Thanks Whispering Jack.

King's birthday round may be the deciding factor if we play finals this year. Not the final say if lost but we beat the Saints and then Pies currently on top spot, I think we will be in the final eight. Big call and a huge turnaround but given the players returning to form and the youngsters coming through, an understanding one.

We are playing footy light years away from last year and even earlier than just six weeks ago. To see Fritta, Oliver, Salem and KP and JM all back and showing form, gives us huge cause for hope . Although Fritta has a fair way to go, I think he may be turning the corner. And speaking of turning, Disco continues to delight alongside his mate . We have the unfortunate luxury of managing Tmac. And with Jvr and Jeffo seemingly playing well at Casey last week maybe some selection headaches for a fwd line will soon occur. AJ already doing his bit.

    The proverbial part season of 2 halves

    From the ridiculous to the sublime (not quite sublime but close enough)

    I'll pay sublime the last two games. Your esteemed opinions for the change BDA?

    The fitness change has been obvious but I wonder how in such a short space.

    As mentioned KP and JM huge factors for our scores but there must be more.

    Obviously winning has lifted morale but the blokes look like they care about each other more. The manner goals are celebrated and the sticking up for others.

    Im sure Cwood will try it on and I'm looking forward to our response.

    i think its a case of the work being done on the track for the last 12 months or so finally coming to fruition

    Freo game was a catalyst . it all came together thaks to kossie and Max

    we've growing in confidence and belief in the plan

    i expect plenty more wins this season

    might have left too much to do to get to finals but the season is well and truly alive

    • 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.
