I wish him well for the most part but Weid is still the exact same player he was with us. Those dropped marks are much easier to watch when he’s in Essendon colours.

    are people seriously seeing the bombers as a potential finals team?

    aside from us 🤮 they have just beaten bottom 6 trash teams 

    they have the Blues Freo away Port Crows Cats the next five.

    they are a rubbish team. and shame on us for losing them incidentally

    This is the stone cold truth. While Essendon's playing style and delivery does suit him a bit better and his confidence has grown, I don't see dramatic improvement there.

    That was a [censored] end to what should have been a great Kanga's victory... :( 

    Bombers got the umps run and broke the Kangas. But Kangas were brave with Greenwood and Simpkin both out with Concussion. 
    Kangas midfield very impressive and missing some yesterday.  Imagine their future with LDU, Simpkin, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Phillips, Powell all young and upcoming stars imv.

    I've given Collingwood their credit and they are the media darlings at the moment. Far enough, they are a good side. But there's one question that I haven't heard or read from anyone:

    What happens to Collingwood's game/strategy/chances if Nick Daicos gets injured?

    Not much different to if Trac or Clarry are injured in September. It's exactly the same for all teams.

    Pies bat very deep in their midfield, but like every side, if they lose their best players they struggle.

    Brisbane lose Neale or Port lose Butters or Rozee and that could be difference between them winning a flag or not. 

    Likewise without Bont, Dogs are barely a top 8 side.

    See I reckon Daicos might be the most important player to their team's chances right now, the number of contests he's able to keep consistently getting to is completely insane and it directly impacts the way they setup, if you were to take away his influence they would still be a decent side but significantly less menacing and minus the death by a thousand cuts he's able to bring over the course of a game. 

    Yes those sides would be a lot weaker without those players but Daicos' input is just that beneficial in my view and if I were a Pies fan I'd rather lose Pendlebury or Sidebottom.

    But look at his contested Ball Numbers!🤮

    • 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.
