I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming 

FWIW the Tigers faithful (the cheer squad, anyways. But they’re a reflection of the general fanbase imo) are backing Ooze all the way. That’s not to say the Board are feeling the same, but Ooze knows he has the support of the fans. At the joint banner-making session at Punt Rd I was chatting with the Tiger Army President who told me they’re really happy with securing him as head coach. She made a point of mentioning that “in his first year as coach *Hardwick only racked up two wins.”

*She called him Hardwick, not Dimma.

    Adelaide nuffies losing their mind when the insufficient intent call made. Very similar to the incident a few years ago when we were dudded.

    absolutely the right call.

    If they hold on, no doubt Fagan will come out and say it was the best win he’s ever been involved in. He’s already said it in rounds 5 and 8.

    Fogarty goes ok with a set shot. Back him in every time.

    A draw might be the best result for us?

    You couldn't really see Brisbane making top four now with three and a half wins out of nine games. It's probably down to seven sides now as Essendon won't be there either.

    I reckon final 8 is now set. With pies finally making it.

    Probably best 8 teams. No going to brissie for finals this year.

    good info but 2 years of bottom 2 for a team like tigers is hard to survive for any inexperienced coach. he’ll be fine this year but likely mid next year the heat will come 

    doesn’t make sense but it’s how it has been for AFL coaches. hope he survives

    i doubt it. Freo for example will make finals imo

    only 8 points between 2nd and 10th

    anything can happen

    GC and Dogs will keep asking the question 

    Cats, Bombers, Port, Giants should slip a bit but not sure how much

    • 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.
