Fair comments, djr.  I wasn't referring to your reports which I enjoyed.  If my comment offended you I apologise. 

I wasn't referring to observations per se.  It was the conclusions by some re Petracca not posting about the club/teammates on IG, not wearing mfc gear on his IG, caring only about his brand etc etc implying he had 'checked out' or 'didn't care' (paraphrasing).  Those trigger the anti-Trac brigade and the off-season stuff is rehashed. 

djr, shaming others isn't ever my style - if it was I would have quoted them. 

I just hope we don't spend the year questioning his commitment/behaviour or defending it.  If that happens each week I'll be the one checking out, of DL.  fwiw, I would feel the same if anyone playing for our beloved demons was discussed that way.

How to be a nice person in three paragraphs.

    Re Friday gallery in this: Can't help thinking how many 'slitheras' (refer Casey training reports 😄) they might have encountered!...

    Well said Lucifer. Could not agree more.  There will be many of us checking out of DL if the negativity continues.

    • 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.
