    Need to tidy up stoppages and stop allowing Daniel and co to sit off the back of packs.

    Few of of our players MIA and need to get into the game. Kozzy could be the spark.

    Biggest issue is that we’re not lowering our eyes moving the ball into the forward line. 
    Petracca, Viney and Oliver are all guilty

    Absolute rubbish. 

    Yikes, you've gone hard there Webber.

    Fritsch had 7 disposals against the Lions, 4 effective (and 4 goals, I concede). But his other three were ineffective.

    He had 13 against the cats, with 8 effective (and 2 goals). So 20 disposal before today with 12 effective, or 60% de. His season average is 68%. At the moment he's got 6 with 3 effective, so 50%.

    Poor may have been harsh, but he has not been as clean as he usually is.

    Huge effort needed from here

    we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter 

    Bulldogs gambled playing just on the edge and it paid off. throws for handballs, going to ground in tackles, push here and there. experience showing.

    Pity Bont’s car didn’t break down on the way to this game.

    Need some Kozzie magic

     

    Got to get it up forward this quarter by hook or by crook then he can get going. First quarter were mainly clean entries, second quarter it hardly got up there. Midfield must lift.

    WHY AND HOW THE FUURG GOODWIN IS DANIELS BEING ALLOWED TO RUN AROUND UNTAGGED???

    I seriously don't get this.  If this is left unchecked it will go down as one of the worst unchecked decisions in a GF.  Surely with all the guys in the box someone is seeing it and will make the move!!!????

    Maybe it’s not meant to happen until it can happen where it should, at the MCG full of Melbourne fans.

    Who runs with Bont when he drifts forward? 


    This quarter will be the either the best or the worst I've ever seen in my life.

    I'm grateful for that at least .

    Exciting times you pack of nutjobs.

    Bless you all.

    I feel sick right now. I just hope we can get our game together, the system has worked and can work again but we do need to stop the quick ball supply into their 50. 

    And when we get it we must lock it in our 50. When we do that and get a look at goal, take it. Come on Demons, it is not over until it is over. 

    I honestly want to vomit, this is not good. I think I can safely say everyone on Demonland is feeling very similar.

    Our players need to perfect the art of ducking into tackles. Rewards you with free shots on goal that result in goals (per Lachie Hunter).

    Cos they’re rushing the ball in and swarming the contest, then contesting better at ground level than us with receivers just off the contest. They’re first to the loose ball, and first to any contest, and in possession, their skills are slaughtering us. That’s their brand, and it works when you allow them to dominate the pressure game. We got rattled, started fumbling, kicking to no-one, and giving nothing handballs. Only chance we get back into it is contest harder and blitz the ball forward at every opportunity. Every opportunity.  It’s gonna take something special. Go Dees


    Daniels presently heading for NS ... the Bont not far away either

    Exactly what I’m thinking.

    They had the bounce of the ball really go their way that quarter. That generally evens out.

    In r19 we lost 9.11 to 13.7. We need to take our chances. Got to bring back that intense pressure from Q1 and grab this game by the scruff. 

    Let's snag one in the first minute, start the quarter with some momentum, because it was very much against us at the end of Q2.

    Go Dees!

    • 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.
