Hi guys, 

in your upcoming game preview towards the end of the podcast (vs Carlton), I’d love to hear some ‘more solid’ predictions about what might happen.

I know that’s like asking Richard Dawkins to predict the next genetic mutation of a true believer, but it’d be an interesting exercise to try to pin point what the factors will be for success or failure - eg will loading (in prep for Collingwood) *really* impact the game for us? Will the return of Hunter and the selection of Schache bring the magic back? 

I realise the podcast airs before the team selection, but you get what I mean. What are the main factors that will predict win or loss?

Massive caveats, of course, but I guess what I’m asking is to predict what would normally be only obvious in hindsight.

can you be the buddhas on the mountaintop?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great intel Binman. 

You’re on fire Binnie! 🔥 

 

Thanks guys.  Another great show, and great to have George back!

Question that’s come up a lot on DL over the last few days. Why is kozzie not getting any of the centre bounces? 

Didn't see this one either until after but it's an interesting question. Some games we seem to roll multiple players through the middle and other we stick with the same 3 or 4. This week was the latter.

Next week we'll do a bigger Preview of the Kings Birthday match.

 

Amongst all the doom and gloom expressed on these forums, it was refreshing to hear George in particular put it all into perspective and into the context of an entire very long season - hopefully one that last until the very end of September 🤞❤️💙❤️💙

I will listen to this one again whenever I start to get a bit depressed about us not easily winning every game. 🙄

Many thanks. 

Great pod again boys, and needless to say, my ears were burning. Thanks binman and George for re-iterating the strain-tear semantics silliness, and reinforcing the 3 weeks for ANY hamstring rule. I don’t doubt the rehab staff will be aiming to get Clarry up for King’s Birthday.

  • 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.
