One of the key reasons structured defensive footy like the Eagles' doesn't win in 2016, is because teams are moving the ball so quickly. The Eagles can't set up their defensive structures.

    I thought they made a big show a couple of seasons ago of saying they were going to fine players or award free kicks for staging. Whatever happened to that?

    Wait for it when we do our first obvious stage. I think we are the most paid against for deliberate out of bounds. Some of them have been absolute shockers.

    The guy has a shocking attitude. Came in full view in last years final versus North Melbourne. The bloke wasn't even trying.

    Jetta looks a shadow of his best days at the Swans.

    Watch Everitt at about the 25 minute mark of the last quarter. Drops his third simple mark for the quarter, doesn't chase or put pressure on and then puts up his hand as if to say sorry.

    If Bolton is fair dinkum he is out next week.

    And after all his whinging about that meanie Paul Roos for playing him in defence last year, when all he wanted to do was lazily hang in the forward line waiting for the midfield to do all the work for him. After all, didn't Bucks promise Howe that his defending days were over at the Pies?

    Dear oh dear, we have sold them a lemon! :roos:

    Their supporters are waking up to it too.They're not too happy with their boom recruits Howe and Treloar.

    Given the players they're now missing, not sure he can do much more than he's doing. The group does look disillusioned though.

    Nope. Next week the Doggies will look at the sun, get scared that something so big and bright could exist, and lose.

    Defender had his head ripped off, nothing.

    Thompson grabbed the ball, tackled by two straight away - holding the ball.

    Stringer runs with the ball, tackled, ball dropped - play on.

    20-5 dogs way, the crows captain should approach the umpires at the break and have a quiet word to them and ask what odds they got on tonight's game.

    Blatantly against the crows tonight.

    Adelaide have had a shocking run this year, but how many years have they got a dream run with the umps over in SA? The answer is many.

    • 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.
