Comprehension isn't jnr's strong suit.

Yes, I worked that out last week when I described the game as a gripping contest that we were never really in, and he highlighted the first bit and called me Pollyanna. Another case of being unable to add two sentences together to deduce context. Wish he’d just stop replying to me tbh.

    Extraordinarily poor bench. Only Baker and perhaps Lockhart deserve to be there. 

    Corey Wagner has played 5 games and been dropped 3 times, Smith has played six games and been dropped / or injured 3 times. Josh Wagner at least has only been dropped twice in 10 games, but was lucky to get a few of those. I can't understand what we hope to achieve by playing any of these guys.

    As much as I want the team to play well and pick up some wins over the last six weeks, I fear that only a couple of massive losses on the way home will finally stir Goodwin from his slumber.

    Just out of interest, what were you expecting?

    Club web article says the team will fly up on Saturday.  Isn't that a bit odd? 

    Doesn't leave much time for training on the ground and fulfilling our community obligations.

    They have done this previous years, injured players (Garlett one this year) come up mid week and fulfill our community work, this is normal

    Best 22

    JETTA. MAY. LEVER

    SALEM. FROST. HIBBERD

    BRAYSHAW. VINEY. FRITSCH  

    PETRACCA. TMCD.  ANB

    MELKSHAM  WEID  HANNAN

    GAWN  HARMES OLIVER

    PREUSS  LEWIS  NJONES HUNT

    (Jsmith Vandenburg would be considered in best 22 if they ever get fit)

    Tomorrows team has 18/22 so we are getting back.  

    Tomorrow has Petty Lockhart cwagner jWagner rather than Tmcd Melksham both injured and Weid and Hannan really out of form. Probably harsh on Hannan as he had no preseason.  

    Think we'll put up a good fight tomorrow..

    Not saying you're wrong or anything, but what makes you think so? We seemingly have nothing to play for. Some would say 'pride' I guess, but we don't have a great history of that truly motivating us.

    Actually that sounds about right, I knew something happened. Certainly hope the players have been made aware of that during the week.

    The player who mouthed off when coming to the bench was Cameron in the GWS game.

    Quite possibly yes. The pressure is off. 

    The players can be champions again and then get to Bali early...

    • 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.
