Some players are having bad games. 

Good. It gives them focus to train out those deficiencies in the coming weeks. 

Video to be studied very closely.

He’ll struggle to get a game this year.

I feel like he'll be on the bubble every game, but won't get dropped once injuries start.

Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

Yes, his disposal hasn't been good so far today, but I'll put it down more to it being the first half of real competitive footy for the year than anything else.  His disposal isn't always that flash regardless.

The Wagners and Hore don’t look up to it.

I thought Hore looked alright myself.

    ANB also very ordinary 

    You are just realising that now?

    Richmond winning in the air and on the ground. Who is 38 for them? Killing us in the air.

    Is number 34 for us Hore?

    He has done ok INHO.

    Poor disposal from gus, nibbler, JKH and stretch hurt us.

    RIchmond spread brilliantly and opened us up. 

    I have not seen Dusty up close before. I now see why he is so hard to stop!


    Steady on guys. Even Winx gets beaten in barrier trials!

    They moved dusty onto the ball that quarter and the whole game changed immediately. 


    that midfield combo of oliver, brayshaw, and harmes with trac and salem coming in would have to be one of the most exciting group of 21-23 year old mids i've seen

    shame gus can't hit a target and trac can't kick a set shot

    they're basically full strength, and when they had the centre square combo of martin, cotchin, prestia plus titch edwards coming in they were so much stronger than the group that we had up against em, which at one stage seemed to include stretch and jkh

    And for all that, we're on level terms at half time.  Funny that.

    Who would have thought that playing two Wagners wouldn’t cancel each other out? 

    Petty looks promising. 

    Oliver quite possibly could be the GOAT.

    Just wait till we add Viney back into the midfield mix with Gawn knocking it down they're throats.  It will be orgasmic to watch.

    I had a feeling that the rotations through the midfield were biting us.

    Richmond were doing their flood dump kick attack that quarter.

    Weeds seemed to get caught under the ball a few times.

    We need that tall option to take the contested marks

    We’ve shown lots of promise for an exciting season ahead for mine

    FMD!! I'm reading some negative [censored]. It's half time in a [censored] JLT match FFS .Settle down lads.

    Bit bitter but optimistic, wouldn't you say?

    There wasn't much else to say about the second quarter. Just sucked. Nothing much more you can say. Noones slitting wrists.

    IDees very ragged and being belted at ground level. And sorry  to say but Petracca looks slow, overweight and not that interested.

    • 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.
