Second week in a row I feel dirty after a game and need a shower.

Yeah but this time it’s Essendon so the shower needs to be twice as long and the temperature just short of scalding. And we should  burn the clothes we’re wearing for good measure.

    Now they are out of finals contention, I don't mind Essendon won today. It helped keep Brisbane off our tails.

    Also makes Thursday night for annoying because we could have been 2 games clear of Brisbane to

    A great result.  Excellent work Bombers.  That will help us though only if we don't drop the next couple of games.  Must win the ones we are expected to and at least break 50-50 in the rest.  4 out of 6 will see us top 4.

    We need to not lose a game for a while. Watching these games and hoping for certain results stinks.

    Not sure I'm so happy about the Lions losing as it is easier for Sydney to make top 4 as they have at least 4 very winnable games coming up.  Other than Geelong it is, on paper, the easiest run home.

    I would rather play Lions in the QF than Sydney.

    Our win against Brisbane has not aged well

    Not a fan of having losses to no 1,3, 5 and 6 either

    Agree that whilst is hasn’t aged well, our defensive intent that night would’ve beaten every club.

    Any danger Collingwood can lose a game anytime soon? At this rate they’re going to make the grand final. They just simply find a way to win regardless of whether the opposition is excellent or poor.

    I’ll be happy just to make the final 4 first Luci, give our form and our draw

    Sort of why I never bought into us being 'back' 100%

    West Coast have been pathetic so far

    woeful. Almost quarter time and zero inside 50. 


    edit: soz, that was their second inside 50. Barely though, blink and it’s back out again. Scoreless, too. 
    There is a positive though: they have a player named Rhett Bazzo. That’s some name right there. 

    You know a match is boring when you find amusement in players’ names. 😆

    I'm very confident.  Lots and lots of 8-pt games among top 9 teams to come.  And quite a few of top 8 games with teams that want to make a mark. 

    We have a game and large % on 5th.  The % is almost worth another game.  Short of the wheels falling off and we win our fair share we are top 4.

    Still a good chance for top 2, I reckon...

    I know I’m supposed to be barracking for Essendon but I can’t. I tried but I just cannot do it. How would I sleep at night?

    Warm in the belief that the Dons have given us a better chance of securing a better ladder position WCW. 

    Now put ur Electric Blanket on, reread our Premiership Literature, AND....... Dont forget the nightcap WCW!!😇

    Still sticking with the "It's all rigged" narrative then, Clint?

    Not rigged, but at least an element of manipulation

    Great player Josh Kennedy

    Have always admired and respected him. Love the way he goes about his footy. Ever humble and a perfect role-model for kids (and adults as well).

    • 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.
