He’s an average player at best, his strength is one on one contests otherwise he’s terrible.Ā 

On The Couch ripped Liam Jones apart the other night. Great one on one defensively but if he refuses to adhere to the structure again this week we will walk goals in.

Yea lol that is the one I just found. I love his story as he was just derided during g his dogs stint and he was able to turn into an ok defender with moments of brilliance.Ā

Yep, saw him lots of times just trying to get a run at the ball and just being scragged.

He did alright last week and he'll learn to beat those tags. He's just too goodĀ 

If they tag Kossy too hard it mess Spargo should have a better Ā game, he might also step into Kossys taggerĀ 

hard player hard tackler not very tall

I like the way he plays. Both of em !

The line with the bookies is instructive. +24.5 Carlton 1.90.

$3.00 MFC at -38.5

$7 for -60.5....

$4 for -47.5

Can you explain to me in simple terms what this means ??Ā

I was there last week AF, Ā but I can’t see the Blues bringing 4 QTEQ of heat.

That said, I remember 2016-2017 when we should have belted them but didn’t.

If the line is MFC -38.5 paying $3 it means Melbourne has to win by at least 39 points for you to win the bet and it will pay 3-1 odds (so you win $3 for every dollar you bet)

If Carlton is +24.5 and paying $1.90 it means for you to win your bet Carlton has to either win or lose by 24 points or less and your payout is $1.90 for every dollar you bet

nah - we've forgotten how to lose

Ā Peter ā€œJohnnoā€ Johnson mad bluebagger has put $100 on the blues. Reckons the upset is on and put his cash in. Ā Still arrogant even after their crap run over the past few years. Ā Let’s rub it in their snug faces. Go DeesĀ

Woweee- why does this [censored] matter?

Carlton 2021 is Melbourne 2016. A good average team. We beat a 1st placed Hawthorn in 2016 deep into the season.Ā Ā 

We have had three bruising encounters and Carlton can look quite good when they're switched on. They lack defensive awareness as a team but they're no easy beats and will be going for blood after folding against the Dogs. Lots of pressure and talk on them this week.

I think we are much better than them but anything can happen. Tbh wouldn't be surprised if we lose this week.Ā

My concern is from about 2004.
Eyeing off top4 and lost toĀ them twice during the season.
They were bottom of the ladder but we had no answer forĀ Fevola.

We've got a mounting injury list.
Tomlinson, Viney, Jackson out and not sure what sort of shape Petracca's in after his corky.
But they have their concerns with Cripps and if were as good as we think we should roll 'em regardless.
But I've never been one to go counting the chooks.
Been following this club too long for that.

**** me I’d managed to block that from myĀ memories. I absolutely remember watching us drop those matches and recalling how it burned our top 4 hopes.Ā

If only I could have.
That game and the following ones to the end of the season disgusted me at the time.
I think in the second game rd18 or so a win against bottom side Carlton would have given us top spot and a guaranteed top4.
Then we spudded up, lost the remainder of games, fell into the finals and got booted the 1st week.
It was everything I hated about the club at the time.
We were so up and down.
It was like as soon as theyĀ did enough toĀ guaranteeĀ a finals spotĀ they got lazy and took their foot off the accelerator.

Slight correction. I believe the year you are referring to is 2006.

We actually rolled them at the G by 100 in our first fixture. We then played them at Princes Park with our chances to go top 4 still very much real.

Despite them being bog ordinary and made up of also rans from other clubs, we proceeded to poo the bed and lose by 5 goals.

Nah, you are right about the 1st 100pt win andĀ thatĀ was 2004.

And the year I am referring to was 2006
Both Carlton games played at telstra.
Both loses when they were wooden spooners.
The year we beat the Aints in the Elim.
Again stunk it up in the latter part of the season though.

My memory obviously muddled with all the frustration.
There was so much of it.
But I was at the second game late in the seasonĀ at 'Telstra' leaving disgusted.Ā

It was round 1 2006 that I left disgusted. Carlton won 3 games for the season, 2 of them were against us! It cost us top 4.

We also lost to them late in 2004 at Princes Park after topping the ladder in round 18 against Hawthorn. I was working that day and remember being in utter shock when I checked the scores.

I was chatting to a couple of blues supporting mates and i think there is seriously a CFCSS situation going on. one expects them to lose by plenty, the other things they'll dominate the game, have all the running and choke in the last 10 minutes and lose.Ā 

i said i was fine with either, but would like to win by a bit as last week was a bit hectic.Ā 

they both can't stand teague and think the club is covering up a pretty significant injury to CrippsĀ

    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.
