    Forget the muppet that is saying it but do you agree with BT here?

     

    Honestly what a attention seeking stupid comment to make... Sammy was gutted, he felt the loss was entirely on his shoulders, you can see it in his face.. I love the fact the boys got around him. The guy was hurting and I can guarantee you he will be doing overtime with some goal kicking practise this week.

    What's the alternative, leave the 20 gamer on his own and segregate him? [censored] off BT got this one completely wrong

    Anyone know if we have engaged a specialist goal kicking coach yet? You know someone who might be able to improve technique and develop routines (that allow players to replicate that technique in all circumstances)for set shots! Goal kicking has cost us 3 games this season. 

    Petracca is a classic case study, his ball drop on a set shot inside 45m can do anything with him often spinning the ball in his hands just prior, to stay loose I suppose?

    That's just it, I thought, ignoring his football credentials in recognition of his limited nouse.

    You would hope that the leaders got the club together post game and when back at training and made a point of all the misses this year and the fact we have been [censored] and take it upon themselves to actually train their set shots every single bloody session. 

    We have kicked so many more points than goals for the last few years. And it’s cost us multiple games.

    But I don’t expect anything smart from this club anymore.

    Nietzsche would argue that BT has a point.

    It is not for us to determine the morality of an action but only live with the consequences of that action.

    Empathy /pity leads to a slave mentality whereas a master mentality has no need for this morality .It either is or is not (successful)because of personal action.

    All the players who missed should be chastised. It’s not a pre- school.

    And another thing. 

    BT may seem moronic but he was clever enough to kick several hundred goals from in front of the sticks.

    Same goes for Mark Jackson.

    They at least had the humility to work on their craft.

    Your status as a very sick man has been temporarily been put on hold. You are obviously quoting from our new recruit who has a season ending injury. Allow me to advise you that apart from yours truly only the lonely erudite know anything about this great philosopher who invented Zarathustra.

    I think the Weed deserves some slack because he isn’t a serial offender. He has slotted some good goals under pressure, especially in last years finals. Also he so obviously cares and is hard enough on himself without anyone else sinking in the boots. He has been one of our better converters.

    He’s kicked a paltry 6g 5b in 7 games this year.

    22g 14b over his 27 games so far. 

    Going at well under a goal per game. How much  more slack should we cut the guy without running out of rope?

    Whatever his deficiencies I don’t see it being lack of effort. That is the only justification for a spray IMO - eroding confidence isn’t the way to improve performance.

    • 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.
