Why were Stretch ...anb and spargo picked......10 touches bw them?

Its not their poor performance but more the prediction of it.

I don't understand how this builds confidence or momentum putting such a [censored] side on the paddock

    And people shot down my thread about needing a rebuild. Love for those people to tell us now where our improvement is going to come from.

    I wasn’t one of them but my thoughts are that some tough calls need to be made.

    We can’t carry Jones next year. 

    Hopefully we get pick 2 and use it, not to be on traded. 

    Trade Petracca (I know I’ve said this before, apologies....)and package him up with a future pick and make a bold play for some class off half back to replace Hibberd.

    Draft in not one but two small indigenous fwds. We need some energy and creativity  up fwd.

    Not all the answers but a start.

    19 actually - and both way ahead of a lot of other players who you could have named. But didn't.

    Something else I’ve noticed about our players is how often they go to ground in one on one situations. Once you go to ground you’re immediately stuffed if you don’t win it. 

    Is it bad core strength or something that’s being taught?

    Been like that for years.

    In all honesty is Goodwin safe for next year? Yes there will be a big payout but the club is burning money with this rubbish. Pert was bemoaning there was still 12000 MCC members who hadn’t signed up as MFC members this year, wait till next year and you can bet Jag will be running away at the speed of light too.

    Playing on at all costs against the best tackling team in the league?

    Tactically we are pretty basic.

    I reckon Goodwin would be a good local footy coach, “just be strong around the footy boys!” 

    Thats his answer to everything

    Tackle difference 17-9 this qtr, 44-27 for the 1/2 Second last in the comp in tackle difference. Last month lost inside 50s by 16, last in the Comp. Goodwin problem is with you as your game plan sucks! 

    He has destroyed the foundations of Roos & turned this list into a rabble only 3 years after he took over! 

    Utter disgrace that this guy continues to coach our club into oblivion once again!

    If that is correct BA then the contrast of output / quality is astonishing between quarters.

    Goody looks completely lost for answers in the box and shows no emotions at any point.  I would be furious at some of the passages of play as a team and from many individuals tonight. 

    Get to the bench, attempt to at least show them / highlight where they are going wrong immediately while the errors are still fresh and highlighting the alternative ways available to improve as a team and individual.

    Totally agree.

    Special guest Mark Neeld gave another world class pre game rev up.

    Thats about where we are at right now in terms of on field action.

    • 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.
