    Brayshaw gets a load of football... but how many rushed, pointless bomb-around-the-body kicks has he done tonight that have been to no advantage or straight turnovers. 

    Im getting sick of seeing it... I understand the hundred handballs are tough with Tiger pressure but what about wide spread instead of 0.5m handballs to stationary teammates...

    The fumbles tonight as well. FMD, what happened to “getting back to the basics.”  Watched the half time drill of picking it up off the deck, translated to nothing during game time.

    Goodwin needs to go for the win here.

    Put Mcdonald forward.

    Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

    No one at CHF or higher to take the relief contested mark!!   Playing Weid is like playing a man down.  T-mac experiment over until he gets some resemblence of his 2018 form back.  Running at about 40% of that output/quality right now.

    Time to bring Keilty in


    The tigers have been garbage, but at least they kick goals more than once in a million forward 50 entries. We're lucky that we are not 100 points down, we would be against a side playing well. TMac is so horribly out of form, he can't take a trick anywhere on the ground. That moment where he tried to run off his opponent was hard to watch. 

     it is winnable but given the poor way we have been playing it would really take some effort to get up from here. just no one up forward standing up, the tigers are tearing us apart from defence and our players cannot take a mark cannot chase and cannot tackle. I think weidermans kick to jones sums up our night. even when there is no pressure our players cannot do it right.

    Stretch has been really good.  13 touches, 7 of them contested, and he's generally made good decisions.  Hopefully, like others have mentioned, he gets a good run at it from here.

    ...and Viney burned him that Q...

    Cost us 2 goals the skipper.

    Needs to learn what team is...

    That bloke wearing number 31 should go and hide in the stands. Has none of Barassi's courage AT ALL. The softest player I have seen in many years. You can throw the Weid in that mix. I said earlier we need our best players playing at their best and the others putting in honest efforts.  Some are but boy are some just going through the motions.

    Time for these guys to stand up in last quarter. PLEASE.

    Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?

    Send him forward


    Hogan got more touches and score in one game then May and Weiderman combined over the last 3 weeks.

    Put Weide deep...  bring jSmith up to the flank or wing...  to play between the Wing and the F50.

    We need to mark the ball around the middle to calm us down from overusing it.

    There is a serious lack of belief out there. We all know our players can hit a Target and can pick up the ball. We watched it for a season. 

    I can see the Tiggers blowing this out in the last.

    Shame as they dont deserve a percentage booster.

    Our boys have chased tail all night.

    With not much left in the legs, this could get very ugly in the last and the Toiges can smell blood.

    Basic skill errors and no brains has killed us all night.

    It is sad how quickly we have become a rabble drinking our own bathwater.?

    McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

    McDonald can't catch the ball in defence what makes you think he can do it forward...

     

    fritter is better than what he is doing tonight ,confidence is shot like the rest of them

    • 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.
