Unfortunately it looks like that grand finals has mentally broken a lot of our players. Confidence is shot

    Lot of similarities between the Blues and the 2021 Dees. They are looking really good. OMac being a starting key back can’t be a good sign for them though.

    More like us in 2018, won’t surprise me if they make a prelim, don’t expect them to go further

    They're the real deal Carlton. Say what you want, but they absolutely have the cattle to finish top 4.

    Their midfield and forward line is elite.

    I think we broke the Bulldogs and it’s delightful.

    Outwith a couple of key season ending injuries this game has had everything so far.

    Their midfield win enough of the ball which means it's less pressure on their backs.

    They have a good system in place.

    Yep. They will struggle to win 8 games this year. The intensity has gone. 
    Beautiful thing…

    We killed em off

    Carlton are a genuine flag contender, not just a top 6 side that might scrounge out a finals win.

    They remind me of Richmond (2017) and Melbourne (2021) in that they have a highly talented list that finally discovered a magic formula and group buy in over summer, just like what we did last summer.

    They’re an extremely impressive and dangerous side thus far.

    I hope Buddy kicks his 1,000th tomorrow and gets it over and done with.  Fox Footy and SEN mention it every 5 minutes

    Based on this form they are, but no one would have rated Melbourne a shot at a flag in round 2 last year, and rightly so. Only the true believers had faith - and just because some of us were right doesn't mean it's going to prove to be true this year.

    I'll reserve my judgment - I simply don't think the pace they play at will be repeatable for the entire year.

    No way making a call about Carlton yet. Dust doesn't settle until about round 8. Their midfield is very, very good but Cripps will probably not be able to sustain his current rate of work, and their defence can be easily exposed as shaky and vulnerable. 

    And the Doggies are a proud bunch with a brilliant skipper, I doubt they will roll over.

    Weightman is over-rated - two awful kicks - very lucky with the second one.. Hannan does very little.

    Wasn't McGovern standing still? How can the fault be his?

    That doesn’t hold up in finals tho as you know. 
    Carlton have the talent to finish top 4. So do the Dogs. Both have very suspect backlines.

    Doggies have turned up the heat. We'll see what Carlton are made out of now.

    Carlton's backline has fallen apart since Oscar didn't come back after half time😁

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
