    We are always one on four or five. 
    Horrible lack of accountability.

    Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

    but we're not. you could say that about a majority of our games the past 18 months. this isn't an uncommon issue. it's a consistent theme. turnovers are symbolic of the broader issues.

     

    Everytime Gawn gets the ball he turns it over.

    Pickett is out of his depth.

    Bennell has looked classy.

    Viney best of midfielders.

    True, and this is terribly easy for me to say, but take that away and we're the better side.  It's a massive thing though so it's difficult to justify, but I think around the ground we've been better.

     

    Now it may just be me, but I thought there were a lot of looks when Goodwin was speaking that suggested 'weve heard this before...'

    [censored] off with Weideman copping holding the ball then missing out on our 2 clear free kicks.

    Square up there.

    Kozzie getting the dodgiest free kick of the round there.  Bit of a square up for the five they missed earlier.

    Sounds like we've got the crowd on our side. 

    Not hard against GC

    Reminds me of the one bloke near the mic when we play over in Adelaide celebrating every goal.  Love it.

    I don't care what the commentators say about the Pickett free. Makes up for all the ones we don't get in our forward line. 

    This  HTB rule change is a calamity

    • 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.
