1) Why do we have 2 people tackling the same person or converging on the 1 player so often? They end up knocking it out or hand passing it and we have nobody free to get the ball.

2) Our anticipation is terrible. Almost to the point that we have none. 'If I run over here and pick up this guy, then he will go over there and get him, so he will have to take him and.......crap, that guy at the 50m line has nobody on him"

3) The idea of spreading when gaining possession is not difficult to grasp. Is it?

4) Bennell sucks.

5) We have NO aggression. Grimes got smashed at the end of the 2nd quarter and not 1 player went up and confronted the WC player. Could have given away 50 and it wouldn't have mattered. It was like Grimes got shot and nobody wanted to confront the guy in case they got hurt too. WTF? Where is our 'spunk'? Our 'mongrel'?

6) Leading is just running to a vacant spot. With 2 players inside the 50m line, how is there no space to lead to?

7) Green should be put to pasture.

8) Bring in Strauss, Tapscott and Morton (what the hell).

Exactly why Dustin Martin would have been a good fit at the club and why I miss Angry Phil Read - he was always looking for an excuse that bloke!

  • 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.
