30-17 and they still can't get within 4 goals. 

Good luck for the season dogs you might need to up the payments to the umps or practise the ducking a bit more.

 

So this is what it feels to be a good team, beat maybe the 2nd best side while playing mediocre

Considering our backline issues, patchy kicking and terrible umpiring, this is a really good win!

How good is winning in Round 1? 

Big year ahead!

 

Best game I have seen from Joel Smith, thought he was good.

Some poor finishing, but a good win with Tracc leading the way, quite a few cobwebs but overall a pleasing start to season with a depleted backline.

 

Salem is a huge worry, can’t replace his class.

 

Very solid, gotta love those grinding wins. Gave them very little after their run in the second. Still, we need to be able to stop those runs. If we can arrest the runs it will be very scary for our opponents.

I was swearing when I saw Lever out, then Salem knee injury is my biggest takeaway. Four GF starting defenders out is not making me happy, I like to have depth not use it.... 

From people watching how was Tomlinson?

The free kicks are going to cause a lot of noise, as will the umpiring in general.

How good is it to win after being under the pump, the will to win is huge, no side will feel safe. Will be watching tonight my time.

Perfect start

Salem was a big loss, but Bedford came on and showed plenty.

Still hasn't sunk it that we are reigning premiers with the best [censored] player in the league. By a long shot.

Weightman can go and take a long walk off a short pier.

Hey Rod, have you heard anything else RE. Salo. He didn't have his knee iced in the last quarter. Uncertain if this is a good thing, but he seemed pretty chipper.

Fantastic first up win.

Dogs wanted to win badly.... Umps wanted Dogs to win badly.. (only half joking)

Bailey Smith Frees for = 5   Frees against = 1

Clayton Oliver frees for =  0   Frees against = 7.    7 !!!????

 

3 of our first-string backs out and lost another (who is also our best kick out of the backline) early. Didnt just hang on but made it into a solid win in the end.

I didnt see or hear a second of the game so this is one replay i look forward to.

Guess we are on top of the ladder again ? 

Take that any day of the week.

The self-belief in the team is palpable. Remarkable to see, mentally they're just so strong (collectively).

Sorry, don’t know

Good to see TMAC taking some marks down back in the later parts of the game. Also good to see he still kicks flat punts into the back of players heads...

  • 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.
