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?

    • 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.
