That goal to Ellis was a disgrace of umpiring. It wasn't a push in the back (Ellis diving), it wasn't a high tackle on Rankine either.

Still, main issues are ours, not umpiring. Still too many inside 50s which don't go to our advantage and too much time spent in forward half without scoring.

    We are supremely frustrating to watch, yet we're in front.  I have no idea how that works or why it has happened.

    We will need to kick at least 3-4 goals to win this with the way GC are kicking them from everywhere.

    I’m obviously missing something. How is is that Melksham gets a game?

    I don't think I have watched more goals pulled from a rear end than I have tonight.

    Umps super soft there.

    Agree. Suns have 4 goals from no look snaps 

    umps gifting it

    plus Trac is playing dumb. Never goes back and settles to get the right kick. FFS WILL THE COACH TELL HIM.

    Melksham is taking the [censored] with his lack of forward pressure. 
    Our ball use is just so bad. It’s really hard to watch.

    I'm calling it now - some sort of ridiculous mistake, umpiring decision etc. will decide this game for one side.

    Umpires having too big an influence now. Well bloodywell give it our way.

    Most of the bad decisions have been non-decisions which there is no stat for. 

    I more mean that they will pull one out in the last minute which will result in the winning score and either have us really angry or just a little bit angry.

    the minute weideman stops running under the footy will be the minute he starts taking more marks.

    A few times i felt he has been nudged under it a touch perhaps?

    Melksham's head taken off. 

    Head taken off, then legged in the same contest - nothing.

    Meanwhile Langdon tackles Rankine cleanly and the umpire calls high contacts.

    I thought the push in the back was there, but high contact against Rankine was rubbish.

    Even with the dodgy umpiring we should win

    They'll make sure we don't

    Honest to God, our ability to self-destruct attacking opportunities is like nothing I’ve ever EVER seen, often hilarious and sometimes spectacular. If it weren’t so hair-pullingly frustrating, it would be hilarious. Neutral supporters must have a whale of a time watching us [censored] it up so reliably.

    It's an even money game and to be honest it was always going to be. Massive last quarter. Keep on top in contested ball

    Great game but. I thought we've been quite good.

    Get the hell out of here Stigga, no need for that kind of optimism around these parts.

    • 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.
