The number of close wins theyve had reads like a fairytale. Theyre good at it but luck and dodgy umpiring certainly plays its role.

We probably  would of lost to the Pies if the game had gone another minute. Just one more crucial umpiring decision Pies way and the Pies win another game on the siren.

    I imagine Kane Farrell is not Mr.Popular on the Port boards today.  The deliberate OOB that gave Elliott a makeable shot at goal and then dropping the pressure chest mark at the death.

    And then dropped a sitter inside 50 from a JHF pass with a minute to go.

    It's funny how the best teams have so many "lucky" wins.

    The best teams fight to the end and always believe they can win. It's what separates them from the rest.

    And we don’t? 
    We fought back twice against the Lions, and against Port and held on against the Pies. Our average losing margin is exceptionally small for a reason. 

    We just don’t get behind as often at the Pies, so nobody rates our ability to fight back and win. But that doesn’t mean we don’t or can’t. We fought back from 19 points down in a grand final and won by 70+.

    Means nothing if you're fighting back and not getting the results.

    Pies on the other hand simply get the results.

    Agree. We’re rarely not in with a chance to win our games. It’s why we’re a contender as well.

    We beat Lions, we beat Dogs, we beat Geelong. 
    And I bet my bottom dollar that if Oliver doesn’t do his hamstring we beat Port as well. 
     

    There is a lot to be said for fighting back and winning. But there’s equally a lot to be said for not needing to constantly fight back to win, don’t you think? 
    Why is Pies coming back and winning more impressive than Melbourne being in every game we play and rarely being in a position to not win it?

    Are you a Melbourne supporter? I think if there has been another minute e we would have won by over a goal.

    St Kilda being able to start the last two seasons the same and fade out the same is uncanny, 

    When are they sacking Ross the Boss?

    These over-celebrations by the Saints players after kicking a goal is hilarious.

    You’re on 61 points with 10 minutes left against the second worst team in the comp that hasn’t won a game since round 2. 
     

    I’d be ashamed if I even cracked a smile lol

    • 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.
