Nope

Do you think they'll let us play the even up rule?
 

2 wrong holding the ball decisions 2 goals to Hawthorn. Umpires making this hard to watch

I don't understand the game anymore

I know we are going to lose.

I know they are going to have 200 more positions than us

I understand!

I am so proud of how we've attacked this game, and can't work out why EVERY decision goes against us.

if we have the ball and it's 50 50, it's holding the ball.

if they have the ball and it's 50 50, it's ball up.

IDENTICAL decision paid differently, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa rk


I don't like blaming umpiring, but this is the worst I have everseen!

Also Sylvia and petterd cannot find the pill!
 

Because he clearly has been our worst thus far

It's Garland who needs a slap!!!

Agree with the first part, disagree with the second. One brain fade by Garland in an otherwise solid performance so far.

Petterd has done nothing, Sylvia has done very little.

Forget it the AFL want us out of the competition like they did with Fitzroy. You only have to look at the umpiring in the last quarter to realise that. I know the signs because i'm ex Fitzroy.


I can't fathom how we can have 100 less possessions already. I know it's against Hawthorn but seriously?

No, we want ourselves out of the competition collecting 100 less possessions in half than our opponent.

Halftime: Haw 8.12.60 Melb 3.5.20

Hawks have 12 players with 10+ disposals to Melb's 1 (Garland)

Hawks have 115 more disposals than us which must be close to a record in a half of footy.

4 first half possies from the talented "game-breaker" Sylvia. Refer to my sig.

Petterd the rare honour of a full first half set of donuts in all stat categories

Mate how many possibilities have there been for Sylvia and Petterd to influence the contest?

When you lose every friggin stoppage and hardly touch the ball through the middle and the backline it's pretty hard for forwards to "do much"...

Petterd clearly didn't get the kick up the ass required during his stint at Casey, well back you go son (hate to say it).

Jeremy Howe seriously needs to work on his set shots.

Ricky has not touched the ball, get him off and get bate on now.

Why can't we get the ball? I just dont understand......

Awful.


Game over!!

I am now 100% convinced the captaincy burden has seriously stunted the growth of Jack Trengove.

Garland very stupid to take on Rioli.

Morton gave away 2 goals that quarter with more stupidity.

We really are a very very sad side.

Brainfades that costly warrant a slap in my opinion. Not a malicious slap, but a switch-the-eff-on slap.

Extremely disappointing quarter. The umpires had nothing to do with our complete drop in intensity. So once again, is it a fitness issue?? Between the ears maybe?

It's almost like at every break the players hear 'Great quarter, we are still in this, now go and play your old structure to show just how crap it is compared to how that went'

 

franklin in starting to carve frawley up, get someone else on him

No, just too much ball in their forward half. He is doing ok in the circumstances.

The application is there. We just gotta believe in Neil Craig & Neeld.

Hawthorn were knackered at half time. Just keep up the intensity boys. LEARN.

  • 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.
