emergence of Gus, our midfield bats very deep.

    Pruess’s ruck timing is way off, needs to fix it fast to get that second ruck position.

    Spot on, bing.  Many of their scores came from a turnover or missed spoils.  That won't happen nearly as much with the first choice defence in there.

    Annoying, at least I don't get the Iphone view anymore, and at least I watching the game, not whinging just asking

     

    Hoping Trac can work on his set shots. He’s great otherwise and could be such a damaging player for us this year.

    We look to have good depth through the midfield. Preuss has been fairly poor though. Opposition ruckman have just been taking it out of the ruck against him. Harmes and Brayshaw both look like continuing on from last year and dominating again.

    • 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.
