what is it about Hoges, never takes a game apart. should have 5 and they’d be home

If he could kick straight he'd be B+ to A grade.  Such a commanding presence and a beautiful mark

Wouldn't mind him in our team right now but that's the stuff of dreams.  Bridges might have been burnt.  But the boy can play!

Mind you, the game was tough of my aging eyes ... bright orange & yellow everywhere.  Had to turn the brightness down on the telly

    Collingwood look off tonight and are missing their ruckman, De Goey and McStay might be out for the game.

    The scary thing about St Kilda is that they’re not even close to full strength.

    They epitomise what work rate and effort can do. Talent doesnt make as much difference as it used to. If they keep winning and get back their stars they’ll go deep. 
     

    We forget that they used to be a reasonable team before they fell off the face of the earth with no apparent reason.

    no way the Saints will be able to keep this up over the season. it’s all pressure and manic play  

    Ross is doing the right thing focusing on defence. but Saints don’t have the depth or talent to make the 8 this year. they’ll drop off like last year

    After our debacle yesterday watching saints and filth play actually gives me hope. What an appalling game. At least the saints have some injuries as an excuse.

    They said that about us in 2021. They are fit and they are hungry. Structurally they are excellent.

    They'll make the eight easily.

    do they have a Trac, Clarry, Gawn, May, etc? i reckon they are getting through on energy and pressure. us in 2021 were pokes apart imo

    they were 8-3 last year and missed finals

    well done Hoges

    Yes he effectively killed the clock with that last pack mark at high half-forward (Hawks side of the ground)

    I got the distinct impression that he didn't want the finger pointed at himself for missing those 2 easy shots

    Willed himself at the contest and iced the game.  It certainly was well done

    Could this be a Grand Final preview?

    No thank you.

    I hope we play the GF and I'd prefer we take care of business in the PF and smash the Pies.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
