Personally I don't think that we should be in any way led down this path, because this is a no return if we let the media push this button to suit themselves.I see us as a team that is having an exceptional run of wins and that's all.We haven't done anything other than win regularly.

No doubt discuss but everything should be objective.

    I was lucky enough to be there with my oldest Demon mate (Dave) when Max said this. Unforgettable and inspirational.

    It's not only Loyd either.  Turn on just about any footy show and they all sing our praises.

    Rewind just a few years ago to mid-late 2020 or worse still mid-late 2019 and the media would have been telling a completely different story about us.  Just goes to show how fine the line is and how fickle the media can be.

    It's also weird how quickly your own mindset changes too.  I would have previously been quite happy and accept that we may not win every game, but if we generally won more than we lost, I could be quite comfortable with that.  I'm getting to the point at the moment, that I'm not sure how I handle a loss if that ever happens again.

    The thing I love most besides watching it. It adds to to our perceived invincibility. Other teams must be wondering how do you stop that machine.

    We are at a point where I am not in the least concerned about us drinking our own bath water.

    • 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.
