I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

Agreed, it was 13 goals to 2 at half time 3 weeks ago, a similar score is desirable.

    Daniher out means they will play fast corridor football instead of their slow high marking game.

    What game style do we fail against most often?

    They have to win the ball first and they’re not as skilled as other sides that have beaten us that way.

    Dud Sportsbet have the Dee's as unbackable favourites for the first 10 rounds this year?

    Like pretty much every expert commentator?

    Geez Louise what has that got to do with.....anything ?

    That's right! Or at least half of that will be acceptable!

    If we are too tall back maybe an opportunity, to shift Petty forward to help out BB?

    I'm surprised and shocked on two counts.

    1. Someone found Daniher attractive enough to do the deed

    2. Daniher was accurate enough to "kick a goal."

    Never a problem for AFL players no matter their looks. 
    But yeah, can’t dispute your 2nd point 😂

    Hearing that we also might have a late out for Smith or Bedford either of which will play or supersub

    Might want to send this through to the coaches at MFC, doubt they will catch on

    Sounds a bit Spargo-ish.

    Last week i was anxious as all heck, today i am very much "what will be will be". Would be a waste of a season to go out in straight sets, particularly starting 10-0.

    It's all up to the boys now. I'll be there cheering them on tonight, and hopefully get to next week as well. 🤞

    Agree. But that’s how the Dees mess with your head. Flat this week. Smash the Lions

    have a week of getting your hopes up then Hawkins kicks 6 and we are crushed!

    good times!

    Yep


    No matter what anyone says, there is huge pressure on us tonight. 

    We haven't had enough go wrong out of our control to mean that a straight sets exit after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd is acceptable. It isn't.

    I put very little weight in the margin of the two H&A games. Finals are different. We won't blow Brisbane apart (if we do, that says way more about them than us). We are better than them, we should find it easier to score against them than Sydney given their leaky defence, and we should have a point to prove and a burning desire to right the ship.

    I don't mind if it's a slog, or if it's close, or if we're behind at points. I just want a win. I want a shot at Geelong in a prelim, where for the first time in a long time we'll be significant underdogs.

    funny thing is, if we win tonight, I think we will beat Geelong next week. go figure

    Things were certainly different last week. We just need to get the job done tonight, that is all. Not particularly fussed about the perfect performance. Win and go again.

    • 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.
