Would have been at the other end. 

That’s 2 that would have gone against us, Pruess after his free was tackled and then Mundy diving in after we got that free.

As Dunstall said you can see Freo is trying to spread us wide/around the zone and we’re just lining up to go down the ground to the contest. 

I wouldn't kick inside either with a 50% DE

    Kick it long

    Get in space

    Under 12s can do this.

    Getting beat in a lot of 50/50's true to form. 19 tackles in a half of a game where the ball isn't able to flow.

    About what was expected.

    I know it's wet but we really do okay slot of horrible down the line for territory footy. Neeld era like

    Vandenberg is a good tackler and that's about it.

    In cricketing terms - 'he bats at 10 and doesn't bowl.' He is good at nothing!

    I don’t know where to start. Fumbles, overusing it, not having players downfield to contest when we do finally clear our lines, no run in attack or defence to create or shut down easy options. Just [censored]. Our only saving grace is that Freo have kept us in it with some shocking finishing work.

    We are so slow. Looks like freo have 6 more players. I guess we won the quarter.

    Ps umps are atrocious. Disgraceful. Unprofessional. Bias. Putrid. Shameful maggots.

    Longmuir would be spewing, Freo should be 4 goals up, make them pay for phark sake.

    We are clueless in the wet.

    49 marks to 14 about sums up our kicking skills

    No system and no smarts

    Too many inside Fumblers

    No space, no hitting a target 

    Why are we trying to possess and finesse so often around stoppage YEats?

    Tap/punch/kick the ball forward or in any direction where you can see space and no opp....and run onto it.  Its wet weather footy.

    We really need to tag Duman. He always tears us to shreds and has dominated the competition for the last decade!

    And that has been different to the last 3 weeks.

    24 goalless quarters under Goodwin, nearly a 25th. Lets hope that stat doesnt rise by end of game. We just look lifeless, an odd cameo from Viney but really we should be behind by a lot. Still a chance, but it's Freos to lose

    All we are doing is going for distance with our kicks, there’s no pin point passes or run and carry.

    Freo are piling on the pressure and we are playing right into their hands.

    • 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.
