‘Objective data???’ as a person in IT  - the use of the above data was wholly to back up a preconceived argument or notion to pin blame on a singular individual. 

It’s the furtherest thing from ‘objective’ use of data.

I was commenting from the perspective that objective data is interpreted through what is ‘seen’ , as opposed to subjective which is ‘said’. Unfortunately it’s hard to convey sarcasm over a forum.

    Pretty sure clubs do internal reviews every year, so that would just be more of the same if that is the path Roffey follows.  Interesting graphic below of the Pies performance leading up to their external review. Maybe they waited too long to do it.  The cultural issue at the Pies were masked over by the flag in 2010, but appear to have peaked in the years after.  Cultural issues make high performance unsustainable (re Pies 2010, re West Coast 2006 etc).  Our only hope to not slide into irrelevancy is to have a thorough and independent review, and if we have absolutely zero issues it would still be money well spent.

    And what happens if the fish rots from the very head? We won't get meaningful cultural change until the closed shop at the top is dismantled.

    We have a bunch of fly in Melbourne supporters seemingly more interested in their own careers than the interests of the football club.

    Josh Mahoney for Pert for mine, and Todd Viney for Richo. Thank you very much.

    So you would be happy to see a once in a generational list dismantled due to internal issues that the club has poorly managed, this list has delivered and could deliver more for the 1st time in 60yrs …just keep on accepting it!

    Head in sand stuff with Wayne. Always has been, always will be.

    You'd have Raygun dish up the same performance in the next Olympics and he'd still tell you it's a 10/10 performance. 

    So he is not allowed a different opinion. Standard for Demonland

    Always the same negative posters ready to jump

    I would listen to David Schwarz, especially after the way he lost all his hard earned, there is a sensible person to Lister to

    The days of clickbait from pundits and journalists is alive and well.

    Your answers are usually 1 word or a Facepalm Saty. 
    The Ox is well aware of his past and also a very passionate Demon. I would listen to what The Ox has to say very carefully….

    I’m happy for you to shut the door on your way out. Don’t try and spin this…..

     

    Fickle supporters who walk out on the club  because you don’t get your way are a dime a dozen…. 
     

    don’t forget to shut the door. 😂😳🤩

    I don't think we're that bad in this regard.  We were playing with the most under 22 players most of the year and they're lacking in both experience and strength.  Generally our wins in the second half of the year are because we were "too tough" and that included our tackling.

    • 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.
