I would love to see one of the Richmond players laid out in the second half. Preferably Lynch

    We’ve kick more goals in other quarters against other teams, but that is far and away our best quarter of the year. 

    - we kept the reigning premiers goalless

    - our defence has been outstanding 

    - we have matched and even bettered their pressure

    - Hibberd’s role on Martin has been sensational 

    - Salem is BOG by a country mile

    That was some unbelievable footy. Even if we lose from here, I've seen enough to be convinced we are legit.

    Jackson is sex.

    And 5 years for Salem was about 5 years too short.

    Pretty sure he’s done it before

    Yes he has.  One of the few to keep him pretty quiet when he did but on that particular night he followed him everywhere starting in the centre.  Tonight he's picking him up when he goes forward with JJ, Clarry and Tracc starting on him in a tag team effort.

    Changed our strategy to doing more handballs.

    Giving them no space.

    Taking out their best players.

    We have a fairly open forward line when we move quickly.

     What will the brain trust think of this quarter?

    Gee Tige's make tbe opposition earn it when we are around the ball, mostly line ball I would say. C'mon umpire,  protect the man infront or with the ball.

    So Dusty can be tagged after all. Brilliant work Hibbo.

    History says He will get off the leash at some stage just hope we are far enough ahead to absorb it.

    Good team play. We are asking the questions of Richmond and they are not finding any answers. 

    Will be interesting to see how each team resets in the second half....

    Richmond's first goalless quarter this season. (and since round 15 last year)

    That fact alone is so heartening. This might really be our time. 

     

    The boys look [censored] off, hungry and like they've had enough of Richmond. GREAT QUARTER. Two more to go.

    • 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.
