Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

 

Pressure certainly dropped off in the last 6-7 minutes, but we are playing better footy than the last few weeks.  Some of the usual things are still there - the turnovers, the silly decisions - but we've also seen us play a little more consistently up to this point.

Allowing GC some easier goals, even the ones they pulled out of their rear end, hurts, but I'm happy to be in front and we should go on and win this.

    Why do our players try and take it from the oppositions hands when the ump is about to pay holding the ball!!!???

    Never wait on the umpires to pay our club a free kick.

    There should be a rule, if our midfielder have nothing on offer, hold onto the ball and draw players until there is something on offer. Just rushed players. If you're going to play chaos ball at least teach your players to hit targets and not just bomb.

    And draw the player for the overlap.  We rarely ever do this under SG now.  Used to early on in patches.

     

    Geez we look soft 

     

    Half time and we're in front, but could be playing sooo much better, they on the other hand gotten most of their goals cheaply. Clean up our act and that stops.

    Much harder said than done.


    Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

    I actually don't think we are. That's exactly what we have been dishing up. The opposition is just not the same quality.

    Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

    Because they don't pay it very often.

    Yes, but seriously, it's obvious the ump was about to pay it, there was the obligatory wait for 2-3 seconds that always indicates that a HTB is about to be paid. Otherwise the ump whistles a ball-up immediately

    Anyway, a small thing, but just annoying as it turns a free kick into a contested ball situation

    By periods you mean a large majority of the second quarter. Not a lot to show for our dominance. At one point GC had only 5 forward 50 entries for 2 goals. 

    Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around

    Melksham, Hannan and Picket in the forward line, all need to do more.

    Is he playing?

    he's being played as a forward / part time mid.  He's had one, maybe two, clean pieces of play (from mid field).  One was a lovely handball off the ground to a running Salem (i think).  Not much else and the else has been bog ordinary.

    Dirty day for Lockhart. 1 free kick against, 1one percenter, and 1 pressure act,  being his only stats.

    Its possible the one percenter and the pressure act were the same 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.
