Last half papered over the cracks of a shacky first half if i'm being honest.

Clearances a problem all afternoon till the last quarter.

Forward connection a problem all afternoon till the last quarter.

BUT Who cares 5-0 BABY.

    You are correct he doesn't get dropped when he is crap for weeks on end why now?

    He kicks goals

    whilst others kick points

    Given that was played for the Beyond Blue cup, you should all call a Haethorn supporter and check they’re OK.

    And if so, stick it up them

    I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

    Absolutely. Give the opposition match up headaches. Bloody West Coast have played big forwards for years.

    Don’t think it’s fair to label Jones as “cooked”. But next week is huge and we need our best 22, and on today’s performance I’m not so sure he’s in that team. 

    I doubt they’ll drop him, he’s the guest on the couch on Monday night, I get what you’re saying but he won’t be dropped for this game. After 300 I should be “managed”

    Jackson doesn’t count as a tall IMO

    Because he can’t hold his marks. When he fixes that, watch out!

    Oliver had a ripping 3rd and 4th.

    Anb a great final as did Jv.

    Salem is back to his all time best.

    In tge finsl analysis with our poor kicking we actually smashed them.

    Max is playing his best footy ever. Weid next week for Melk.

    Add A May and Coleman capable Brown in 3 weeks and wow.

    I want Jones to play 300 but not next week.

    Welcome back Hibbo

     

    Hibberd lays claim on spot
    Former Bomber Michael Hibberd has been made to earn his place back in the Demons' defence and was brought into the side for his first appearance of the season. The 31-year-old made a seamless return, gathering 21 disposals in a polished display out of the back line. The tough and physical left-footer also had a moment of brilliance in the third term, when his effort to smother and stop a goal deep in defence helped set up a Melbourne goal at the other end of the ground.

    Doubled our 3 quarter time score! What a win. 
    I actually thought Frost played a good game for the first 3 quarters. Then it was great to see an opposition have to suffer through some Frostball

    Frost was a real dog earlier in the game. Trying to play tough. Too bad for him he’s a terrible footballer and I enjoyed immensely that he helped us get a goal. For once his turnovers helped instead of hindered us.

    In a game that was meant to promote mental health, does anybody else reckon that our boys were really cruel and mean by leading the Hawthorn players and fans on for three quarters into thinking that they were some sort of a chance?

    He plays next week

    We've killed former Captains numerous times over last 2 decades 

    The team is obviously happy to take Jonesy to 300 so let's all embrace it!!

    • 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.
