Good to get the win but to think we beat them by 100 or so points last time, when we had a decent forward line.

    A win by a point, even after a terrible game is so much better than a loss by a point after a fantastic game.

    Can’t wait to watch the 4 quarter replay of this classic. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour and stick hot pins up your taint instead. 

     

    Both Gold Coast’s supporters will be fuming. 

    Even those 2 will not believe the last 2 minutes of the game...

    TERRIBLE GAME.  BUT SO MANY INJURIES.  HIBBERT LONG TERM INJURY   MELKSHAM AND LEWIS BOTH PROBABLY OUT.  ALREADY GOT 3 OR 4 OTHERS PLAYING ON ONE LEG   THEY'LL HAVE TO GIVE THE BOOT STUDDER A GAME SOON.

    a long term injury does that provide us with another pick in the mid season draft?

    For decades, I've seen teams like Hawthorn and the Swans play like rubbish in games like this and then snatch a win, often from us. Now , we're doing it. Good.

    Exactly Demonised.  Seen too many the other way ...it's about time and shows we have some true grit within this group.

    Honestly thought Harmes was just going to kick through it and go for goal. But thank god Macca kicked it off the ground.

    Did Harmes actually mean to hit up TMc, or was it a shank. Not sure.

    Good point. They get the job done with 49 seconds to go

    Well done Marty Hore

    Christ 66-44 inside 50's. Gee we need to get better at this and start converting these entries into goals.  

    We have recorded back to back wins. 

    Anyway tomorrow we can get the paper and read about a win. Better than reading about a loss.

    Which ones?

    There was one at the 12 minute mark of the 2nd quarter, and another one right at the start of the 4th.

    That may well have been the worst game of the year. 

    It can’t be - we won. The St Kilda game was a stinker

    I see improvement in this weeks effort over our previous games this year. Yes it was at times putrid especially the way we went into our forward 50. But we continued to go win the ball back and pound it forward again time and time again. We will be better for the run, if we did not kick so poorly for goal we would have won by 5 goals instead of a point.

    Happy with the win. Better that the westcoast does not see us as serious contenders for next weeks game.

    Great to be on the end of a last second win for a change.

    Harmes looking to be unselfish almost cost us as Tmac dropped the simple mark but thankfully got enough on it to get a score

    I think Harmes just fluffed the kick.

    He may have some concussion concerns.  He belted his head on the ground at one point and then spend almost ten minutes on the bench while Dec rucked.

    Agreed. He kicked the exact same goal last week. He was obviously going for goal, but as with every other kick in this game, it was a miss.

    The GCS have also found some heart in that time.

    • 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.
