Brisbane playing out of their skin and we are average... yet we're just 8 points down.  Goes to show how much better we can be, and how good we are even when we're not on.

I read the forum before checking the score. I presumed we were down by 40+ points...

 

Brayshaw! God his kicking is frustrating.

Backline is complete trash 

Oliver on Hipwood. How are we constantly out of position like that? Where’s May?

Mids can’t hit a target except Salem. 

 

[censored] I wish Brayshaw could kick!


Joel Smith has had a positive second term.  Great goal on the run and some good pressure forward.  Anyone think he is a legit chance for Round 1?

    Frustrating is overstating it

    Edit ... should I eat my words on that goal... hmmm

    Agreed Travis. J Smith thinks he's a world beater, he's about 4/5th in line when it comes to our tall forwards.

    I'd like to see Weed get more aggressive though, and tell him to keep out of his space.

    We were half way there before we decided to play some football GB.

    Does some really dumb things however also has some elite attributes. 

    I hope he makes our round 1 team.

    We are two points down.  But, apparently, our backline is trash, they're running rings around us and we are stinking it up completely.  Can't wait to see when we're on, we'll win games by 150 points.

    What happened to the holding the ball rule?

    JHK walking in the rooms. Great news.

    Hasn't done anything dumb today in my book.  Looks terrific out there across half forward.

    J Smith is an athlete with a poor football brain. He does some nice things, but mostly just impedes our other tall forwards and flies for marks he'll never take and removes himself from the contest by being unable to follow up defensible. He's got some good attributes, but he's depth at best IMO.

    • 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.
