Nothing at all. The silence coming from my corner these days is deafening

    I must admit I got alot of love from mates in the lead up and following the premiership.

    I was arguing we were going to win the premiership every year for 20 years straight and then when I realised it was likely last year I shut up and nobody could believe it.

    I am getting baited about back to back and a dynasty now. I'm staying quiet again for the same reason.

    I’m just loving being the competition bench mark. I have to remind myself that I shouldn’t expect EVERY article to reference us. After all the years of being condescended to I now feel as smug AF. But I am trying really hard not to do the same thing to others.
    TBH I’m not always successful.

    Other than telling them we're winning the next 3 I don't say that much.
    When they start frothing at the mouth I laugh at 'em from the mountain top.

    I did ask my Carlton supporting acquaintance who was  pretty excited if he's booked in for his  "Blues 2022  Rd1" tattoo though.



     

    Haha that is gold 😂

    Not much really as winning the flag has made me more relaxed.  My friends response has been fairly consistent though :

    Get F.

    Happy to receive the compliments about the GF but have always believed in staying humble. Say less but make a comment like “they play for each other” or “play for the coach” or “it’s great having a group of young talented match winners.” If you want to have a diplomatic dig, I find something along the lines of “enjoy the journey” or “ it can take years for a team to rebuild” or you “need patience for all the stars to align to win a flag”

    crom fans: "you've got one" (in reference to rachele) and "yr on wr way to making a long journey from milan to minsk" (rochelle, rochelle)

    cartlank fans: you should've played finals the last three years, at least - looks like you might get there this year

    peptides fans: yr too small in the middle; get stringer back in the midfield and you will be better / you've got no forward line; get stringer back in there and you will be better / you look light on down back; can stringer play there?

    filth fans: such a shame you'd traded out of the draft last year; you could have daicos and rachele

    pear fans: have you got any tall defenders left? what happened to to robbie gray this time?

    tiggas fans: you really missed prestia; how long will this hammy keep him out?

    For the most part I say smugly silent. one flag after 57 years after almost merging and being an embarrassment for so long, I am not ready to gloat much.  if we win another one, especially doing it easily, I reckon my lips might loosen up.

    but you never want to be 'that mate' who is insufferable when they win.  we all have that hawks/tigers mate

    • 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.
