 Bailey Smith - has even run water for junior matches. 

Problem is he can only get water to one kid - :pj:coz he only runs one way!

    5 mins to go in the 3rd quarter replay. Kozzie stiff not to get a high tackle, Harmes equally stiff just prior. Also, I wouldn’t have paid the mark to JJ over Bowey, Bont clearly touches the ball first.

    For another enjoyable way to watch the game in slices i highly recommend checking out AFL StatsPro

    Pro tip - choose extended play option (as opposed to highlights) for the full experience.

    Do you reckon this thread will get more pages than a Jack Watts or Tomy Scully thread?

    By the way I know we won the flag, but I get just as excited watching our prelim especially Maxy's 3rd quarter blitz.

    I’ve watched so much footy over the last three weeks - GF, PF, R23, but I just realized I haven’t watched a second of the Qualifying Final back! I must get around to that- it’s worth it, right?

    I hope I'll be coming back to this thread in 57 years. It will be the equivalent of smoke signals by then, but who cares.

    Also, I don't think I've actually got over the R23 comeback and ending yet. That was a lot to take in. A bit's happened since then that's stopped me from fully processing it!

    You’re clearly younger than most. I seriously doubt I’d be here in 57 years

    I saw this too! A two-hour training session. And only 23 days after winning a Premiership. A PREMIERSHIP!!! Still not quite used to that yet. 😁

    And Petty also was nearly strangled and no free kick. But basically, I thought umpires were OK.

    And JJ clearly put his hands on Bowey’s shoulders. Watch Bowey… he’s expecting to get a free kick.

    Dear all… now that I’ve watched all of the Demons’ finals games multiple times (11 for the GF alone), I am very proud that the boys never resorted to rough play or arrogant grand-standing.  What an amazing bunch of young men we have! If only one of them could have married one of my three intelligent and beautiful daughters.

    There was clearly a second push whereas BBB's mark from Trac in the third, his hands touched the defenders back but there was no push. Someome on here days ago thought it was a free against BBB.

    In the final Q, Petracca heavily tackles ? Hunter and wins a free in our D50. 
    Games over,  CP runs by, gives Hunter consoling pat

    Does anyone on here need to fess up that they cracked it after the Bonts goal and stormed out only to check the score at 3/4 time and think WTF.

    I felt pretty despondent …. left the room realizing that I wasn’t wearing my scarf ….. put it on and ….. bang, bang, bang (and repeat) …. so you can all thank me for the turnaround. 100 points to 7 with the said scarf on ❤️💙❤️❤️💙

    You do realise that it’s your duty to wear said scarf every nanosecond of every single match next year, right?

    Oh and during every single training session in which our boys partake. (To avoid any injuries.)

    And it wouldn’t hurt for you to wear it while they’re on their post-season break (no drownings, rock climbing accidents etc.)

    Maybe just never take the bloody thing off. 
    Cheers!

    I feel Jack Viney hasnt been appreciated enough.

    He had struggled a bit this year with injuries.

    Really stepped up in his last five games and while overshadowed by stellar mids in Trac and Oliver, he certainly played a big part in our success. Displayed some silky skills above his usual hard tackling and racked up a large number of possessions with much better disposal. With him playing like that more consistently gives us the best midfield ever.

    Just watched the replay with the SEN commentary on youtube.

    In the three quarter break on screen they posted that ..

    Since 1984 only Geelong ( 2009 v saints) has won the flag when trailing at 3/4 time.

    I wish i knew watching the game but i suppose after that last min goal spree at the end of the third i felt a little confident.

    Gerard Healy was really awful in that call.

    Anthony Hudson and Gerard Whateley are two of the best callers but hearing radio calls from people not at the game just isn’t the same.

    • 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.
