    You’ve given two players a positive review (of sorts) and yet we had two players less for most of the game and went down by four goals. Genuinely clueless assessments

    Bizarre take, unless you’re into participation medals.

    No, I'm into a bit of logic. You should try it.

    If 20 or so players are deemed hopeless, heartless, past it or disinterested, it's impossible for them to lose by 4 goals.

    If you agree with all of those half - baked assessments, do yourself a favour and don't follow the team at all.

    The fact you unironically and legitimately espoused the old “supporters support” line, says enough.

    A whole lot of babble which means nothing.

    Ok, did you think Trent Rivers looked disinterested?

    Umpires - doing HQs job

    oh that ol' chestnut - never seen an umpire take a kick for a player and then miss the teammate or goal.

    This. Thank you @Anti Saint. Could it be that we are a below average side?

    absolutely - we are down the bottom as we have experienced The Premiership Effect, ie, you win a flag and you get cache, as you should.

    But, we are gone.

    Now, it's time for change (Gough Whitlam said that of the loooong-term Liberals).

    While I am on the quotes - "The harder you work, the luckier you get," said Thomas Jefferson.

    We are not working hard enough in many facets on and off the field.

    I read Joeboy for a laugh. This kind of wrong-but-bold commentary is often more entertaining than accurate analysis. There’s something delightfully absurd about reducing a players whole game to three words — especially when it's generally hilariously off the mark.

    I was literally out in the bush today and neither heard nor saw the game ( just as well it seems).

    I always read this thread and appreciate Joeboy being prepared to put it out there, as they say.

    However, @Return to Glory is consistently an insightful and knowledgable poster whose view should be respected.

    Interesting debate.

    @joeboy I should also add that I read your 3 word analysis regularly and do enjoy your work. We all get frustrated with losing and I am no different

    Harsh in Lindsay. No growth on a young man who had a limited pre-season is not fair. He was not seen today, but his growth has been impressive.

    Salem - runs on a treadmill.

    I think demonland has been harsh on Viney I thought along with Gawn, Melksham and Pickett got us back in the game The rest need a good hard look at themselves.

    Can anyone explain what in the world Sparrow’s role is? He’s never looked so poor. I’d take a meat pie and stale chips over Sparrow lately.

    My thoughts exactly Unc.

    I thought Joeboy wasn't far off with his assessment and at first couldn't imagine people could even have 6 players in the votes thread but Return to Glory's post did deviate my thinking slightly on how I evaluated the performances.

    It's ok to have stances questioned, anyone who does it respectfully doesn't demand that you change it. I think it can be confusing because so many people on here don't do that and gaslight you if your take differs slightly to theirs. Appreciate both Joeboy's and RFG's contributions.

    • 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.
