If Brown and Trac find something we win this well. 
Lobb is such a gun. What a shocking game for May to get injured. Especially with Buddy next week too. 

Buddy could have to answer to the MRO.

    With no May down there, Lobb the worry.

    Just going to have to stop the ball getting down there. Gawn or Jackson may have to help out down there

    Hope so but at least we have Tomlinson ready to go. He'll be ok

    Much better quarter but once again inaccurate kicking.

    Ideally we need goals and behinds at a ratio of 2:1 not 1:1 or worse

    Strong third quarter and ease through the fourth


    Our tall forwards are indeed a worry. None in good form.

    At worst, we could kick in long and high, they just need to bring the ball to ground and let Kozzie and Toby go to work

    Will be hard to hold a mark in the 2nd half. Ground is dewy.

    Freo will come out hard in 3Q so the boys need to be ready for it. Game is nowhere near over. 

    Wish Tommo was the sub but he’ll get his chance next week.

    TMac has been OK of late, shame he's not out there (in more ways than one as he could have covered for May if necessary).

    4-6 we kicked that quarter. Wasted some opportunities

    At least we’re consistent 🤦


    Its an admirable thing to do by the club to get Melk to 200 games.

    One would think he would play a blinder but far from it.

     

    Edited by leave it to deever

    What was our adjustment in the backline?

    Clarry excellent. Maxy, Viney and ANB very good

    Can see why Freo are a low scoring team. Great defensively but very stodgy ball movement and poor accuracy

    Just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over. 65-70 points is more than enough to win today

    That's a big part of the problem though. We're really kicking it on top of their heads a lot this year. Thought we turned  a corner last week, some good signs with forward delivery. Hopefully it's better in the second half.

    Not that that's the only problem of course, but it's the main one IMO.

    People laughed when I said pick van rooyen. Better than either forward below the knees

    Our two key forwards aren't worth a bumper so far. 

    What’s the going price for a bumper these days Old Dee?

    Good question I have been trying to work that out.

    Wow! This is one powerful team!

    What I like:

    Viney: In full beast mode.

    Bedford: that speed is mesmerising.

    Kozzie!!!!

    Max turning it on in the second quarter with his own clearances.

    Petty filling in for May.

    Lever doing great.

    Things to work on:

    Petracca is quiet.

    Rivers has made a few blues.

    Jacko could do a bit more especially with Lobb being so dangerous.

    • 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.
