    Collingwood remind me of Melbourne in 21, not the style but the team buy in and pressure. I can’t believe people are still doubting them, they look like they will be better this year than last year. 

    Thought the same thing. Just hope it's not the same result as we had.

    That free to Elliot (behind scored) for "dragging it in" was carp.  Tiger did start to drag it in but never controlled it, and the Magpie tackler nearly pulled the defender's head off.

    Surely HTB must first mandate a legal tackle.  High contact / tackle must surely always take precedence?

    Yes but they are running in waves from every line. As you say 2 receivers running forward ready to collect. 
    each line has exactly the same mindset 

    They are a very, very good side. Sad but true.

    Are you saying they prefer the 'outside 5' option vs standing the mark Mr Leg?

    Or....are you saying they initially stand the mark then walk backwards away from it even if they oppo hasn't played on yet?

    Always the first and then the second when they can get away with it. If the kicker takes a step sideways, they start moving backwards, beating the umpires play on call, who let it go, as the kicker is off and running.

    Just a little tactic they use, but it is the wave run that is winning them games and a fierce desire to win every contested ground ball.

    They're genuine premiership favourites for me right at this minute.

    I hate games like this: the lesser of the two evils get your hopes up a couple of times only to go down to the greater of the two evils. 😑

    I agree, it’s very early on but it feels like there a lock for a top four spot.

    Long way to go. Got to keep a healthy list first. But they definitely have the hunger - that’s for sure.

    • 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.
