Kinda felt like Carlton played better that quarter.

What a damn shame they're 7 points down to show for it.

    Our zone is starting to kick in. The Baggers were picking through us way too easily in the first 10 minutes.

     

    I take it from the comments that BT is being BT. You can't go wrong with the mute button folks


    You can see with Chandler coming in why they prefer a settled side. Can't question his effort, but throws a bit of a spanner in the well-oiled machine. Unless I'm reading it wrong, they wanted Jones in for Melksham, and you can understand why.

    Chandler is off the pace at the moment so I'll cut him some slack. You'd expect it'll take him a quarter or two to get in to a rhythm with the game and the team. The Gawn/Brown one was a shocker though.

    Great mark from Weid at the end of the quarter, and great kick to TMac. 

    The part missing for me is the voice from Brown on the first one and then other fwds for Chandler to stay down. 
    Better voice all round and it’s 2 shots on goal or goals.

    I love how we've finished, and paced games this year but gee we look a little slow out of the blocks. I hope it's not complacency. 

    The Blues are NOT THAT BAD. They only lacked polish and experience against the Doggies, and we only just scraped past them last year (I know we are a different team know), so they should not be underestimated.

    Yes we should beat them, yes we're a much better side, but these things often mean nothing. Got to keep up the pressure today.

    Yep...two rookie errors there.  He'll learn but wouldn't want to make too many more this match

    Yep - I swore at Gawn in the first instance but then thought maybe it was just a lack of player talk; Brown's job as the leading in forward to call Gawn in or out. Happy to apportion equal blame to two experienced players though.



    Looks like the holding the ball correction starts today

    How is a push in the back deemed HTB? I hate these [censored] umpires. Fair dinkum!

    • 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.
