I’m really looking forward to Charlie Spargo continually providing an option as a lead up forward and our players kicking it long down the line to him, in the hope that at a whopping 5’6” he will pluck one against his 6 foot opponent. It’s one of Goodwin’s masterstrokes.

I am also looking forward to see how many quarters ANB will keep his mouth continuously open for. I swear to God, after football is done, he should get a job as one of those clowns tht you put the ping pong ball in the mouth of at Moomba. 

Almost knocked over my cheese platter with that ANB commentry. ?

    I agree Deever. Weids is at best a no.2. He doesn’t have the presence to lead the line.

    We need to bring in a key forward. It’s our no.1 need. If Hogan is gettable I’d bring him back. Agree options are limited.

    I’d worry if we leave Jackson in the forward line with an under-performing Weids alone. He needs to be taking the 3rd best defender. Allow him time to develop. Otherwise he’ll be added to the list of players whose development has been mismanaged by the club.

    Just looked at our goal kicking list for 2018.

    Its pretty damn good with tmac and hogan kicking around 40 each.

    Melk...and Hannan chip in with quite a few( much more than this years average)

    Garlett was handy as was anb believe it or not

    Fritta and Trac on par.

    Our forwards just havent been able to kick many this year.

    Possibly. Or there's only so much mileage you can get out of Ed Langdon and Arnott's Shapes.

    Nice one PF. The town at the tip of that big point a little to the right of Speyside is where I grew up.

    IMO, play like we did pre-Cairns, we win. Play like we did in Cairns, we will get belted.

    No one should be checked out. A win tonight puts us in the 8 (if only for a night).

    That is to protect Goodwin - there is no other reason. The media will wish to expose insights into our thoughts (the spectators and supporters) on his coaching record and its transference to onfield success and skilsets.

    Very funny

    I think we'll win, but (if we do) expect another ugly hard fought game.?

    Hmmmm... sitting here in my abode in Europe with a raging hangover from last night. I thought it might be amusing to drink large quantities of grape juice from my latest vineyard find. 
     

    a small place in the Rhône valley to the north of Avignon called Domaine Rouge Bleu. They produce a Grenache called Lunatique. Seriously, how could I not consume vast amounts?

    It's definitely not dead rubbery Andy and this is what I need to keep telling myself to pull myself out of the rut and snap out of it.

    Also dead rubbery was the wrong term probably should have said lame duck game, for us.

    How is it a lame duck game though? There's plenty to play for and we can still technically make it.

    Why am I watching this? It’s only going to [censored] me off. Again.

    Just to reiterate, I did have the words "I know it isn't" in my original post.

    I wasn't actually making a debatable point either I was saying what it felt like for me. I'm not going to get into debates over what it feels like everyone else. Sorry but can't be stuffed.

    Yes i am having similar pre game issues with this one P-man.  We are extremely hard to watch and any enjoyment is too often short lived

    I have been asking myself the same question since 1966, once I was old enough to go to game by myself.  Pity i missed watching from 55-64,   bummer...

    cannot see myself changing now !   Go Dees

    beautiful part of the world Rab. A friend of mine grew up in Nairn. Mustn’t be too far from where you grew up?

      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.
