Need a better second half from Oliver. He’s been quiet by his standards. 

He’s a second half player, particularly against a tiring side. He’ll be right.

    This game should be over but it’s certainly not. You just need to your opportunities when they come.

    I'm filthy at the last 5 minutes, the missed chances and the umps. You don't give the Cats a look in. On the upside, the geriatrics have been run ragged, so I'm not sure they'll have the legs, but still. This game should have been put out of reach.

    We'll reset and come out breathing fire, but geez it's hard to wait until then. The HT wait is tough in these games

    Geelong look tired. 

    We got this.

    Yes but Danger's still got a few good dives left. He's not done yet

    Disgraceful given he holds a respected position in the Players association.

    He need a break on the sidelines to consider the example he is setting..

    we out scored them in the 2nd which is supposed to be one of their best quarters. Time for the fitter dees to run over the top of them.

    Excellent first half.

    Gawn robbed of a free kick before Smith kicked that goal.

    Lost a bit of composure in the forward 50 at the end, need to be taking out chances.

    That Fritsch miss was a bad one.

    Clearances and conversion still the key.

    Hawkins casual whack to petty’s head on the boundary akin to causal racism. Needs to be called out by the umps.

    x costly Goalkicking misses Trac And Fritsch were 80/20 chances 

    🤮umps - gifts for cats

    Fritsch was straight in front, Tracs was on an angle.

    I had a sleepness night last night, but when I did drift off had a vivid dream of the final score tonight, and BOG.

    Wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.

    Would it be bad luck to post it here?

    In your dream was the Dee's who won?

    Fritter and Petracca should have kicked those goals. Game would have been almost over at half time. But now Geelong have a sniff. If we lose from here, no one to blame but ourselves. Having said that, I would take a 5 goal lead at half time on a prelim any day of the week. If our fitness is as good as we think it is, we power into a granny.

    You’re spot on. Sadly, it’s now or never for Maysie. If he can help us get there, his job is done, because he won’t be there in 2 weeks.

    Maybe they think he won't do any more damage as long as he plays within his limits and he's out there to general the backline on 1.5 legs

    heavy tag on oliver as expected, no frees for the constant holding, high tackles, etc.. gawn constantly being held and pushed in the back and gets nothing.

    No idea how a two hander full in the back in a marking contest is ok, but a couple of hands placed in the side in a ground ball contest is a free.

    Whorekins gets away with it  every Ruck contest and nearly every possession he gets. Mutt.

    I’m not comfortable yet, but if we get to 44pts up there’s no way this Cats side is coming back from that.

    This game has a similar feel to it as the Brisbane win. We were 9 goals to 5 at half time and wasted plenty of scoring opportunities in the 2nd quarter.

    So nervous I could spew. Come on boys!  Trac and Kozzie have done some ridiculous things - skills simply on another plane.  Viney a beast.  Take our chances when we have the ascendancy and we've got this!

    • 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.
