Think the most disappointing thing about this game so far for mine...

... is all those empty seats!

We'll get back on track. I have faith.

30 degrees at the MCG.... fitness will be a big factor in this second half

My MFCSS tells me we're not the fitter side.

Hope our skills make up the difference

Feels strange sitting at the G watching the footy and wearing a singlet.

Sorry Eddie, it’s not a very silvertail singlet either.

Cmon Dees, get your system back.

    How many times have we seen an NQR Viney come back too early in the last few seasons?

    Can't say I am surprised. We looked exactly the same in the JLT. We look very one paced in the midfield.

    Still in it. Just need to start being a bit cleaner with the ball and get it back on our terms.

    Yeah been pleasantly surprised about Sparrow, thought he'd take time settling in VFL before debuting.

    Has not looked out of place.

    Off track may be part of the issue.  The Met off track that is.  

    Imagine the prospect instead of a crowded train after the game, a bus ... how many will be needed and how many will be available.  

    I know people who did not come for that reason.

    We’ve had a great run with the umpires.

    Thought they've been generally poor overall, despite the numerous rule changes and clarifications

    If we can't win with them playing J. Watts in the backline then I'll be really worried. Only a kick in it and we've not played well with lots of the side down. C'mon lads lift.


    Gawn should come out for the first ruck contest stick the leg in and win the contest. 

    Im sure Goodwin will structure us back on track. 

    Big big 3rd quarter coming up

    18 frees to 8 our way. Once the eveners start getting paid we might find ourselves in some trouble. Our guys look very tired already and they are fresh. Not great after the first 15 mins. 

     

    Time to lift boys 

    It's probably even already from when we last played in Adelaide

    Harmes just had a spew on the field when he came out after half time

    That's a good omen he's sick to his stomach with what we dished up that half.


    Great kick from Trac, and smart from Melksham.  Let the captain kick the goal to get us going.

    • 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.
