This is a pathetic roll over by Carlton.

Yep. Classic Choke when pressure is applied 

Walsh and McKay unsighted

As well. 
 

I was hoping the Blues got up. 


Feeling much better about the game next weekend after this choke. Demoralising defeat for Carlton. Can't see us losing tbh unless we have a real mare

Can't believe there is any sentiment for the blues here. They have had recompense coming for years. I don't care if we're not 2 games clear. I'm overjoyed that we're even 1 game clear. We'll take them on and show 'em.

The Blues won’t be an easy assignment for us next weekend, but our last quarter fitness might be telling, given the way they fell in a hole late in today’s game.

 

I watched that last quarter. Carlton's defensive pressure through its forward half was non-existent. Weitering is good but that's not going to stop opposition scores against when the midfield is so dominant.

The Dogs' midfield is peerless in the comp and Carlton showed they could produce good football through the first 2.5 quarters, but they're not going to see 5 goals out of Betts each week, and hopefully Hibberd can cover him well next week.

Don’t blow a fuse about it. ?

Agreed!

Not sure what to think. Their best is good, hopefully they bring their worst next week. We need to be switched on, our worst this year has also been poor. Our best only coming out in quarters not full games.

Blowing fuses are so 20th century...

Up yours carlscum. I hate you nearly as much as the filth and girlong. I don't see why people were getting hard about being 2 games clear after 8 rounds. It is what happens at the end of the year that matters. Dogs play port next. I hope the way the scum lost that match will deflate them for next week.

results this weekend have done us no favours really

Brisbane looks well on its way to a win and the Eagles win keeps their top 4 hopes well and truly alive.

Probably down to six teams for the top 4 now.

At least we have a 4 game break on the ninth and tenth teams so the 8 is starting to look safe.

If Dogs had lost today and given they play Port next week we could have had a real mini break on them

Onya dl4e!

Assuming Brisbane wins but doesn't put on another 7+ goals to the margin, we'll finish the round having played (and beaten) 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 17th and 18th.

That's a 3-0 record over the current top 8. For comparison:

  1. Dogs: 2-1
  2. Port: 1-2
  3. Geelong: 3-2
  4. Brisbane: 1-3
  5. Sydney: 3-1
  6. West Coast: 1-2
  7. Richmond: 1-4

The top 4 race is broader than that. I don't think any of the current top 8 can be ruled out, particularly when everyone down to even St Kilda in 11th is just one win behind 4th.

West Coast still has 8 games in Perth to come and road trips include Carlton, Adelaide and Collingwood.

Brisbane is a bad free kick off being 6-2, doesn't leave Queensland for the next three weeks, and still has 7 games at the Gabba to come, including three of its last four.

Sydney keeps performing against good sides.

Richmond is Richmond. Geelong just pumped Richmond.

It's still very even.

Me too, however, I'm losing no sleep tonight watching Carlton lose...

Nat Fyfe has one of the worst cases of the yips i've seen.  harder to miss than score that one.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
