    Usually refers to a troops coming out of a difficult battle and can’t associate with what they have witnessed. Sorry Stig you posted before me.

    In Clarry's defence he probably can't even remember what happened 12 months ago, May's laughing is the more concerning part...

    Best guess? 

    No idea, and won’t speculate. But we’re truly gutless and pathetic. It’s not just the losses to West Coast, Fremantle and Collingwood, it’s the way we performed (or lack thereof) and conducted ourselves in those games that make me think something isn’t right. What that is, I don’t know. Even Petracca’s pre-bounce “bro-style” handshake and pat on the back of Maynard was disgusting. It was easier to watch our losses in the Neald-era for mine; our list was full of C-graders and we landed talent. That’s not an excuse in these instances, ergo, something is wrong.

    I guess the club knew there was no winning in a snarling match against the combination of Collingwood, the AFL executive, and Channel 7 'Australia's official home for abusers, war criminals and sex pests'.

    I mean, Brian Taylor actually asked "Do you think those boos for Maynard might be related to the Bradshaw incident?"

    [censored]

    I'm slowly falling out of love with football. It struck me over the long weekend that I was only ever dipping in to check on games, catch a few headlines, see if there was anything of particular note.

    I used to settle in for multiple games a week (multitasking of course), monitor all kinds of stats, play Supercoach (spent a solid chunk of one season inside the top 1000), knew the expectations of at least 30 of that season's draft picks, and could have made a reasonable go of naming a best 22 for most clubs.

    As of now, I couldn't give you the top 10 from the last draft or for most clubs.

    I'm Melbourne, now, and that's all I am when it comes to Australian Football.

    • 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.
