Hawthorn are going to be a huge challenge next week.

They will be.

And a big factor is we will struggle to come up from last nights game such was it's intensity. 

I'm glad the Hawks have travel, and one less day to recover.

They will look to to to us exactly what they did to the Pies - run us of our feet

    Port probably have second locked up, and the all important home final, if they can beat Freo on the road next week.

    That would be crud apples.

    Look, no one wants to hear it now, but this Port game is why we shouldn’t sell games to NT. Why would we give up home ground advantage in such a tight race? Lost that by less than a goal. If that was 4 points we are second.

    Its a losing mentality selling games.

    Yeah it’s definitely not a football first decision by our club.

    Hopefully we get rid of it some time in the near future.

    We've dropped a few too many games against top 8 teams in close margins that we should have won.

    Another soft call of a goal.

    Watching the Richmond game and they took 90 seconds to decide if Riewoldt took a mark on the line or not.

    Last night they made a game deciding call in 35 seconds.

    If we can win one of the next two, we will have a home final against the Pies without Nick and a double chance.

    That’s probably our best result at this stage.

    How ironic would it be for finishing 4th being the best option?

    "INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE!!"

    - as per... every. time.

    The umpires are exonerated for their decision making.

     

    Jonno Ralph - letting us all know that the AFL have 'ticked off' the decision on Petracca's non goal last night... FMD.

    100% agree now.

    Probably good to see the Lions beat Collingwood next week just to dent Collingwood’s confidence and form further, and Port winning at least the same number as us after today.

    We will beat Collingwood in a qualifying final at the MCG. We would be underdogs in the other games. 
     

    If we did finish 4th, the loser of that match (1st v 4th) will probably end up playing Carlton at the MCG the following week. Still would prefer that situation as I’m confident we’d beat Collingwood.

    And with Moore maybe touch and go.

    Just need to get it done against the Hawks then we can do whatever we need to against the Swans to get the final match up we want.  The exact reason why all last round games should be played at the same time.

    Hopefully not season deciding!

    • 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.
