How can you dominate possession like that and only kick 3 goals and be up by only 2 points?  This [censored] team....

 

Ask the blokes that gave their full forward 2 free kicks that resulted in 2 goals. That’s the difference.

    ****ful umpiring both ways so far. It’d be great to watch a game and not notice the umpires impacting the game for once.

    Fritta is a disgusting kick for goal 

    This guy pretty much cost us a finals spot last year with his kicking.

    He's doing it again. He's a brilliant 50 goal per year forward who destroys our momentum and chances with his kicking for goal. Why has this not been fixed during the off season?

    So fing angry right now.

    Dominated stats whilst looking like we barely had it.

    We have to beat the crowd tonight. Saints fans are LOUD.

    Jeez King has come on a lot. Giving May a tough time of it.

    Well if every time you touch him he gets a free any backman is going to struggle. Which rule was that last free? Blocking apparently when you are bodying up on your man. Can’t chop the arms, can’t hold, now can’t body.

    Guess good teams make the most of their opportunities. Fritsch, Brayshaw, etc.

    Oliver amazing.

    ANB great.

    Petracca is 40 percent down on last year. 

    Langdon's kicking too loopy 

    Salem good

    Haven’t been able to watch the game but FFS are we mentally weak?   So often concede a goal or two just on the siren.

    Don’t be silly ! A decent Shiraz is far more valuable 

    might have been better to put the maid on it and kept the shiraz the way were wasting our chances.

    Played reasonably well and should have a better lead to show for it.

    Agree on Fritsch, what the f@#k has happened to his goal kicking? Hasn’t been the same the last couple of years.


    Well there’s a lot of positives in the way we’re playing, BUT YET AGAIN failing to finish. We should be 15-20 points up right now, but poor kicking for goal and poor decisions at critical moment (plus a dubious at best free to King at the end of the quarter) means we’re basically even. 

    I don’t know what to do about Fritta, he’s getting into so many great positions but FMD he’s a coach killer with his set shots. I remember we dropped Bugg because he didn’t finish any of his shots, I really like Fritsch but he is killing us with basic misses. 

    May had a great game last week but credit to the Saints they’re making sure he can’t get free to mark it. He’s been a little hard done by the umpire at the end but other than that King is all over him. 

    Viney was the star of the quarter, absolutely everywhere. Oliver playing great footy. Petracca kinda going back to old Trac of doing good things but also silly things.

    Dont know but these umps certainly are.

    I need to talk to someone- about how lame the umpires are.

    Smashed them in every stat.  I expect they will change their tactics this Q.  do something about Gawn and the talls down back

    King is a major issues for us.  he is a gun and bloody tall

    Need something from you Dogga Jackson

    Agree 


    Predictable end to Qtr. the difference is one team has space and skills and the other is a middle of the road scrapper. It never changes. Petracca cost us that second goal

    • 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.
