Is the post game thread open yet?

Why not just go to "is Goodwin the right guy?"

    Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

    The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

    It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

    The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

    On the bright side guys, Sydney will jump Hawks on the ladder so our draft pick we get off them will be one pick higher now.

     

     

    You know you’ve stuffed up selections when O Mac gets sent to full forward just to stay out of the way.

    Bad night for Sydney to pull out their best performance for the year.

    They always pull out their best effort against us.  Very much our bogey side.

    So who’s let the supporters down then? Elaborate. 

    How we start this quarter will be everything.

    Start fast and we're in it. Let Sydney continue to park the bus or concede a goal and we're [censored].

    I turned off the game at half time. I literally can’t remember the last time I did that if ever. 

    gutted

    wind has dropped substantially from the first quarter

    clutching at straws

    How so? 

    But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor.

    And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

    I know I'm totally up for 2 hours of elite athletic performance after 5 hours of flights and airport transfers. 

    Exactly my point. What a great preparation for a game.

    Langdon the only bloke that's played the first three quarters

    Christ, we painfully inch the ball fwd around the boundary - Syd get it to their 50 with a couple of kicks down the spine.  Ugh.

    Many of us called him to be dropped.

    Bizarre coaching selection once again that he was kept in the side against a more nimble forward line.

    Fritta is awful 

    Honestly should be traded. He is soooo soft and scared of any physicality, goes missing way too often and only bobs up with 1 or 2 when things are said and done. Woeful kicking skills and gets very little of it.

    • 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.
