    What’s happened to Petty’s marking? Seems to be misjudging the flight of the ball.

    His marking has been very strong the last few weeks, same as Keilty

    Dunno what’s going on with both of them

    Troy Chaplin is what’s going on with them.

    Keilty was clunking everything that came his way the last 2 weeks

    Dunno what’s happening today

    Big difference in foot skills. Chandler the only one to maybe get excited about at this stage.

    Gotta be the wind, all our players going up 2 secs too early

    This looks like a complete training drill for the Hawks

    Our easy exits from defensive 50 are an embarrassment at both afl and vfl level - really sub-standard defensive efforts

    2 goals 2 for the quarter with the breeze compared to 4 goals 2 into it...not good!

    They look as bad as the seniors

    Bombing it forward, shambles in defence. Look like our 1sts.

    Chandler and Stretch the only 2 having a go the rest are pathetic. If Smith could kick he might be a good player.

    have never really understood why we exclusively play the same gameplan at VFL as at AFL.

    Sure play it for a half or every second game ...but experiment !!!

    Frankly at VFL level the chaos theory is more of a scrum that does not encourage skills

    So far In: Preuss, Stretch

    Out: T.Mac (if injured) (if not) O.Mac and ANB.

    I can't believe O.Mac gets another game due to this performance.

    Is Chaplin the worst coach in history? Must be close.

    Stretch has been killing it. Showing genuine speed. I'd bring him in for KK.

    Hawks run & carry (able to link up more often with quick ball movement) and have more players capable of side stepping / baulking or turning their opponents to run into space or switch play.  They are more fleet of foot also.  We have mostly slow/pedestrian plodders in comparison.

    They are also hitting so many more targets by foot and finishing in front of goal beautifully.

    have to remember that the Casey team is almost unrecognizable from that which played last year. I'd love KC to give us the numbers but it's probably 50% turnover if not more.

    What the hell was Hore doing? Left his man and allowed him to take an easy. Woeful recruit go back to Collingwood!

    Baker not showing much, pity.

    • 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.
