Chalk up another win for Clarko Footy against the Dees. 

West Coast in Perth next week.

Games against Carlton and Hawthorn to come.

We have no idea how to combat the press and break style.

Hawthorn we did beat.

Things are looking up.

Meh, not all that worried about the game style. 

Defensively: We are covering off and zoning well, most of our goals come after horrible turnovers, or poor defensive contests when a defender was there and couldn't make the spoil

In attack: The play out of the backline and through the middle of the ground is showing a method, unfortunately the class isn't there at half back and the midfield work rate isn't top level yet. The forward line entries are our biggest weaknesses and the Clarko style zone defending can catch us out but I think a lack of class across half forward and a lack of confidence in our forwards is the biggest issue.

Forward pressure is probably the area that drives both phases of the game plan that needs the most improvement. 

If we can force more turnovers we will score more and the positive feedback loop there means we will be more confident to attack. We've just held back on that in order to make sure the backline doesn't leak goals.

Clarkson doesn't have any style.

He wanders around like a deranged midget muttering cliches under his breath in his stupid looking track suit with his bucked teeth and his vacant bogan mannerism.

  • 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.
