    ANB and Rivers both clear worst on ground for us. Everything they do turns to Hawthorn goals and opportunities.

    We're going to have to earn this one today, as our forwardline looks poor and our defence is shaky with Petty and Rivers down there not doing great.

    Defence at sea. Not competing at ground level. Need to re-group at quarter time.

    No May no backline. No Fritsch no forwardline. 
    Prove me wrong Melbourne. Please.

    Petty had to punch that instead of trying to grab it.

    Im glad Hibberds pkaying well. Petty does not instill confidence.

    I hope it’s not a big mistake dropping Jetta. He could have snuffed two of those hawk cheapies.

    Hibbo playing well but otherwise it is worrying signs early in defence. Even Tommo is looking very uncertain. 

    Gonna need to find another gear or two to get it done today.

    We are clearly struggling forward of the Centre and our backline needs to settle. 
    If we don’t start to dominate the clearances we are done for.

    Our fringe players starting to look fringe again. Rivers having a mare. Brown not the answer up forward. Jordan off the pace (2nd week running?) Jones largely invisible.

    Incredible how two key players out impacts how the whole team looks.

    Concerning.

    we need to slow down and steady

     

    Them getting on top in the first should be a good wake up call

     

    Pig playing well. Let the boys know how the VFL lads went and there is plenty of competition 

    Bring on a fired up second quarter

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
