Stringer looks lean, fit and angry and could make a massive difference if they make finals. The Bummers absolutely stuffed up his training and fitness management. GWS looking potent v the Cats.

    Absolutely he’s fitness. Thus the good kicks in pressure situations

    Playing beyond Fatigue and still nailing a kick, Mark or Handball

    That’s Fitness Dub….

    Cats are playing horribly. After 4 early goals they’ve kicked 2 in 2 quarters

    Does play some part but the majority of kicking is skill. A lot of it you’re born with like Rankine, Dawson etc and the rest is junior coaching

    Their skills in the first half before major fatigue was unbelievably good

    And Cadman beginning to fulfill his potential.

    Frightening duo.

    I agree. But after Halftime is when the Burgess Training shines

    Players can still execute to a high level without fatigue

    It’s exactly what the MFC lack right now.

    That 1-2% of extra Fitness we had as a list in ‘21

    Adelaide are a serious chance at a Flag this year….

    The Club tried very hard to get Cadman, but it was impossible….

    How did the Giants land the #1 Draft pick Cadman?

    Can't blame the Bummers fitness dept.
    He only got himself fit during contract years.
    Same at the bulldogs.

    If Freo win tonight there will be 6 teams on 44 points. one of which is outside the eight

    outside the 8 with 11 wins with 6 games to go!

    14 (maybe 15) wins is a minimum for finals this year!

    They gave up pick 3, 12 and a second rounder in a huge trade involving JHF and Rioli

    Is every game going to have dominant big men kicking 6 goals?

    Looks like it's finally clicked for Cadman. Good for him, it's exciting to see.

    Hopefully Jeffo takes a leaf or two out of his book.

    The thing that [censored] me about this is the AFL have endorsed this kind of action (ref. Pendlebury let off for striking Lachie Neale in the solar plexus with open palm in recent years, etc.).

    Now a similar action has led to a player suffering a collapsed lung. Striking is striking, irrespective of whether it is via fist or palm. Well done AFL, this is on you.

    Wish the Dees had a youngster like Cadman. Just looks like a player. A footballer. A goalkicker. Somehow we have to get a key forward one day who just looks like he knows what the game is about.

    Check your sums again, grasshopper.

    If Freo wins, the Bulldogs will be in 9th spot on 40 points.

    • 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.
