    Gee we're looking better this week.

    our forward line looks dangerous.

    Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

    Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

    Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

    May immense.

    Fix our set shots and we’ll win every week!

    35 to 21 according to my stats

     

    The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated

    Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.


    I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

    The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

    Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

    Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

    Salem started well.

    9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

    Should have been below the knee if anything.

    Best start weve had in weeks

    8 frees to 5. 

    so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not 

    Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.


    We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

    Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

    Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move.

    Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

    Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

    I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

    • 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.
