What a rubbishy and boring game of footy. 
Must be time for a beer.

    Oliver's goal, again.

    Sick to death of his hot potato handballs to complete disadvantage of team mates, rather than taking responsibility himself.

    Nothing to see here though says @Dr.D

    Two absolute shockers so far

    How F’ing typical to crap in our own nest. Poor by Baker to not keep his feet. Why is Smith out there?

    How many years will we keep wasting forward opportunities with [censored] kicking and ball use?

    I what this season to be done. I’m over watching the same [censored] every week.

    Can they actually kick the ball instead of criss crossing the ground with hand balls. Essendon wait for the mistakes.

    Good seats, ****house game. 
     

    We look lost and jogging around the ground like a training drill. Good work all round so far.

    well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

    Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

    I'd be telling Fritch to lay off the next time he marks inside 50. His kicking for goal is costing us.

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    oliver ? 

    OVERHANDBALLING ????

    Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses 
     

    We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb 

    get it right and we win !!! 

     

    Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars".

    Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. 

    We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

    We're playing alright. Just not finishing our work at the moment. Not panic stations yet

    Essendon are [censored] rubbish and we are making them look bloody brilliant with our pathetic use of the football, our soft tackling (AVB aside) and a non existent game plan. 
    Nothing is more predictable than Melbourne chocking. Nothing.

    • 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.
