It's our home game. They have 7 outs. We are injury depleted but have won a lot of contested football this year - one of Richmond's achilles heels.

It's a beautiful winters day here in Melbourne - bright blue sky, no wind and qwuite warm in the sun. I'm tipping Melbourne.

Go Dees!

 

Will be stoked if we win this. Cannot see how we'll kick a winning score though.

Clark is without doubt our most important player.

Quietly confident about today but have to agree.

Someone needs to step up in the forward line both on the scoreboard and with forward 50 pressure.

We can only beat Richmond & Essendon at the 'G so i am expecting today.

One day we will learn to win away from the womb.


I'm hoping Dunn can lead from the square to drag at least 1 defender out of the FF line so Garland and/or Rivers can have a decent poke at taking a grab.

Would love to see Howe swing in behid from the opposite flank to get some space to time a run at a hanger as well.

If all else fails, Dunn kicking for goal from 40-55m isn't that bad an option either.

We'll see.

Sylvia needs to continue improving and bag 3 or 4 if we are gonna win. Garland and Dunn for a couple each and some midfield goals Howe Jones the Jack attack and we will manage... Kicking a winning score does look unlikley though :(

GO DEES

I'm really hoping that Neeld doesn't do with Watts what he did last week and put him on Riewoldt. More because he and Chip have great duals and Chip usually comes out on top, I'd really like to see Watts be given a bit of freedom to move forward a bit and make someone accountable on him.

Also want to see Howe played forward, we need marking targets in the 50 and he can make bad kicks work for him.
 

Took North and Melbourne in a double.......Kangaroos giving it to WC atm.....heres hoping!

Absolutely insipid. That "chase" from Bennell through the middle of the ground was pathetic. 1st quarter and he's giving it the token jog.

Come on Dees!!!!!!!


Rivers is not a forward, Rivers is not a forward, Rivers is not a forward.....

Great goal Sam!!


15 rounds in and we look MORE unorganized than we did at the start of the year.

Shouldn't we be further advanced in learning the gameplan etc by now?

This is disgraceful.

 

Lost cause with players with no skill, decision making or workrate. Stef Martin and spencer are double face palm worthy.

  • 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.
