The match day coaching is appalling. When your pre-match plans are not working, you make adjustments. Well good coaches do.

    We still have a lot of passengers.

    Gawn may have just broken even with English 

    Harmes on Libba backfired, Bont did as he pleased, McCrae gets nearly 40. Our midfield was torched again.

    Josh [censored] Schache came from the wilderness and actually played a role.

    We are a fair way from our early season form, it doesn’t look like changing in a hurry either. If we are fair dinkum, the last 6 weeks warrant some big changes. We are just not hungry enough

    Those 2 fwd stoppage goals for Bont with all the time in the world were unforgivable from Harmes.

    The idea is to kick goals and we missed 8 (count them!) gettable shots tonight. Q1: Ben Brown, set shot from 30m. Kickett missed a snap in front. Q2: Petracca, a set shot from the boundary. Fritsch, set shot from 50 on sharp angle. Ben Brown, a poster. Q3: Petracca, a snap: out of bounds on the full. Q4: Ben Brown, shanked it, missed everything. Pickett, missed after the siren. The mid-field is creating the opportunities, but we are not translating it onto the scoreboard. We were in this game, could have won it.

    There are two wildly unbalanced stats from that game, and all the others are remarkably tight. We won hit outs 68-18. They won free kicks 25-11. Every sport at the top level should aspire to the best possible quality of adjudication. This was not that. It’s just not a level playing field out there.

    Harmes, Viney, Jordon, ANB are absolute battlers

    Our forward line is disgusting too 

    We have straight sets written all over the us 

    We need outside class and forwards for 2022

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
