For the last two seasons now we’ve played poorly in second quarters. 
You can’t be at 100% for 4 quarters. So it’s just a matter of minimizing the damage. So far we haven’t been blown apart in second quarters other than against the Dogs who piled on 7 goals. 
 

Not worried about last quarters. We’ve had games just about won in the last and have been parking the bus to conserve energy. 
We can go for 4 quarters if we need to.

    Interesting to see when we play Freo if they come home with a wet sail. Haven't been watching them, but maybe they've upped their fitness to run out games.

    Unfortunately tge afl dropped the only bloody thing I liked about their stats - AFL StatsPro, the video program that counts stats and shows (showed) every involvement of every player for every game.

    Spewing.

    David King has pointed out that they have 5 mids who dominate the time in the middle. So that may be a depth issue or a ‘hardening’ and ‘resilience’ tactic but it means that fatigue from Walsh, Cripps, Kennedy, Hewett, pittonet, and Cerra will arrive more than most teams - especially when not used to that workload. We have 3 that have played 80% or more in the middle which I would guess to be CP5, CO13, and JV7 - hardened stars.

    You never want to bomb in any quarter but if there is one where I don't mind a slight drop off it's the second. Our 3rd quarters in recent times have just blown the league away.

    They've beaten Crows by 1pt, Lost to Saints by 10, smashed Eagles by 55, easily the Giants by 34 and the Bombers by 48. Very easy draw so far, Blues and Cats the next 2 will show where they're at.

    Stats, stats, stats, Rising Stars, Norm Smith, AA - only one stat interests me and the way our boys, playing “Team First” footy it seems they too, seek only one stat

    More dumbing down of the AFL website which I find shallow in content and almost unusable

    • 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.
