Mistake not having one of Brown or Weids in tonight. They are killing us in the air down back.

Yes Mitch Brown would be handy. 

 

Dominant for little reward. Need runners coming into the forward line for short hit ups if they are going to continue flooding back.

Fritsch just wants the easy ball over the back or on a lead, doesn't like winning it himself.

We are running past the ball looking for easy touch

 

Gawn absolutely pasting the defenders after that Stringer goal. Gave them a spray.

Nothing to kick to

Forward targets nowhere

kicked to a 3v1 just now and missed a target completely earlier. He's out of form.

That said our forward set-up not working first quarter


Viney would take a better defender as well

Lets face it.
Delivery into the forward line has been garbage for years.
Lowered the eyes early this year but have reverted back to kicking and hoping.

 

should have played one of the browns, that way it would have taken some of the pressure of fritch having one of the best backs on him

our forwards need to defend more when essendon has the ball and running out of our defense

 

 

Putting Gawn forward and bomb it in is a better chance of scoring than the current set up. 


Too much room in the zone down back.  When the game's on early we should be placing max pressure on them in our 50.  Instead we're allowing them to pick their way out from the goals at will with ease.

It rarely works against teams who base their game around skills/run off HB and i don't expect it will work tonight either.

Another loss looming if Goody &  Co stick with that strat in this 2nd quarter.  They'll be up by 5 or 6 goals at half time if we do.

Bombers playing counter attack footy. 

Make the most of our opportunities and we'll OK.

Get absolutely [censored] Melbourne. Stringer on his own. 
We are a mess. 

That’s a point


Getting torched when they go forward. Their midfield are much better kicks

Operation compact the ladder in full effect.

How the [censored] can you tell with 3 frames a minute?

Goal review is a farce.

  • 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.
