Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

    Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


    Better but still wasteful. 

    Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

     

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

    Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

    I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

    Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

    Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever

    So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
     

    I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

    Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


    After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

    The symptoms are all there:

    - Fatigue (walking around)

    - Coughing (up the ball)

    - Fever (explains the poor decision making)

    Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

    Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

    Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

    My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

    Why is Stafford on thin ice, Plapp is the forward coach    love game day thread

    • 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.
