It’s not. I just wanted to tag you in the post so you see it 😂

 

I am genuinely interested to know what you think Port will do for the remainder of the H&A season to make sure they hit peak form in September. 
I feel like they’ve gone too hard too early and tinkering now is very risky. 

No idea to be honest.

But they appear to have taken a completely different approach.

There's no way they wouldn't have some loading program in place.

But they seemed to not drop off in their intensity till the blues game they just lost. Which is weeks later than when we started our loading phase. 

I'm guessing the fact they managed seven players in this game isapart of their strategy to manage load, fatgue, rest individual programs etc.

Bur that is risky, because clubs are  loath to make more that 2-3 changes (except for bevo) because sytems are so important.

Seven changes is the reason the blues were favourite against a team going for its 14th straight win.

They can afford a loss and that was obviously a risk they were happy to take.

    Now they have to bring everyone back because they can’t afford this limp display against the Pies. 
    A strange time to do this. 
     

    It feels to me like Hinkley is on a hiding to nothing. He basically has to win the flag or he’s gone. They went so hard early because another so so start to the season and he’d get sacked. I wonder how much his fear of sacking is impacting their plan for the season.

    The results have suited us perfectly so far.

    Now we need Essendon and Geelong to draw and Geelong to sustain 7-10 season ending injuries. 
    Easy.

    So the brother gifts the game to his brother, total capitulation by the Bombers.

    Geelong's bigger bodies are absolute kryptonite for Essendon's smaller mids. It looks like men vs boys.

    Seeing some pretty bad comments on social media regarding Sam Weideman. 

    Was reading a stat that he hasn't kicked a goal in 6 week..

    How on earth does that happen for a key forward?

    It’s a real shame there’s not more than 300 Essendon supporters at the ground watching this.

    The best thing about the Cats pumping the Bombers is that their percentage doesn’t count but the loss of Essendon’s does.

    Really tough draw in the next month for Port, could see a huge drop off

    • 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.
