Yet most weeks they call it every 5 seconds

 

Terrible first quarter, and should be down by more, yet the only goal came from a bit of poor discipline.

Yeah or incorrect disposal. No rewards for good tackles at all.

 

Holding the ball clearly only going to be paid one way. We need to get the ball in quick and put it to grass, not in the air. They have got numbers behind the ball. Anything aerial will suit them. Birch is a liability at time. Loses here Head too often and often plays selfish football - I’ve never understood the hype. 

Demons should get the ball into the forward line quickly and try to get a goal or 2 over the back. Doesn't look much chance of getting a goal any other way.

Noticed that myself.
Get tackled, just lay down.
Ball up.

Lots of pressure.  Birch undisciplined, fumbly.  Zanker has potential but her hands are not sure which is a pity.  Hore has no leg speed and Crows defenders are all fast.  Bannan’s marking was great wasn’t it.  ‘Better forward of the ball’ says coach Mick.  Have to agree.

 

Can't afford to lose maddie Gay. We need her physicality


We've got good running power. I think we need to stop trying to kick through Adelaide's defence and start trying to run through it.

Harris does not look 100% fit 

Sam Lane: "They're trying to tape that right calf, knee, thigh area"

That's called the entire leg Sam.


Adelaide keeping us in it, but we can't continue playing this way or we'll get smashed.

So HTB does exist, but only for Crom?

  • 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.
