We won’t have the skill required to win this.

In the post-game last week a couple of the players made mention of what happened last year and that the players hadn't forgotten it.

 

Y didn't Harmes kick it short to Langdon in the forward 50 rather kick it to a Port 50/50

    Back to dominating inside 50s and wasting them.

    do we ever get clean entry inside 50? 

    No. 



    So much effort and energy burnt for no result, opposition rush down rick it neatly to their leading forward, goal!

    Harmes back in defence ?

    May kicks to Max from kick out every time so predicatable they get it and goal.

    harmes has gone from a regularly reliable kick to target to bombing it every time

    the zone defense is a MESS currently

    It looks that way as we are putting zero pressure on when the ball hits the deck in our forward half.

    For the zone to work, the pressure needs to be up down the ground.  It's non-existant at present.

     

    It's not looking good.  There's no spark there tonight.  They're going through the motions but the tackles are half-hearted, they're not crashing in to get the ball and disposal is loose.  We won't win this one.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
