I think we should debate this more

Doesn't it bother you that Goodwin and Burgess are more interested in winning an Oscar than winning games of footy?

Think of all the extra players we could have bought with the money spent on this mini-series, including keeping Sam Frost.

Besides, if the club was really serious about getting into the movie industry, why did they de-list JKH, the only player on the list with real acting experience? Just plain dumb!

    We've already got an Oscar.  Of course, some will say he doesn't help us win games of footy.

    I liked episode one more, felt a bit more real. Somehow this latest ep felt a bit more put on (could be way off the mark). The important thing, especially for those players that have since had set backs, is it looks like Burgo's got some really good fitness into them.

    Look forward to hearing more about the Bennell story.

    I thought the mise-en-scene, camera work and dialogue was top notch in episode 2, with the Shrine, Harleys interrogation and cathartic hug with the big guy, even has a bit of comedy from Gus...

    Brilliant stuff, show me any other club putting out such high grade docs!!?!? 
    roll on episode 3! Hoping for them to take it up another notch ?

    Really enjoyed episode 2.

    It's easy to enjoy of course, given the focus is obviously on how good things are during the pre-season. No coincidence that of the weeks and weeks of pep talks Burgess will have given, they've included one which refers to how we're doing better than our 2018/19 pre-season.

    Having said that, it's vitally important, obviously relevant, and incredibly satisfying to see the changes he's brought in and how they are playing out. 

    Like others, I was quietly impressed with Burgess saying "we" were bad in 2019 when he wasn't involved with the club. Also quietly surprised/impressed with Goodwin briefly mentioning we stuffed things up in 2019.

    Gawn's leadership is also obvious from these videos.

    The footage of the coaches talking to HB was what grabbed me the most. Really felt like fly on the wall stuff. Love it.

    Really PD I would hate you to be a Judge if I was being tried.

    Seriously short of Swearing  on a stack of bibles what Harley committed to he has in every way kept his part of the bargain.

    What more could he do ???

    Hope you believed your teenagers as they traditionally answer off handedly and without a lot of conviction.

    Please it is irrelevant how he sounded as his actions are speaking louder than words, as the last 3 months and the Club giving  him the Opportunity.

    Talk about a Doubting Improper Dee!!

     

     

     

     

    I dunno. Depends on my skill set I imagine.

    • 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.
