    Looking forward to seeing where we are in the grand scheme of things.

    We absolutely have no excuses for this game against the AFL's favourite child.

    Tmac to follow Cameron where ever he goes, he has the tank to stay with him.

    Not a very different team to what we be fielding this year and thank goodness it is not at Kardinia fortress that has been a finals catapult for the cats for so long.

    I listened in from the east coast of Italy. I doubt that Rohan has ever had a better game (16 d and 3.2).
    I know I’ve been bashing Petty somewhat but I notice he only took 3 marks and had 5 disposals in 84%TOG. I’m hoping he has a ‘round 20’ game this Saturday.

    Just finished listening to the podcast.

    And read through the ABC article you posted in the "How rest and preparation dictate AFL performance" thread.

    No doubt the FD are all over the rest vs 'training loads' ratios throughout a season and have the experience / data on every player etc.

    However i'm starting to wonder if Bin might be on the money regarding the impact of the extra training session on a long break between matches such as the bye week against the Tigers and this week against the Cats.

    If that theory holds any weight then i'd expect another ordinary or very poor opening quarter or half vs the Cats followed by some sort of uptick in the last three quarters or half.

    Hopefully not, as the Cats will eat us alive and win comfortably under that scenario.

    The alternative is we play it smart on the training track and gym, particularly for the more senior players.  Maybe not even throw the extra session at them and we come out cherry ripe from the get go??

    Was that the game Tomlinson was dropped after his 10 mark effort on Kings Birthday?

    Rohan killed us in that game and he’s in the mix to return this week.

    • 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.
