So far, at least, things seem even, or maybe tending slightly in our favour, around the ground, but we're just useless at generating scoring shots.

 

Well done, Tommy Mac.
 

Jesus, Terlich is still a turn over machine.

That's weird. Not saying he doesn't turnover but he doesn't even register on the clanger stats. The Jones boy leads that stat until this round.

No goals with the wind...time for a beer!


Dom Tyson is keeping us in the game.

Hopefull Tyson does for us what players do to us once they leave...
 

Quarter Time - GWS 1.2.8, MFC 0.2.2.

2 behinds, 2 scoring shots, and apparently we had the wind. Hopefully it's not that big of a breeze.

Statistics (GWS-MFC):

Disposals - 86-92
Clearances - 10-8
Inside 50s - 10-9
Contested possessions - 25-33
Tackles - 22-17

Tyson and McDonald very good. Frawley looks alright up forward


No touches for Scully yet.

Matt Jones is also a turn over machine. As is Grimes. It's no wonder we get scored against heavily. They all play off the back flank. If you turn it over there, it's coming back quickly.


I don't care if the they keep making mistakes as long as the keep the workrate up

Need a lot more booze for this game - but surely the results will come if they keep up the effort?

Every time Terlich, Evans or Pedersen seem to get the ball, we turn it over.

Every team turns it over Titan. I would rather see us take more risks and run/carry overlap play the game than the possession obsession of the last 2 weeks. It's what happens after we turn it over that is the problem. Top teams don't worry about it so much or drop their heads (stop chasing/harrassing/picking up loose men etc) like some of our blokes do. If we do this better we will create more turnovers ourselves and get the ball back again.

Our other major problem, which is very obvious for everyone, what we do with it when we cause a turnover. Most teams tend to score against us too easily from turnovers. We struggle to score from any turnovers atm. I suspect having no targets or goal kicking power is the main reason along with our usual poor delivery methods i 50

No goals with the wind...time for a beer!

On the radio they said it was very swirly, and probably slightly favouring GWS in the first quarter.

Frustrating, we were actually better around the ground but can't buy a goal. Best chance was when Evans chose to centre it rather than go himself.

Most annoying part was when we had the ball in the 50, won the clearance and handballed backwards and backwards and backwards until we were at the centre square. Someone take it on to kick the goal!

That attempted "tackle" by Watts on Cameron was nothing short of soft and pathetic.

He just has no urgency, none.

if Watts isn't going to show kohunas and desperation today after that pathetic dropped chest mark last week then he just isn't going to make it.

Makes me sad. I saw him dominate in schoolboy team. He has the talent but lacks mental application.

Edited by why you little

 

what's the bet we have a 5 goal breeze right now.

Update sydnee?

No wind advantage. Very swirly

  • 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.
