Maybe Spargo can take our kick outs. Worked for the Dogs.

Maggots conned by Cox .... clearly touched in the marking contest.

Goal.

Dogs severely lacking  forward marking power.

I hate Cox

Unfortunately big cox stood up when called upon.  Was he given the little blue pills at the ¾ time break?

On a perfect night for football, both of these pretenders fail to trouble the scorers. Get out of our way you wastes of space


Doggies wont get close to the 8.    Lack of talent all over the ground, no AFL standard ruckmen,  no depth, carried by McRae and Bontempelli.

Bulldogs weren't playing their frenetic 'chaos' style that has served them so well.

In the first half, both were trying to play the WCE 'control and possession', kick/mark game which the pies used very well to beat tigers a few weeks ago. 

Neither were very good at the WCE style nor confident playing it and spent the first half kick/mark between the 50m arcs. They seemed unaware of the WCE bit that when you get the ball in your fwd half you switch and go fast to fwds set plays/leads.  Both teams were terribly slow going fwd, went backwards and it was terrible to watch.

Neither has sorted out its game plan or implementing it consistently, so will be vulnerable for teams to exploit.  Teams like us, I hope:)

Happy to see Brisbane go 5-0 by knocking off Dons today and Pies next week. Can they do it?

I really don’t get people worrying about how the results of other games are going to help our cause at this stage of the season. Being 15th or 16th after round 4 means Jack Shyzen.

Our job ATM is to string some wins together and not worry about the others.

Of course the bolded bit is right for the actual team,  But as the weeks go by (4 is maybe the minimum) it is of increasing interest to supporters to worry (or rather speculate/hope) about the others. If the other teams initially favoured to be top 8 were all at 4-0 and we were at 1-3 then probably it's not worth hoping for results in other matches (so let your personal hatreds rip), but it certainly helps us recover our position relative to them if the other supposedly top teams are also losing games.

I found the use of Daniels on the last line interesting but on balance I thought that it almost cost them the game. There were multiple occasions when he was isolated with De Goey who luckily for the Bulldogs missed most of his shots on goal.

More particularly however I thought it robbed the Dogs of a key playmaker in the forward half. The Dogs forward delivery was lamentable.

Hard to see them doing much damage if they continue the stop start play of last evening.

Collingwood were saved by Cox...I don't think they will be coming after the Weid. Comments about Moore being "almost elite" were cringeworthy.

Catching up on the game this morning. The filth look extremely getable right now! 

Bring on QB is all I have to say!

it would have been a very lonely time over the last fifty years if you were only interested in the MFC.

As Sue points out also it is the relative positions that count. I cannot recall MFC ever being in a position where it made finals in a demonstrative manner. We have always been last minute Charlies on the few occasions we have graced the grass in September

Come on brisbane beat those bummers today. That would be great

It is a shame the dogs couldn't get over the line last night. In that final term collingwood just found more space and there forward line was more open than the doggies. 

Hope nth lose again tonight and stay on the bottom.

We've been front runners most of that time.  Good when the going is good...   weak when things aren't going for us.  We would pack up shop, too often, too early.

Dangerfield has dropped a GWS player well off the ball. Think it was the same player Dusty dropped last week.

 

Someone needs to check the Ess drink bottles... actually check Brisbane's too !!!

They are well below their best. But they have winners and xfactor across the ground. They are most vulnerable down back, where they are still quite solid. Not sure how much longer Howe lasts though. He squibs many a kick coming out of defense. Great as an intercept mark. But those around him make him look better than he is. He's lucky his teammates bail him out.

  • 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.
