Hard to see th Dees winning a game this year. Shameful. I'm dubious about Neeld and Craig.

 
 

I'm no idiot but I just do not understand the inconsistencies with HTB decisions these days.


So mitchell plays on has prior opp gets grabbed amazing

Mitchell just scored a touchdown....play on!!
 

Beautiful pass from McDonald... hit that Hawks player right on the chest directly in front.

No good teaching game plans, direction of play, how to negate etc etc etc if we dont get the pill. And when we do get it, who can the whole club actually rely on, to deliver it in some positive manner to a team mate? Our disposal skills are the worst I have ever seen at AFL/VFL in over 40 years. Our ability to gut run are actually non existent. We need a shrink to get into our players minds to activate them. They look so lazy it hurts.


Surely the skills of Watts and Jurrah cant go astray amongst this lot!

This [censored] me off. He's taking his kick and Buddy hacks his arm as he's dropping it. Buddy was standing behind him. WTF?

I wonder what improvement Neeld will find in this flogging.

Looks like the team has no confidence in themselves, the coach or the game plan. No energy out there, no passion, no comradery. We look hopeless

This is as bad as I gets.

Yep, let's rest rioli, hodge, Gibson, turn it on for 20 minutes and then coast. This establishment is spiritless .

The McDonald curse.

Their skills aren't the problem, it's their men running off them that causes the issue and neither of them can tackle or get a hard ball. I don't think either of them would have helped us tonight in their current form.

Simply put, how can other teams get so much cheap ball. Meanwhile whenever we have it, there are no options and we rely on someone pulling in a big pack mark or outworking a couple of opposition players at once, which is completely unsustainable.

  • 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.
