    The only thing missing from this game is Phil Gibbs and Ted Henry on commentary.

    And it's just gone 8:30 - what's on SBS?

    The ads are nearly as bad as the commentary. 

    FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

    Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

    Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

    I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

    Cotchin is shot. 

    Shai Bolton - yes please. 

    Yeah great call about Dusty.

    The pressure isn’t off the charts and like you said, 3 years ago he would probably have 2 goals and 3 goal assists by now and Richmond is up by 30.

    He could still explode this year but I’ve always felt Curnow is very inconsistent. 
     

    He has the potential to dominate but it feels like he goes missing for 2 games at a time then explodes and kicks 5.

    If it’s not ‘his day’, he’s a middle of the road forward. 
     

    As much as I hate to say, when Hawkins has a terrible day, he’ll still be involved in at least 2-3 goals.

    Carlton has defended well. Something very familiar about their defensive structure...

    How has no one fixed McKay's ridiculous kicking style yet?

    • 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.
