Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

It is extremely hot. 

Yes agree guys, it'll definitely take a few games off shorten pre season.

 

Still flooding the contest and no one out. Dockers killing us in clearances because of it even though we are winning tap outs.

    Dear AA selectors,

    That guy who is owning the game in the back half with 500 metres gained? Number 1?

    His name is Steven May.

    That name again.

    Steven May.

    Cheers. Enjoy the game.

    Harmes should go to Fyfe & get Hunt forward. He is hopeless down back.

    Is he keeping Fyfe a little quiet though?  We don't need to see much from Hunt as long as he achieves that.

    Harmes looks much happier and more at home back up forward again.  I would not mess with the 'present' winning set up.  Unless Fyfe manages to get off the hook

    Petracca needs to lift for the 3rd qtr. Way too quiet in that second qtr.

    Even with a new midfield coach.

    Not sure these mids are ever going to get it, not in their DNA.

    Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

    Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

    And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

     

    They said Jackson went into the rooms early in second QTR I think.

    Not sure if he's got a niggle.

    Yep, we just still have passengers though.


    happy to be in front but apart from may and lever really uninspiring sloppy stuff. i didn’t think it was possible but, even from the low base we started from,  we’ve gone backwards in our clearance work. hopefully an improvement in the 2nd half.

    Why do we continue to handball to players under pressure? Drives me mad.  Have we learnt nothing?

    Agreed, although tbh I’ll take a Round 1 win any way it comes.

    Rivers disposal is deplorable today. Nothing is sticking.

    • 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.
