This is a much better start to the game than when we played them here last year.

Only 5 points down at quarter time - 2.4.16 to 3.3.21.

Good to see a couple of goals on the board before half time.

    Hi, can anyone from a more civilised state give me some highlights as we go - I've just got stats to look at at the moment.

    Looking at them -

    Davey doing his thing while Jones, Mclean and Moloney are doing theirs. I'd be guessing that we are getting it forward occassionally but not to great scoring positions.

    A lot closer than we all feared it would be. Did my eyes tell me the truth? Were we actually in front for a few minutes late in the first quarter?

    Robbo's had a few shots already, which is nice coming back from such a long lay off. Have any hit the post yet? :)

    What's with Dunn, Jones and Morton getting the hit outs, by the way?

    Half time & it's 4.6.30 to 9.8.62.

    They're better than us and much cleaner in their use of the footy. Winning in the midfield and have the class up forward. We're pretty ordinary up forward and have no real focal point.

    Still, if we had a score of 4.6.30 last week at half time ...

    At least this is not going to be another 116 point pasting!

    Yeah all in all its was okay in the end, BUT bate is so frustrating.

    No goals and 1 point. Kicked out on the full twice.

    I know he is a good player and that is the frustrating thing. We needs some class in our midfield ASAP. We cannot kick the footy.

    Okay positives.

    Morton was good again 27 and 1 goal.

    Maric was good.

    Sylvia 8 tackles.

    Frawley good again.

    Bartram went in hard.

    Thank god for inaccurate kicking at goal by Geelong. But on a positive note we outscored them in the last qtr and matched them in the first qtr.

    Maric good?????

    Was selfish at times and has little courage... will need to improve a lot...

    Dunn's lack of courage and footy smarts is terrible and bate should suffer newtons fate surely... he has had 5 shockers and newton had one!!!

    Maric was good.

    You are joking. Just got home from the game. He and Bate stood out for their atrocious games.

    Maric would be devastated with his performance today. Every one of his few possessions except one went straight to a Cats player. I had him down for 4 Cats goals. Hopefully it was just a bad game for him.

    A lot of positives:

    Sylvia tried hard and attacked the ball more

    Martin in attack worked nicely.

    Maric was woeful though, the composure and skill he has shown just wasn't there.

    • 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.
