Our form isn't great and have lost 4 games when leading by 20+ points, is  it Fitness or Attitude??

Will be very surprised if we make top 4 now and possibly lose our next 4 games to top 8 teams

    Finals start now. 8 weeks.

    2x blockbusters at the MCG.

    2x big Road-trips.

     Each game is against top 4 contenders.  

    Our record v bottom 8 teams. 11-0

    Our record v top 8 teams. 2-5. !!!!! 

    A lot of players need a rocket.  We thought 10-0 it was all just good enough. But the warning signs were there with 1/2 or 3/4 game efforts good enough.  Not any more !!! 

    Something is off.....they can't hold onto leads and have lost 4 games, even against the crows they took foot off the pedal and also against bottom teams.

    Fitness or Attitude?

    Christ. 

    Anyone who thinks we're likely to go 0-4 are delusional. 

    We should be winning two. And I'm hopeful we can win three. 

    We're a bloody good side, just need to get going. 

    No more injuries please.

    Yes we are good side but the reality is we keep given up 20+ point leads and have lost 4 games in the same fashion

    We will be going in as underdogs against all the remaining games against top 8 teams & will be lucky to win 1-2 of them based on current form.

    Only Geelong and Collingwood now right? Right?

    Yes and I think it would be best if this dominates the media and gets plastered across the papers.

    Cats always make finals given their quaintly shaped home ground where very few opposition fans can attend. 
    But what is their record at the G this year? Or any year and at any normal shaped and sized ground for that matter

    Cats also playing north, Weagles twice this year. 4 percentage boosters. 

    They also play 3 other teams outside the 8, port, saints and bullies twice. 

    Cats are home and away specialists.

    Our double up games are:

    • Freo finished 11th
    • Collingwood finished 17h
    • Port finished 3rd
    • Lions finished 4th
    • Bulldogs finished 2nd.

    Its the luck of the draw that Eagles slid, North stagnated while Freo and Pies have climbed giving us a tough run home and the Cats an easy run.

    But really if we can't beat Freo, Coll, Carlton and Lions (again) we don't deserve a double chance and won't last long in the finals.

    It is totally in our control.

    This time last year we lost too the dogs then went on our run so hopefully history repeats but that was against easy opposition apart from Geelong, on current form it’s hard to see us winning any of the 4 games

    If we were to drop all 4, what has to happen for us to miss the 8? Asking for a friend

    One of the Bulldogs Saints or Tigers have to win all 4 matches, make up % and also we have to lose all 4.

    Tell your friend that either Dogs, Tigers, or Saints have to run the table from here or we have to get smashed a couple times and then the Dogs can drop one and get over us.

    Assure your friend that if we lose the next 4 (ala 2004), our embarrassment will be a first week of finals exit…

    The Pies are on the same points as us. I actually feel sick. I've hardly ever wanted the Bombers to win more than I did tonight.

    • 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.
