    Another 4 qtr game!? What's happened? It's almost like we've worked out that it's easier to play for the whole game! You almost don't need a gameplan haha (almost).

    Trac and Maxxy were magnificent. A+++

    Jackson, awesome stuff - so much potential. The extra height around the ground is precious.

    Weid did exactly what we want from him. More, please! 

    It's crazy how our forwards can kick goals when the ball is actually delivered to them!? 

    Better, so much better. Always a heartwarming feeling to pump the Hawks. The lions will be a real test of where we're at. Would be great to continue this upward trend.

    Go Dees, finally something to be pleased with amidst all the other mess.

    So good to see the team put in a performance that we can’t really complain about. Sure, there was some poor play, but it didn’t define the game. Keep up this kind of footy and the future looks bright.

    Petracca has developed TIME, he has soo much time

    In the last quarter I saw three Hawthorn players too scared to go near him when he kicked that ball.

    Don't know if we beat much today but a 7 goal win is a 7 goal win. Midfield group was huge. Pressure - especially forward 50 was huge. Only negatives - Brayshaw and VandenBerg should be designated non-kickers

    A Dees win and a Carlton loss after the siren - couldn't be happier!

    Blues losing was actually really good for us. Port are a lock for finals. Blues competing with us for a spot.

    Can someone shut down that weightman is better than kozzy thread ASAP.

    Everytime kossy gets his hands on the ball i wet myself. He offers so much more than weightman, i'm really glad we picked him up. 

    The great legacy of the 36 lives on!!!

    Positives everywhere, especially in the middle of the ground where we were dominant.

    But for the first time in a long time, we look dangerous in the forward 50. Owed in no small part to Weideman flying at everything and bringing the ball to ground with Pickett looking dangerous whenever he gets within 10 metres of the drop of the ball. Jackson is going to be a ten year plus player. And a bloke called Harley Bennell is looking like a god send.

    Many on here have been calling out forever to fix up the forwardline. On today’s evidence we have taken big strides towards doing just that.

    Reward for effort. Of which there was bucketloads.

    We’re back baby.

    Its honestly mystifying that it took until last week for the coaches to play Weideman. Our structure looks so much better with him crashing packs and clunking marks. Great to see him get on the end of a few goals. Probably should've finished with five. 

    Also....Luke Jackson: 14 touches, three marks (two contested), three tackles and a goal in just his second game. Early days, but Action Jackson looks super impressive.

    Weid has captured some 2018 year form.   Jackson has the goods and is going to be a fine player for us.

    Just wanted to highlight this - while he will have some quiet games over the coming weeks, I think we got a real glimpse today of why we drafted Jackson at three.  He did it all - good skills, took some key marks, and even laid some really important tackles.  He has got plenty of strings in his bow and I'm excited to see him develop.

    Brilliant team effort. The pressure in the first half was off the chart i thought. A quarter of our total tackle count came inside our forward 50. 

    We head to the sunshine state with some confidence now. Can’t wait for next week, Weid building nicely and a date with Andrews ( best full back imo) awaits.

    Really pleased with OMac and Weed - both had question marks against them but have been great.

    Omac is actually a really dependable kick. He’s starting to grow on me.

    Great win, so many good signs.

    Hope those of you still in Vic (assuming most) enjoyed it.

    Cant wait to get to the game at Metricon next week.

    • 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.
