Getting nothing from the umps. Having said that, this game was lost at selection

We wish. Wouldn’t have made an iota of difference.

    You forgot Harmes. 

    Been banging on about him all year.

    Can't stand him as player.

    So, will Goodwin shuffle the magnets - Gus into the guts maybe for a start.  Sadly not sure what else there is though.

    Can stomach a loss but let’s try not to get embarrassed.

    Too late.

    Getting slaughtered in the middle. Leave Dogga in the ruck. Play Max forward. Move Tmac wing. More pressure on their mids

    Was Clarry playing Q2?

    Watch the off the ball work on Oliver, should be getting frees

    Will we get fined for tanking, we rather play port than bne, get the cross over and meet Geelong in the gf

    I know that we won’t win from here but need to win back some respect in the second half.!!!

    T Mac has been beyond insipid tonight. We can’t in all seriousness take him into next week. Bring back Melk. Bring back anyone.

    McDonald has shown that if his body is not 100% right, he's woeful. Also, by his own admission he takes several weeks to get into marking form. Well sorry bud, you're my favourite player but we just don't have that sort of time.

    So if we lose to port in adelaide we play gws or swans i guess.

    I cant believe how soft our tackling is.

    We are so flat footed.

    So you don’t like TMac, Brayshaw, Harmes and Fritsch.

    Not many left Dazzle.

    Smith should be delisted.  One good game v crows. Terrible tonight 

    Rohan has had 2 kicks.  Who would not have had a goal kicked on them in that onslaught?

    I think your post is the most embarrassing

    How? Sure, our performance this half has been awful and I can see why people are frustrated, but the abusive comments directed at certain players are just gutless.

    Admittedly we have not been good in the first half, BUT too much negativeism is floating in the place.  !!!!!!

    Losing at Centre bounce => Defence not ready => easy goals . Quite simple really.

    Viney taken high by Selwood - no free.

    And did Dangerfield shoulder Clarrie high?  Nothing to see Mr Christian

    Imagine some of the posters on this site were Carlton supporters at half time in the 1970 grand final. Some of the bile towards our team and players is woeful. Yes it a bad performance but whether we win or lose you still need three wins to claim the cup. Let see what transpires in the finals before we commit hari kari

    Yet we somehow lead in. inside 50s 30 - 27 ..... but no structure.

    That's our issue, we were on top for almost the first quarter and a half, dominated inside 50's, but compare Hawkins, Cameron, Rowan to Brown, McDonald and Fritsch. Their forwards only need a sniff and manage to find space....so frustrating. Makes me want to vomit.

     

    I come here, eat popcorn and inhale the hysteria. 

    I mean, this is the place for it right?

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
