Watching this makes me genuinely worried about 25.

I mean we aren't missing that many players so it's a worry.

 

It’s not a witch hunt he’s gone.

The Bont is a super player

One of my absolute favorites. Star and a great guy to boot. 

 

You absolutely couldn't get more Melbourne than winning a flag on the other side of the country while we're in locked, losing 4 finals at the MCG in a row, and then absolutely [censored] the bed again when your best player get injured.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Goodwin is a [censored] coach if absolutely everything isn't going his way. He's Hinkley 2.0. We have another decade of this to look forward to.

    Yes 2024 is done and dusted.

    What a great way to bow out.

    Absolutely smashed.

    We have given notice today that bruise free footy is well and truly back.

    You’re being overly dramatic

    Trac and Oliver with a preseason, is not the difference here. Don’t be fooled into thinking everything in 25 will be all right.

    There’s losing and then there’s losing. This game should be over. Doggies should be up by 50 points. That is not a 1 -1.5 player difference. 

    Yes we are banged up but guess what, guarantee you that half their squad is probably carrying something too.

    Goodwin has got this team playing so conservative and so slow that there is nothing positive about anything we do.

    The season is done, take the shackles off and play with some flare and positivity and implement  changes now. Don’t wait until pre season.

    Some on this site thought we were hopeful we would still make finals and a good chance to do so. Delusional on both fronts. Horrible season laced with loads of ill fortune. We we're never winning it tonight nor making the 8. Thank God we haven't! So many injured and struggling. Finish the season early and go again. Viney seemingly needs shoulder surgery,  May and Gawn should be put in cotton wool. Suns win tonight and we're down to 13th. Top 8 draft pick. Early finish. Nothing guaranteed but a strong October trade and draft period coupled with a an earlier pre season with fitter players and things could look a whole lot different.

    Goodbye 2024. You’ve been downright awful.

    Steadily transitioning into an irrelevant and soulless team again.

    Can we change the coach before it's too late for this group, seriously.

    I have said it before, his failures in 2019 and 2020 after making it to a PF were telling.

    2021 we had the perfect season, including injuries.

    0-4 in finals since the premiership.

    All those finals played at the MCG.

    Goodwin's credit is well spent IMV.

    The writing was already on the wall before Petracca went down, there were alarming signs everywhere.

    Very disheartening looking at our player faces.

    They know the season is cooked and hard to be motivated to keep playing for 4 more weeks.

    Honest quote.

    Started with the Lions first game v us and cemented re  Eagles and then Freo ( twice).

    We are lost.

    And sadly it's players like

    Oliver

    Viney

    Sparrow

    May

    Lever

    Salem

    Petty

    That give me pause.

    I'm worried for season 25.

    • 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.
