    Take responsible and kick the [censored] goal weideman!

    Turnover ... goal to the filth !

    The skill level is embarrassing, give the MMD game to a decent team, we don’t deserve it

     

    We were one game away from a Grand Final last year.

    From that to this in less than a year.

     


    McDonald can [censored] off with hos brother too. I am done with him too

    Watson just referred to the skills (or absence thereof) of Melbourne to be the worst he's seen this season.

    He said that after Hannan just dropped a chest mark.

    It's pitiful.

     

    I hate handballs to nowhere.


    I'm beginning to think that Goodwin isn't the right coach going forward. And by going forward I mean right now.

    Hannan still rusty. 

    Hannan and Lever both got into the team,  without any displayed form,  or condition.   Both not ready for AFL.

    Wow McDonald doesn't look like getting near it. Stands under the ball, can't take a contested mark and always seems to be in no man's land.

    Can we please draft someone who can snap more than 20 metres. 

    How dare you criticise Lord spargo ! 

    This list is ok. I worry about the coaching. I know that's an ongoing theme, and the coaches don't tell Garlett to pass it off from 30m out (etc etc) we just have NO SYSTEM going forward. Don't talk to me about connection. This is about structures and habits.

    Skills are absolutely killing us. Intent is good - we wrestled control of the ball in that quarter but gee wizz. Hannan dropping it was just one example but was pretty typical of how we’re going.

    Both Lever and May are only 1% off and looking better than I was expecting. Our defence as a whole looks reasonably well coordinated, they were just hammered. Reckon they’re why we’re closer than we might be.

    I haven’t given up yet. I think we could steady and claw the lead back. Fingers crossed.

    Totally devoid of skill. 

    Cant kick or handball. 

    Otherwise ok.

     

    Melbourne needlessly rushing, loopy handballs over the top rather than kicks down the line to leading players.  Selling teammates into trouble, handballs to stationary players.

    F50 entries have been woeful once again, but I haven’t seen anything resembling forward structure and leading patterns.  

    Harmes from the boundary seems to be the only player with any kind of composure in traffic.  Thank god for Marty Hore.

    McDonald looks completely out of sorts, and has benefitted Pies more than his own team so far.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Carlton

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
