The Good

Jones.

Stef Martin.

Matthew Bate.

Our physical effort (with some horrible exceptions)

The Bad

Ability to keep it inside our forward 50

Our handball to a close, stationary target, where a Hawks player swoops in on the run and they carry it forward with ease.

Hawthorn's uncontested possession count.

Brad Green has to stop flying for marks that spoil his team mates clear advantage in a marking contest.

The Ugly

Fumbling. Even the smooth, efficient kills of Trengove were fumbly today.

Unforced turnovers. Maric did a shocker on the southern half forward line near the boundary but there were many of these.

Marking targets inside 50

    Good was me tossing the coin.

    Bad was everything after the toss of the coin.

    Ugly was Garland being out bodied by rioli!

    Our physical effort (with some horrible exceptions) I think these can be put down to Fitness, maturity & desire.

    Marking targets inside 50 Trenners looked out of sorts and can only imagine its after a hard week in Darwin. Maric needs to be a lot fitter, engine wise. 2 inside 50 players aren't currently up to it.

    Ugly -the reverse goal given against us (effectively 2 goals) Most openly ridiculed by all commentators.

    The start-again ,Get the smelling salts out and get them to slap each other in the face before running out or the other team will .(5 goals) and get an espresso machine down there .3 doubles each then go get em .

    The match-ups .Garland on Rioli was ridiculous. (3-6 goals)

    Bad

    Gysberts cannot run out 4 quarters yet .

    Green-bad year -needs a run on the ball or behind it .

    The obvious four champs killed us from Hawthorn

    Ball handling and disposal apart from Howe ,Nicholson and Petterd

    Good

    Bates having a dip

    The rise and rise of Stef

    Lord Howe

    We dont have to pay Col half a mill a year for already costly ,consistent turnovers .

    • 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.
