    I was listening to it and  and spewed with Coll/wood being in front by 7 odd goals something like that at half time.

    I remember listening to the radio and they were calling it over Carlton cannot possibly win.  seems like yesterday.

    Yes it’s great to hear the different calls

    I had only heard Ch7 up until today

    Thanks for that SWYL. Has got to be the greatest Plan B performance by any coach, ever. Barassi was a genius.

    i wonder what Goodwin would have done at half time if he were in Barassi’s shoes?

    tbh it would be a lot harder today, so many tactics have been used and abused since 1970, to play on was radical!

    But Goodwin certainly has a lot of work to do on his Matchday Coaching

    He seems to work better from the Bench.

    Stared thoughtfully out of the coaches box rubbing his chin....and did nothing.

    Yay, another unrelated thread turns into Goodwin bashing.

    I blame the pandemic on Goodwin, he had no plan P

    Great get, Sir WYL, thanks for sharing. Goodwin-Bashing shall hereafter be referred to as a 'Fan-Demic'. Participants in such activity should immediately be tested... or at least seek medical advice!

    • 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.
