    Anyone have Sparrow in their finals side?

    No been average last few weeks. Viney will replace him. Prefer Nathan Jones

    I don't post much on gameday threads. Wow you're a negative bunch!

    Are we just exhausted? Because these sloppy skills are a big worry.

    New team rule -  don’t let sparrow kick inside 50

    Or Oliver kick for goal

    Has there ever been a more depressing 21 point half time. Team changes and travel last week has to be a factor.

    We are messing around with it. Dropping marks, missing kicks. We are lucky they can't kick straight

    Gee we have some lazy players when we're favourites.

    Disposal has been 💩 in perfect conditions. 

    Strong wind out there. Doesn’t excuse all the kicking but some

    Decision making/execution/game awareness forward of centre is a killer. We need a bowey/Salem like half forward. We cough up what would be simple possession chain goals or set shots kicking or handballing to the wrong spots a lot.

    Could be better, but if you said 21 point lead at half time, I’d take it.

    Better decision making moving forward will be the cherry on the sundae.

    Subconsciously keeping a bit in reserve. Not surprising given the turmoil of the last couple of weeks, and the big games to come.

    Our inability to defend their running short possession game through the middle is almost comical. They’ll lose the sniff in the second half I suspect, but it’s very frustrating, and offers a lesson in how to play us. When our all court defence is right on, it’s harder to execute, but the Crows (again a shadow of their best personnel) are making it look very easy at times. If I were Brad Scott, I’d be liking what I see.

    Max couldn't catch a cold at the moment. His contested marking has gone backwards

    Clarry needs to stop talking about what an ordinary kick he is. It’s becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Or he could work on it. Probably doesn’t see it as important. If his hand balling started go awry.....he’d then probably work on his game.

    Oliver a great player but unfortunately the criticism with his kicking is 100% true and and accurate. 

    Its why petracca has passed him. Trac was a sho ker too and did something about it

    Clarry a brilliant engine room player though. Just dont kick inside 50.

    • 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.
