The Weid has kicked 2

That’s a positive for me

One of them was a gift from that fat explosive guy wearing number 5.

    The make shift backline being ordinary is hardly a surprise. 

    Nor is a shock that Preuss is going to take a while to build his tank.

    The bigger shame is that we’re still making system mistakes.

    - Bombing it forward under little pressure.

    - 2 defenders on to 1 opponent with no impact.

    There’s a bunch of maturing limited players who have shown no improvement as well. Oscar, Frost, ANB, Hunt all bad.

    Yeah. Was hoping to see just a few in and under type things. Tough to do in a half I guess.


    Hunt and stretch not up to it either

    Not as key cogs in a side, though.  Allow them to be role players again and they'll do their job well.

    Wouldn’t say they do their job well.

    Stretch can’t kick and Hunt is not much better


    3 goals in 4 mins

    I like Preuss as a second ruck to Gawn but  as I’ve been saying for months we need another ruck option to cover injuries.

    Keilty has been serviceable, Pedersen would be handy but we need another genuine ruck.

    One player who I reckon has sewn up a spot in Round 1, if he hadn't already, is Fritsch.  He's had a great day.

    • 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.
