Keilty has had a shocker. I'd love to see him in for Drunkin's sake but he's way off the pace ATM.

To be fair this is probably the worse I’ve seen him play in 2 years

For whatever reason couldn’t hold anything today

Injured I think 


I have to admit Maynard hasn't been too bad. Smith won't make it as a footballer can't kick.

Been hard to watch on TV. Not too many winners out there for Casey.

Chandler is interesting, will see what the next few weeks look like. Maybe we have found a player in Chandler.

Stretch plays against the Swans.

I hate to say it but I don't think the club is going to find it too hard to open up list spots ahead of next season. 

 

Its a repeat of what we see at Senior level.

- Too many players going for a contest, balls spills free, swept away by Hawks and delivered beautifully by foot

- Hawks can take a mark, we are devoid of players that can mark

- uncontested possessions we are being creamed

- players doing basic things wrong, like being on the wrong side of a contest, covering space not a man, short handballs to a manunder pressure. 

It's pretty demoralising watching this knowing that there is no-one other than maybe Stretch who will come into the senior side.

Our coaching staff at Demon HQ and Casey seem to be on the same page, it's just the wrong page.

wtf Dec

Cant mark anything all day but takes that one handed......


Too short a break for Stretch ?? Just asking

If stretch played 4 quarters he would be unlikely for Thursday. 

1.10 in the second half

This is not a pleasant thread to read.

But it has to be remembered that we do have another 10 players who are injured and so didn't play at AFL or VFL level.

I'd have each of May, Lewis, vandenBerg, Hannan and Lever in the side whilst Garlett, Spargo, J Smith and JKH would have to be thereabouts given the 22 we fielded on Friday night.

So yes, we've obviously had a stinker of a day at Casey, but it's not like Casey is reflective of the entirety of our club's depth.


As bad as Casey have been, I think people need to get a grip and look at our injury list. Of course we are weak atm. Half the list is injured. Pretty unfair to judge them on this effort.

Wow bad kicking again. Doesn't anyone want to play next week against sydney? Good to see Maxy there supporting the boys. I presume goody was there to

Goody was there

A nightmare

BEDFORD - Unsighted

STRETCH - Silky BOG for the dees but has he done enough to get ahead of love child ANB. He was better last week.

MAYNARD - OK game but can do better.

JORDON - Overrawed

SPARROW - Little to be enthused about.

BAKER - 1 tackle that was about it.

HORE - Worst player in the league.

PETTY - Woeful game then injured.

GARLETT - Typical Garlett game nowhere to be seen for the majority of the game.

CHANDLER - Done everything right looks a beauty hold your head high son.

T.SMITH - Tried hard but can't kick.

KEILTY - Unsighted woeful game.

Fair enough...but how do you excuse plainly poor football skills ? 

That's nothing imho ever to do with injury etc. You either can...or you can't. Seems plenty can't.

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

All of this is a coaching issue rather than a player issue, surely?

How did that fellow Garlett go , the one that everyone wants back in the senior team?

Yep...the dividends of design ;)

 

Some player stats.

Billy stretch 20 disposals 7 tackles.

Toby bedford 14 disposala 9 tackles.

Kade Chandler 14 disposals 7 tackles 2 goals.

Corey Maynard 27 disposals 17 tackles.

Tom Sparrow 11 disposals 6 tackles 

James Jordan 10 disposals 2 tackles

It appears that across the board, our coaching staff do not seem to self-reflect, self-evaluate, speak their minds and actions, nor bring out the individual and team understandings of role, functions and execution because surely, BH Hawks just cannot be that good? We know, already, that Port and Essendon were not that good, either! Geelong - always ready for anything at this time of the year. Seems as though the MFC 'steam engine for the rest of the season' theory has run out of water!

  • 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.
