    Fingers crossed Salem is OK. Crappy tackle when there's 4 mins to go and you're 90 points down.

    We seem to like bending teams over barrels these days.

    Great to watch.

    May the strangle hold over Norf continue. 🙏

    Just put a pineapple on BB for the Coleman. Paying $21!

    Was there any noticeable difference in the umpiring of the holding the ball rule? Alternatively, were players trying to dispose of the ball more quickly because of the supposed "tightening up" of that rule?

    Didn't see any difference, other than a few ridiculous holding the balls paid.

    That will come down.

    I reckon after today it will be in around $10-12 range.

    On the claim that Weid might have been played in the ruck in case that Luke Jackson leaves.

    No because he needs to get a go away from just being a forward   in one position. And he is quite decent around the ground with good skills marking and handball ing. No one not even BBB or Tmac  can make  a difference to Dogga in the ruck.
    Please no reason to  be so half glass empty that is not what is being suggested that Dogga is leaving this season or the next 2 at least.

    I know it's only a practice match but belting North Melbourne is always a fun event.

    Hopefully Salem is OK? Otherwise sounds like we got everything we'd have wanted from this match.

    How has Tom Sparrow done?

    It looked like he had hit the gym regularly in the off season.

    He was great. Trimmed down noticeably but still looks wide and strong. Kicked it beautifully and will get more midfield minutes based on today's game

    I was confused about the pineapple reference there for a minute.😁

    I know a 20s a lobster.

    Is a100 a watermelon ?

    Worth a punt for sure.

    On Brown, I saw a highlight video of Chandler's goal from the middle of the field. Was that Brown sprinting into the goalsquare chasing after it?

    If so...seems a far bit faster/more agile than last year?

    Yea it was. He looked quick and gave the thumbs up when it went through.

    A few iffy ones, but lots of high tackles paid that looked very dubious and "drawn".  Unfortunately Kayo wasn't doing replays. I would have liked some more looks at many of them.

    BoG for me was Clarry.  Very powerful display.

    Most pleasing was Joel Smith.  Not sure if he was beaten once and disposed of the ball very well.  Really starting to use his supreme athletic gifts well.  Even with Petty out, picking our defenders for round 1 will be a nightmare.

    Can you elaborate on Joel Smith.?  Iv'e always had my doubts and saw a 30 sec clip of the game where he charged through won the ball then butched it.

    Not representative of his game?  Hitting targets?

    Chandler was opportunistic , at best.

    Kicked 2 goals but was rarely sighted otherwise, though the same could be said for our other small forwards who tended to see more goals sailing over their heads from long distances

    • 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.
