Vent your Spleen

Mentally weak,lazy footballers.The platitudes of coach,injuries and bad luck still do not excuse lazy footballers without ticker.

The second efforts and watching players decide another team mate is closer to the contest is woeful.Not willing to work hard enough when pressure is applied is sickening.Pea hearts.

Definitely a culture issue.MFC excel at it.

 

I am sick & tired of going each week (or watching on TV) to see our our side contiually pushed aside by other sides who we should be able to go toe to toe with.

How the hell does a side who beats a side by 90pts (GC) to see them get thumped by 50 pts (WCE) to the beat a side by 96pts (Adel) and then get thumped by 40pts (NM) after being 4 goals up late in the first quater. The only thing I can put it down to is lazy soft minded players. As the old saying goes "footy is played 90% above the shoulders". Lazy lazy footballers who will not push across the ground to help out other teammates, lazy footballers who will not tackle hard - who get swept aside to easily. Lazy footballers who do not stand up against a side who is coming hard at our team, who allow a team who KNOWS that they have our measure to bully us like they do (lost last 9 matches against NM).

This has to stop. The excuses have to stop. Yes, we are young and still building our team, but that does not allow us to serve up weak crap like that. We have to weed out the weak minded and the players who are not prepared to put their body on the line time after time and the players who will not do the gut running that has to be done to be a top 4 team

IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

I dont say this lightly - but in the last few weeks I have been wondering if Dean is the man to coach us from next year onwards. Im not saying that he should go at the moment - not a fan of sacking a coach mid year. But, again - im wondering if Dean is the coach to take this group further - maybe he has gone as far as he can??

  • 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.
