It is [censored] infuriating. We give a free kick away on our attacking 50 and we are so pushed up that the Saints take 2 kicks and 5 seconds to be having a shot on goal. Richo was laying into us. 

Our defensive awareness forward of centre is getting progressively worse and has been an issue throughout Goodwin's reign.

what more can one say about this gameplan

 

Fritter in the forward half of the ground easily > Fritter in the defensive half. Can't believe it took this long to make that happen.

 

Well I’ll take it. 

If we can start defending, we might win this.

    so it really needs to be discussed. Do I know more about footy than Goodwin? I've been asking for fritsch to be played since day 1 and quite frankly I think its embarrassing that it took him 17 rounds to do it.

    Nothing to do with the game plan. If the players don't work to position, that's what happens.

    Lewis up forward is already a find for us.

    Both Wagners need to go! 

    Lack of fitness, arrogance, or laziness? Which makes us a worse defensive running side?

    They've been ok Jaded IMO.  Limitations at the moment as early days but both play with intensity ar the footy and opponents.  Josh really dropped off from a reasonable start to the season then went back for a stint at Casey when higher rated opponents returned but thats what happens to inexperienced players.

    Cory similar.  In for a few out for a few.

    Takes a while to find feet at such a high level.  Lets see how they go for remainder of year eh.

    You think it was a coincidence that when our back six returned from injury that Fritsch went fwd again?

    Oh to make positional discoveries a mere 6 weeks before a player is due to retire. How useful.

    I prefer to think of it a a low centre of gravity- he is so strong around the hips and rarely goes to ground

    Nope.

    After a couple of dud tunes, we have another for the victory playlist -

    James Brown, Get on Up:

    Starts with a goal to Fristsch, finishes just after Smith nails his.

     

    So all our goals have been thanks to two mighty smooth songs so far.

    Don't understand when you get a fast start why the hell you don't go doubly hard to make it a six goal advantage. Let them back far too easily. Lever, Lewis, Fritta, Clarry and Petracca have been good.


    Why is Lingy yelling at us?

     

    ANB just gets in the way.

    • 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.
