What a season this has been. Topsies and Turvies, periods where bottom sides have seriously challenged Top sides, the many close calls, the many askew outcomes.

Looking at the Demons until Round 22, the biggest losing margin was against Essendon in Round 5 - 27 points, the second worst 15 points against Geelong at the Fortified Monte Cassino once called Kardinia park where I was called for chucking in a Sub District Seconds match in 1967, the others by less than 11 points.

The sides which have beaten us by less than a goal include Carlton and GWS when we scored 5.15 and Port Adelaide in the rain in their home fixture.

We have played side which have played exceptionally well on their days - Sunday's game against the Hawks was such a game - but we have managed to hold on and 'Overcome'. 

By the way, it seems to me that the Hawks are not far away from rapid rise up the ladder.

I'm glad Geelong have been found out as a bunch of Geriatrics who got very lucky in 2022.

We'll see what happens in Sydney on Sunday. Bring on David Schwartz...

    • 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.
