What for? Being blocked off the ball… stop looking to make yourself look smart.

Head was going side to side like a sideshow clown looking for a ping pong ball

Should've just been watching English and avoided the block

 

Gawn, Jackson, Weiderman,  Hunt have all been pathetic.  

Both Weideman and Jackson are simply giving us nothing up forward. Put in another performance that half and they can spend next week at Casey.

What's Hunts role exactly? Dead set witches hat having 1 disposal in a half of football playing in one of the easiest positions on the ground.

    Their only strength remains the freeballing, unpressured kick straight into the forward line, accompanied by semi-hidden throws. We have been stronger all over the ground. They take full advantage of every freed up moment they get.

    If Jackson or Weid could actually mark the ball, we win by 8 goals.


    It’s a game right now, don’t care about the score the Dogs have shown just how they can score and score quickly this year. I just feel if we’re getting half chances in the middle and winning the ball we’ve got to make them pay. We’ve also gotta force more contests and not have it pinging around like a pinball machine all the time. The key is to frustrate the dogs and tire them. Lock it in the forward line and get to work.

    Always take a 19 point lead going into half time against anyone, but against the dogs it’s very good. Couple of lapses gave them an in back into the game.

    Disappointing to give those two late goals back. Should be further in front. But they lifted that quarter and we still dominated for most of it. 

    Big third quarter coming up.

    How many marks is Weideman going to drop.

    Our inability to kick on from five goal leads is painful.

    Fair suck of the Saveriro Rocca mate...

    They're the top team... and a bloody good team too...

    That deliberate OOB where Harmes decided to basically shepherd the ball out was embarrassing. How can the kicking player be penalised for the the actions of the recipient?

    Our players are getting called to play on a lot quicker from marks than the Bulldogs are, Johannisen was allowed to stand 5mtrs off the line from where Melks had to stand the mark and took a good 10secs before kicking. ??‍♂️

    Geez the dogs are brilliant at the quick handball , throwing but they really do get away with a few throws. It’s like the umpires are scared to call it due to how good they do handball 

    Fixed it for you

    Thought Weideman was a touch quiet that half with the one handball to his name.

    To his credit, he nearly got a goal with that handball. 

    Hunt needs a kick up the motivational cavity.

    So does gus.

    I think Sam will get dropped at his rate.

    5 mark attempts, has crashed packs... 5 could have stuck another night. Takes a forward from TMAC.... a range of things he is doing that doesn't quite count on the stats sheet...

    Hes too predictable. Even when it hits the ground he's [censored] useless.

    How silly of him trying to organise the defence, he should have just been selfish and focus on one bloke and made sure he didn’t get a block off the ball….. ok chief 

     

    We haven’t dropped off. It’s just that they’ve lifted in that second quarter.

    This is one of your worst. 

    You’re upset about us not kicking on from a 5 goal leas against the ladder leaders?

    • 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.
