Late 2021 vibes about Carlton unfortunately.

Nah, Melbourne had 2018 before any success in finals.

Carlton hasn't played in finals for 10 years, unless the AFL is working something up with the umpires? 🤔

    At least when we fell 40 points down late in 2021 it was to a preliminary finalist, not a currently bottom 4 side!

    What happens when you don't put your best defender on the oppo's best forward and take too long to realise the mistake

    The premiership race is so wide open this year it’s not even funny.

    Can easily see Carlton winning the flag now.

    Brisbane are hopeless at the G. Collingwood are looking wobbly, Port aren’t convincing. Who knows about us?

    I don’t want them to win the flag, but an impartial observer would concede that they’re in the hunt.

    Is this what you mean? I assume you're referring to Melbourne's late season form that year. The Blues will likely have to do it for one more game than Melbourne did. But yes, they're a very dangerous side and you'd be crazy to put them outside your top 3 form teams right now. They'd have to remain "up" for another 6 weeks though, after already being up for over 2 months.

    Really need to dump the stand rule.

    Such a massive advantage to the player with the ball with the umps taking far too long to call play on 90% of the time.

    It's become a horrid eye sore that gifts the possession team too many cheap advantages and goals.

    Charlie Cameron racially vilified last night at the footy by a supporter. Now being investigated. Honestly. It’s a disgrace.

    Meanwhile it's business as usual at the Wind Tunnel (Casey) in our women's practice match vs Hawthorn. Dees are currently 6 goals 15 behinds vs Hawthorn just 6 behinds midway through the last quarter.

    Biggest waste of money in AFL history are the Suns. Tassie should have their licence.

    This an embarrassing capitulation and I expected nothing less 

    This should be viewed as the Suns being dreadful rather than Carlton continuing on their winning ways, but the narrative won't reflect that.

    Not that it matters for the Suns as they're just spinning their wheels until Hardwick gets there, as they have been for 10 years.

    For a team with 900 first round draft picks they are useless.

    He would be nice cover for Petty up one end in a few years time.

    If I was a Carlton supporter that sound effect after a Suns goal would drive me nuts .

     

    Spare a thought for the Suns supporter who has to hear it a couple of times every week.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
