It’s probably been mentioned previously but that last goal celebration was quite exhilarating outdoing the hockboys efforts.

    I couldn’t remember during the game, so I was calling him “ tall angry Andre Agassi”.

    ButI think it’s McIntosh. 

    Mc Intosh played his best game EVER last night! A few oher bits... I thought Caleb Daniels played as unnaccountable footy as any in the AFL including N Faicos, then I saw Adam Saad, gees talk about lose! 

    Harry Mc Kay will cost Carltank a Grand Final one day with his shocking kicking for goal!! Oh hang on, they wont even make the 8!😇

    Richmond > Carlton that's all there is to this. Tigers winning a few games is fine, they've suffered alot.

    I'm surprised coaches don't put a stop to celebrations like it due to injury risks TBH.
    Remember Roos ripped Petracca a new one for doin' his ankle playin' basketball.

    All in all a good night last night.  Happy for Yze.

    Another way to look at it is if Collingwood for some reason no longer existed, Carlton would be ‘it’.

    Even if we get spanked on Sunday, its nowhere near a bad as losing to Richmond.

    I agree 100% with such morbid sentiments 😁 Worst Carlton game I have watched for many years 🤮 Voss doesn't have it what it takes, I like the guy, legend of a player, not cut out to be a senior AFL coach with the style of football played today.

    I would have waited till we played Richmond before making that statement.

    do you think it's the style of football or the players available?

    i just don't see baggers outside that clutch of sides 5-14, of which i see the mfc in too

    Lynch was very important for the Tiges last night.  Played his role like a proper forward (in front, competed hard, made position and led well) Didn't star but he played a very important role

    So if AJ gets the nod on Sunday we'll need him to play a similar role (as well as doing the 2nd ruck duties)

    I've got JVR up at CHF as he's got untapped ability with regards to creativity.  Turner as the possible 3rd forward with Fritsch as the opportunist (that's what he is good at)

    A bit of both.

    Voss seems incapable of meaningful in game responsive changes and can't seem to breakout out of the straightjacket of the contested and stoppage game he understands to evolve into the modern game played today. To be a genuine top 4 contender this Carlton list also needs another quality tall defender and a quality small forward.

    Agreed that the Blues are a 5 to 14 side.

    I honestly believe a more capable coaching team with a few minor list changes could get this side a flag. It won't happen under Michael Voss.

    I didn't hear that, though he talked it about it last year as emerging trend (was 3 of 4 then).

    I would be be very surprised if he said the inside 50 count was not a factor.

    I only had 'half and ear' to the conversation. Whately (?) asked Hoyne about the importance of I50's cf ball movement and Hoyne gave the example of last year's GF where the Swans had only two fewer I50's (49-51) but lost by 10 goals.

    Whately then asked who you'd draft first - a good mid-fielder (clearance player) or a good half back. 

    I don't think Hoyne gave a definitive answer (both equally important, or have their role).

    BTW I don't know what 'ball movement ' means, or how you measure it. Scores from transition from your back half?

    Carlton has a lot of ordinary players.

    And they have lost 8 of their last 10 games with their 2 wins being against North and West Coast.

    McGovern, Haynes, Cowan, Saad, Acres, Kemp, Cottrell, Williams are not up to it for senior players.

    The look at the young guys Lord, Motlop, Fogarty, Evans, Camporeale - average but early days

    As for McKay - gosh he's hopeless

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
