Effort is there.

 

Just some polish and we can absolutely win this.

    Surprised they're not finding a way to pay frees against us. 

    Unbelievable eh

    There's that last-second goal concession that we all knew was coming… 

    I spoke too soon. He's missed it. He's missed everything. That's very big for our confidence (mine at least) that we go in ahead at the break.

    It’s amazing how Dangerfield can scoop / throw out the ball right in front of an umpire and it’s play on.

    Think we will loose this unfortuanlty, have all the footy but kicking behinds and kicking it with pinpoint accuracy to their defenders

    My gut feel is similar. It has the makings of one of those games. The Port game, The North game last year, hell even the Freo game in 2002 where we led slightly at half time and Farmer daggered us on the siren.

    Man I hope I'm wrong

    Yet we can handball...and get pinged for throwing !!

    It's the Belmont effect !! ?

    Or how Tuohy can fend off a tackler, turn 180 degrees, take a step and then get nailed and he's had no prior opportunity.

    Considerable difference in interpretation on tackles. Shame the umpires can't mute the crowd sound

    We are still long bombing into the forward 50. Doesn't work on the narrow Geelong ground. LOWER THE EYES!

    Belmont? But I agree interesting what Danger gets away with and the snickey ruck nomination in front of goal was a classic. We just have to be aware that they are sly bastards. Rule needs to be changed.

    Harmes to Danger or Lewis to injure him. Pick an option.

    Being the usual enigma that he is 

    I feel like I haven’t even seen him at all.. not injured or anything? 


    We need to keep the effort and we're a chance. Try to go through the middle more and take our chances. Do we move Harmes onto Danger or keep Selwood under control?

    Hate mentioning it...does Chunk EVER look where he's kicking ?? Ffs ...kills momentum and effort

     

    Loving the effort, loving the pressure and loving the fact that, in hostile territory, we are more than serving it up to the enemy.

    We are right in this contest, and if we can keep the scoreboard pressure up then a win is there for the taking!

    • 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.
