May takes command and marshals a stout defence. Max and the midfield show up with a chip on their shoulders and play fast and aggressive. Forward line shows up as AJ crashes packs, mayhem ensues, creating openings for Melk, JVR and (I pray) fritta.

Dees by 4 goals.

All 50 of us who will be at the G are in for a show.

    I was so fuc%ing glad to see Carlton loose. Takes the pressure off us to rebound (or maybe the pressure off us supporters)

    For what it's worth I think we will win. We play the G better than the Suns and I'm backing JVR to do what chin did and have an elite game. Let's fuc$ing go Dees

    You're kidding, right?

    The media actually digging into our shocking gamestyle would be a good thing. We don't need the shield.

    I'm taking the kids along

    We're hopeful but not confident

    Surely there will be a strong response after last weeks horror show

    You'd rather lose and justify to yourself our gamesyle is no good than win against an up and coming side where our gamestyle holds up?

    Dees WILL WIN by 17 points!

    • Our home ground

    • Suns not 'match fit' - no games played this season; the round 1 training/practice game vs WCE doesn't count.

    • Backs-to-the-wall demons will come out fighting like rnd 23, 2024

    Stage set for a mighty come back by our beloved demons!

    We've lost Lever since I posted the above yesterday but TMac comes in.

    Play with grit and intent for 4 quarters and I still think we win !!!

    Hopefully the lads are over the illness that spread through the group last week and are fresh and raring to go. Gawn and Petracca especially with a point to prove. We may not win this one, but we'll definitely have a crack like we did with GWS. Dees by 3 points!

    Historically, the Dees thrive when expectations are low and, well… expectations are low.

    Melbourne by 25.

    You mean Suns not match fit like Tom Green who with 35 possies was the leader in our game against the Giants.

    Hope you are right though, this is now a seriously important game for us to get our season going, or possibly watch it fall away early, with the Cats at Cotton On Park next friday.

    Did they not do their homework or pickup their mess ??

    The irony is we were the team without match fitness against GWS, let Green dominate and surrendered the game.

    Every chance GCS are that team today.

    We need to curb the play makers like Green.

    Tactically, today I think it will be Rowell especially at CB and fwd half stoppages. A job for Viney and or Swallow ...

    We also need tactics to stop Mac Andrew copying Comben last week (@Demonstone please note spelling 😁). A good decoy job for Melksham and tell the players to ignore Melksham and keep Andrew away from the play to not intercept.

    Last quarter fade outs have been our undoing for nearly a year. I truly think that if there are no passengers we have good tactics and we play the full 4 qtrs we will win ... Is that asking too much ... 🤔

    • 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.
