Top work joeboy.

I really enjoy this thread and appreciate your effort to keep up the tradition of posting it after every game.  After our recent games i wouldn't be able to do it! But even when we play ok i find it hard to be analytical or objective straight after a game. So kudos

I don't always agree with all of your assessments (which is part of what i enjoy abouyt the trads) but prety muchg agree with all of them this week.

That said the two i have quoted above are somewhat open to interpretation.

Did Viney demonstrate best practice bullocking (sic) or was he just bullocking, at best?

Did the the class of Oliver rise, as it must or is your assessment that his class must rise?

  • 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.
