Viney has played only 68% game time.  I expect him to play a bit more in this last term.

We've got it all to do, but we can do it.  I'm backing us in.

    Hunt looking like the player of old.

    Great signs

    The 6.6.6. rule should help jHunt,  and maybe Frost...  and should suit stretch.

    Why we think we can play weid in the ruck and Petracca on the ball is beyond me.

    As I said before the game, if we win we win ugly.

    no consistency.... 3 goals in three minutes and two behinds for the rest of the quarter.

    Simply no midfield pressure


    We have just not been good enough.

    Cannot wait for May to displace Frost from the backline.

    I think we've got this, but it's going to be ugly.

    I reckon we'll kick a few quick ones to start though...

    disappointing effort that quarter. so many players not in the game at all. need to life big time to win this against a pretty ordinary team in port.

    Why would viney kick to Spargo in a one on one

    When he was standing behind his man. 

    Gee looking at our huddle the number of players sitting down haunching over. 

    We need a massive final quarter from everyone. It feels like we are 4 goals behind but its only 8. Come on Melbourne scrap it out

     


    Won’t make finals playing like this never mind flags. Concede the four points today and look at switching things around. Stupid move bringing in Preuss if he wasn’t going to be played, bad mistake from coaching panel

    How many times will TMac and Weidemam get caught jumping at the same ball? Infuriating. 

    Viney calling for it from Salem, then turning it over to give them a goal, was appalling leadership IMO. 

    Geez led like to know the individual tackle count. Not enough Grunt.

    Back to the bruise free stuff.

    Bit better that quarter I suppose but we’ll down. Their kick ins isolate seem precise and to plan and we have a number of midgets unable to match them in the air.


    Cameron Mooney’s comments about the Port 3 qtr time comment interesting.  “Melbournes forwards don’t defend well”  Enough said,

    From the AFL website:

    Superior ball use allowed Port Adelaide to continue to dominate on the outside in the third term. The Power recorded 11 more effective kicks and 25 more uncontested possessions.

    We look absolutely knackered. It's like Port is playing in different conditions. I know some of our boys are a little underdone with game time, but it's not a great look.

    Gotta suck in the big ones this QTR and do what a top 4 team would do/needs to do - take our 4 points.

     

    Leaders really need to stand up this qtr.

     

    Cmon Dees.

    • 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.
