Bar the last ten minutes I think that’s the best we have played all year. Centre square clearances became an issue that needs to be addressed or we will struggle to hang on. Rivers has been terrific, I really hope dropped marks don’t cost us the game.

I think you’re being pretty generous suggesting that five dropped marks is a good thing.

Finals are won by ruthless teams who go at 100 for the whole game. 10-15 minutes of dropping off can and has cost teams finals and premierships. 
Gotta get better at choking up oppositions. 
But I acknowledge the Dogs are very good at Marvel and they are one of the few sides who can punish you severely in the space of minutes. 

Yep, that’s exactly it Jaded. Need to frustrate this half.


Good half . My Worst fear was being blown away early, my second worst is leading by 5 goals and letting it slip. Just have that feeling dogs have a lot of improvement in them and we can’t put sides away.

-talls dropping marks they should take 

- picket needs to stay low and and go hard at the ball he’s falling over too much 

- the umpiring grinds my gears

Both have been terrible calls, the last one in particular, Chamberlin is a xxxx.

Yes if call those you have to call the doggies wild shot at goal that went out of bounds surely that quarter. Yes he was going for goal but got it wrong just as we were looking for someone but got it wrong. 

Max gets in everyone’s way when he’s going up for marks 

 

Wasn't that a great half from Rivers!  Common boys.  Max, LJ, Weid, Melk & Hunt really need to lift here to win this.  Cant carry that many on a downer against this mob


Pickett held and taken high ... play on FFS

    No way we will run away with this. the dogs are a seriously good team. I still reckon it will be less than a kick in it in the end.

    3 plays and 3 free kicks not payed. Unbelievably bad umpiring.

    • 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.
