Must have a good coach if we can still win when we are as terrible as the matchday thread would suggest.

    Demonland logic:

    Round 1 2020: 26 point loss in Perth = season over, we are terrible

    Round 1 2021: 22 point win at the G = season over, we are still terrible.

     

    Not perfect, but plenty of positives.

    Pretty much what I expected. An uninspiring win against a severely undermanned Freo. May and Lever will keep us in many contests this year.

    A Round 1 win is welcome but none of the other teams will be shaking in their boots watching that performance.

    Steven May and Jake Lever were incredible really. As good as I've ever seen from a defensive duo in our colours.

    Won that purely on talent rather than workrate.

    Clearances/stoppages and defensive running by mids still a massive issue.

    Lot to like about our next generation though, thought Jordon was great, Sparrow cracked in hard all day, Kozzy was a sparkplug, and Rivers and Jackson showed snippets.

    Lever sensational, as was his partner May. Great to see TMac find a patch of form too.

    ANB and Spargs leading the way for inside 50 delivery, but need their team mates to take notice.

    A front-running win.

    Got the job done. Will benefit from Viney, Weid, Ben Brown etc being back. Might expect Brayshaw to improve in the coming weeks given his impacted preseason.

    Spargo was good to see today. Jordon very solid debut.

    Lever has improved out of site. I was his biggest critic but he's really come on

    I think we’ll improve. The skills were poor but the intent was good. 
     

    Concerned about clearance after watching the Dogs and now Freo smashing us. Once a strength.....

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
