Umpires?  3 words?  FFS.  We just want consistency.  The sling tackle on Hunt needs to be looked at by the MRO.  No free, but very dangerous.  JH was lucky not to be concussed.

The umpiring around tackling all weekend was all over the place. Ratten made a few comments after the game on Friday and he was spot on, there were so many times Cats players were caught and just dropped the ball and called play on.

    He is FAR more versatile.

    Applies more pressure, moves up and down the ground more/better, get's himself in more contests, is better under his knee's. 

    The acquisition of BB after 2019 would've been a knee jerk reaction, but would've made sense.

    The acquisition of BB after 2020 just didn't make any sense. 

    Really Ham and you were happy with our forward  line performance  2020?

    What we have got is a list that covers nearly every base for all conditions.

    We may need any one of our IMO 30/32 AFL standard players to use this year at any stage in the next potential 17 games.

    Dont underestimate any player in this group for our premiership tilt !! 

    Remember BBB was protected a lot at Marvel and will take a bit longer to adapt to the MCG conditions particularly on a rainy and / or windy day!

    • 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.
