Has slowly regressed other than the odd cameo "good" old Gus in minor patches the last few weeks.  'One touch' confidence has dissipated since 2018.  Not that he was ever super quick or quick but seems to have lost a half yard of pace (for Gus) also.

 

Dees not clean, some players zero confidence!

ANB gone totally backwards this year.

Are Clarry and Gus in the middle at all?

I'm in the forward pocket and Trac gave him a spray for not running up the field when the ball when out of the forward 50 and up the ground. 

Love to hear this - especially after his effort late in the Carlton game (granted, he would have been cooked)

Something is up. One of the best midfielders last year, languishing in the forward line....

    ANB ughhh... Running at about half his 2018 level and even that was borderline to sub best 22.  Going to be hard to justify keeping him on the list for 2020 i would think other than depth.

     

    Tackling?


    How many times does an opposition player get around a ANB and slip past him? Lay, or even attempt to lay, a tackle son.

    Overrated apparently. Pressure and tackles win games. No way we can win this if we continue playing how we are. 

    What an abomination the advantage rule is.....Umpires clearly have no idea WTF it is for.

    [censored] me we are rubbish today. No idea anywhere on the ground. So much for the backline being back. They can’t defend a fly. 


    Holding the man - Bulldogs. How many times are the umpires going to say that today? What about us?

    Woeful this quarter

    Jetta had to do better there.

    Clarry only 2 possessions. 

    Was on the Bont for a bit of that.  Bont not having much say either so far.  On Dunkley for the start of this quarter.  Lewis to Bont is a huge worry.  Surely Harmes goes to the Bont.

    Lewis goes back to replace Jones.  Jones into the middle from here.

    Yep, we’re still in the quarter time huddle.

    Brayshaw dumped again. Nev beaten on the goal line and they score a goal. Jones walks away then remembers" oh I'm the captain... " And turns around to give him a pat. 

    Man. The. [censored]. Up. 

    So easy for them. Free man everywhere with zero pressure.

    • 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.
