Slow start when we kicked badly and flat finish in the last where they kicked 4.3 to our 1.2 but on the whole we played well.

Good to see the switch across half back and the tempo changes.  We lost but a lot to like for the last few games of the season.

Huge game by Clarrie and Fritsch not far behind.

    Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees.

    Like last week and many other games this season no matter how competitive and strong we are during the game we toss it away in the last quarter. We rarely look like winners at the death.

    We had a really good stab at it, a lot of things worked for us. 

    An encouraging performance, but ultimately not there yet.

    Missed easy goals again. Petty, lewis missed 2 each they should have kicked and max again missed a sitter. 

    4th quarter we just couldn't kick goals

    The game was lost when that (censored) umpire gave a free against Max for trying to mark the ball. Terrible decision. Blind.

    We were ok but have lost the confidence to take the game on when it’s there to be won

    This.

    Also, skills. Also, both of those: experience.

    Preuss.

    Laughable that some on here questioned the FD’s decision not to pick him earlier this season. The least fittest bloke on our list by a mile. Todd Viney would have beaten him in the 3km time trial.

    Fritsch up forward is a game changer.

    Begs belief why he was down back for so long.

    Wagner (Older) did well as well I thought, was hard at it in contests winning several.

    Brayshaw did well keeping Yeo quiet, maybe that was the trade off of him going back into the center.

    Petty worth continuing up forward, Lewis also. 

    Poor games from Preuss, Lockhart and female umpire

    To continue the theme of patting myself on the back: exactly as I said last week. Has ten thumbs. Not AFL tandem-ruck quality until rectified.

    I wonder what all the posters that were saying he would make a difference think now.

    Er, i didn't see it - what happened?

    • 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.
