We move it wide to spread the opposition defence then draw it through the corridor forward. Etihad is a smaller ground than the MCG. I would prefer to play them on a bigger ground particularly when they are play 3 talls in Hale, Goldstein and McIntosh.

Have another look at the replay we rarely went right down the guts when we brought the the ball from defence.

Open your blunt eyes- we moved the ball through the centre repeatingly.

    How did we bring it through the defensive zone?

    We took it wide then with waves of running players linking by handball opened the play up to create the ability to then attack through the corridor. And that is why Etihad wont be as favourable as the MCG.

    The irony of using the term "blunt eyes" will no doubt be lost on you JCB. B)

    I thought that Martin should probably go back to 'Casey', to further work on his forward skills,,, but after seeing some of Nth Last night, I think the Russian needs a chop out.

    I think we could also use another elite kick in the team, Strauss,,, but for who?

    I thought the same but we have to keep in mind he earned his spot by consistent BOG'S at Casey and it was is first game back, A show of confidence is needed. Like you said it is also nice to give Jamar a chop out in the ruck. These two can both be quite handy down forward.

    ... that resulted in 80+ 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.
