    The occasional spark, mostly Kozzie - a star - but we seem down on basic confidence and dare. Still waiting for the Demons bulldozer to start up…it’s possible but hard to replicate a finals run like last year.

    Great performance by our backline. May and Hibberd in particular were rock steady and Tomlinson looked at home in the absence of Petty.

    Kozzy has been threatening to tear a game apart like this since his first year. Unreal performance.

    .having not seen a second of this game did we wear our indigenous jumper seeing as we were in the Alice?

    No Oliver no worries. Will be a handy in next week.

    4 points that's all we need

    Why can’t Salem kick?

    He's lost his skills space jam style. Mongrel kicks and touched off the boot multiple times. May not much better

    Fair dinkum, it’s hard to please some people. Those who want to keep digging for negatives good luck to you, Mondays are always better with a win.

    No one said doing a repeat is easy, most should be happy we are at least giving ourselves a chance.

    Those thinking the win was average or not too impressive. Port were 7-3 coming the game. If they lose they are basically out of finals. They had only one injured player

    enjoy the win guys

    Just glad to get the win against a plucky Port without Clarry.

    Absolutely DZ. I prefer to think this is the kick start needed.

    We’re the worst 13-4 team! But a win is a win.

    Given there are only two 13-4 sides with just a few % points between them I would say we are equal best...

    How is levers shoulder?

    Didn’t want to raise his arm during the song to put it around May’s shoulder. So not good 

    Very brave to play on. I reckon he’ll be out next week. Hopefully only one week but who knows

    What a grinding win that was.

    Kossie, you are a little ripper. 3 Votes for you.

    Forward connection still a problem. Thank heavens for our backline.

    Melk.... your chase/rundown was something i didnt think you had in you.

    I'll take that.

    I liked it, too.

    Traditional today and thats the way it should be outside of the designated indigenous games.

    Solid win without Petty, with Lever injured and obviously without Oliver, considering Port can still make finals.

    The season is a grind at times and this game exemplified it.

    We werent much better last year at this point. Just grinding out wins - which is absolutely vital. It’s frustrating to watch when you know we have other gears. But at the end of day, regardless of how we win at this point, supporters should be happy. Top 4 is the aim. We have some big games coming up.

    • 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.
