I knew when we weren’t converting at the start of the 3rd we were done. They’ve had 6 inside 50s for 5 goals, went way too tall for the conditions and our midfield is letting them get simple kicks in there. 

Absolutely disgusting efforts inside our forward 50 all night, TMac has been awful, Weiderman (who simply HAD to kick his) mostly unsighted, Melksham continues to look off the pace, and Petracca mostly useless. 

But ultimately our deficiencies in defence has made this an ugly night. There’s no logical set up, no one marshalling the troops into position, they look like headless chooks. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more [censored] off with such a pathetic effort.

    Next week’s game will be one for the highlights reel ?

    We have the worst defence in the league. It’s not just the personnel it’s the structures. 

    Every time Geelong goes forward it’s like a sunny day with a dry ball.

    Annoying. But hardly the difference.

    It does not include the ones we should have been paid.

    Going to be a very long season.

    At least three games shorter than 2018.

    The bastards pump us up, give us hope then serve up garbage.

    We've kicked 27 points across the last 4 quarters.

    If you include the PF, we're looking at 4 full goalless quarters.

    In our past 3 matches, we've gone the equivalent of an entire match without a goal.

    And that's with 1 quarter left to play.

    We have been found out and we refused to analyse where it started

    Well let’s be honest. 

    At Half Time in Last Years Preliminary Final, we were Goalless, but the coach refused to review it. 

    I would have spent weeks pulling that game apart

    I bet lots of other Clubs took a very close look at it. 

    Over to you Goodwin....

    He doesn't own the responsibility. Even last week... let's blame something else .

    You can understand the team being underdone re fitness but what's the excuse about poor basic skills & bad decision making?

    Geelong are just so crisp & accurate even with a team of so many new players in bad conditions.

    One prelim finals appearance in god knows how long and yep, that'll do us...

    Who's job ?

    Sucks that we always have to play down at this s-$#hole place.  Unfair. When did Filth last play here?

    Sack Goodwin.  Everything that's gone wrong was blindingly obvious last season and he did nothing to fix it. 

    No chance he’s going to be sacked, but seriously there needs to be a plan B. At the moment we’re down on pace and skill. Team selection needs to be about team balance. Last year we had Tyson on the wing. Now it’s Jones. Chunk has a lot of heart but he has never ever been fleet of foot.

    Jade Rawlings leaving is evident.

     

    Siren and heads down. I hate asking this question but where is the leadership from Jones? At least Viney had a crack early

    • 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.
