We got smashed in the midfield, yet most our votes have gone to midfielders!!!

On reflection I should have given more votes to our backs.

Also who was on Daniel's - he destroyed us.

    Agree.  Simon Goodwin. Please explain why we let Daniel alone as a loose defender all night. He set up a lot of Bulldog entries. He is highly skilled and used the corridor.   It was obvious to me. Next time FFS Play him tight with an Anb, Melksham or a Harmes across half forward.

    Petracca a lot of disposals, but almost wholly ineffective IMHO. 

    This is about right.    special mention to all us supporters who still think we are a chance this year.  I think our record since QB speaks for itself. Middle of the road at best

    4. Neal-Bullen (I'm amazed there are more people wanting to drop him than give him votes!)

    3. Lever

    2. Gawn (I don't understand the kicking wildly at every opportunity...but I'll assume it was coaches' instructions)

    I am starting to get a bit concerned with Ed Langdon, he is in free fall since round nine and boy are we feeling the impact of his decline. Let’s hope he finds his Mojo over the next four weeks as we are not as good a team without him firing on all eight cylinders.

    I think ANB going at 48% DE has setting to do with it.

    He got involved a lot and generally played ok (7 clearances and 4 SIs) but also had 7 turnovers from his 25 disposals.

    Thanks. I try not to allow myself to be persuaded by statistical parameters - good or bad - when deciding on votes. Especially as I think disposal efficiency is a very crude measure. But I appreciate that ANB undoes a lot of his good work with poor disposals. However, I thought in thisn game he also had many good possessions which resulted in positive results. Perhaps a second viewing of the game (which I won't do!) might persuade me otherwise.

    • 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.
