How does the coaching staff justify Smith in the side? 

Say the same about the staff.

    God I hate the camera shots of that zombie in our coach’s box.

    Spot on.  Some fool on here will blame Joel Smith for the smother goal, however, under no pressure Oliver handballs it on his shoelaces and the defensive forwards of Richmond thrive on that type of error. 

    I've been taking notice of Oliver,  and to a lesser extent Braysaw over the last few weeks.   Oli consistently flicks the ball off and when the ball leaves the area he stops.

    When Oliver has to tackle, often the tackle slips off.  Allowing the opponent away.

    So many of Oliver's physical efforts at opposition are impotent.

     

    He has allowed his game and efforts since 2018 to just jog along, like he does.

    He needs a big attitude change.

    The bright side is that because our Essendon match was postponed this is not season ending.... yet

    Yes it is DJ. Well if finals is our goal.


     

    Simon has his bag packed but he won't be leaving the building.

    Well we've done our good deed for the next team playing the tigs.

    They are all the walking wounded.

    Fritsch has been poor, cost us multiple times with poor disposal especially early

    Agree MFM. He's got huge tickets on himself and is just about our laziest player. He could be a much better footballer, but he chooses not to be.

    Actually a lot to like about this game.

    So much better than last week.

    Because I knew we had lost at selection I've been able to enjoy the good parts of the game.

    1-4... we are alive..just

    1-5.... no chance

    So obviously Smith out for omac next week

    Weid and Jones in for Melksham and Vandenberg

    Jones in for Viney

    Brian friggin Taylor and the fake crowd’s over the top efforts to inject some excitement into this rubbish is just plain insulting.

    • 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.
