Sounds very NFL.

There is an obvious correlation but if the NFL never had any set plays or we didn't know about it the playbook for our sport would be needed anyway

Stands to reason mentality. 

Ice hockey has a lot of set plays as well ... same as soccer,  League & Union.

I’m not keen on the team selections. But shall reserve my judgements until post game. 
 

Confidence is not high here.

Nice day for footy, I take it there’s a decent crowd gathering at the ‘G? 

The seagulls are not social distancing. Selfish bastards.

    And if we dominate from the stoppages you'd like to think that just by the pure numbers involved,  we'd have enough clean and crisp clearances to turn that into an advantage

    In 2018 we did that to a certain degree but in 2019 our clearances were often without any purpose whilst being delivered to a dysfuntional forward line

    So where does the braintrust exist ...amongst the personnel involved or the 2 blokes (Plapp & Matthews) charged with organising our midfield and stoppages work? 


    A few questions will be answered today. Are we still the same side that lost  last round 2017 or can we emulate 2018? Does Goodwin have a plan B ?

    Have we put someone else on the front now or just moved Zurich?

    Hmm... Somebody mentioned Collingwood had their foj sponsor in that spot too...

    Reckon the AFL have allowed that spot on the jumper for more sponsorship revenue

    What's the reasoning there?

    Geelong's got Ford in that same sport.

    Zurich still on the front for us.

    Will certainly be watching how we deliver the ball into our forward 50. We have gone with a smallish forward setup so we better not be bombing long to the square!

    Huge experience advantage for Geelong  and we have a very young side.

    Will make it even more sweet when we beat them.

    Looks like Jayden Hunts long sleeve top does not have the sponsor on the back.

    Must have been done pretty quickly

    Really???

    mmmm, sense of humour switch on zero today.

    I can understand, we’re just visiting, others own the site and can get sued but geez that was gold.

    Goodwin in the interview on Channel 7 just now said we need to win the stoppages, get it in our forward half and keep it there.

    Our 2018 mindset remains.

    Seems like we’ve been the younger side in pretty much every games since 2008...

    God damn, please tell me that isn’t the norm? Going to have tops like the bloody NRL where you can’t see the top due to all the stupid sponsors plastered all over it.

    The blue rectangle over the red is putrid.

    • 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.
