We are an average team trying to play like millionaires. Get the ball forward, keep it in there, and run both ways. Our forwards are allowing the transition.

 

Gee, Kent is a disappointing footballer. So lazy. One handed grab casually through the middle.

Defence is woeful. 

Hardly surprising

Dawes is utterly useless.


[censored] Dawes off. Just [censored] him off. He is a joke!

Dawes is astonishing.

Football. Foot to ball.

 

Seems pretty simple.

 

Listening on the radio - sounds like the Dawes show is going to script? 

What a lemon 

Seriously, this thread is a disgrace.  To those using this as their updates because they can't watch - both sides are over using it, both sides have dropped marks because of the rain and both sides have kicked a couple.  If we make ONE mistake on here 15 posters go ape.  Just settle.

Yeah we are playing quality footy

We are playing well. But we're 1 point in front.

For all the domination, we concede shitty goals from [censored] mistakes, and don't score due to mistakes as well. 

Wise we are playing ok, but if we stopped handballing it especially when we can get it long into the f50 we would be in a better position. 

So many dumb handballs kill us. The one in the centre after a turn over means a long kick in equals at worst a one on one.

Struth Its hard to read the C@##$P on nhere, awful conditions and we are having a real dip....Grow up

i think we're doing some things well - attack on the ball, and the ball-carrier - and other things poorly - disposal, kicking to the 'right' spots, being the favourites of the maggots, etc.

Hogan great mark and dumb kick.  Good first quarter team effort.

Not he only one mate. We've handled the conditions well so far. Big breeze across the ground and extremely slippery.

Reading here you'd think we're down by 10 goals already.

Never said quality.  Said okay.  Anyone would think we're behind by 10 goals going by this thread.

Granted, I'm not watching, but these threads always feel like they are focused on the mistakes and then spontaneously celebrate goals, then revert back to the mistakes.

Surely if we're winning at quarter time, +18 in disposals, +13 CPs, +1 clearances, +1 tackles and +9 inside 50s, we must be doing something right?

  • 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.
