This is embarrassing now. Losing is fine. I have expected it was coming for a while, we really haven't been that good for a while but this is not a proper loss. We've had no answers and there have been a lot of passengers today. This isn't panic stations obviously but other teams will be looking at our lack of response with interest.

We've clearly got underdone, gassed and injured players. We had two soft lead in games. The Dockers have been amazingly switched on. 
We learn what we can, regroup and come out firing next week.

Unfortunately this is the first top 4 side we’ve played all year and they killed us. So you have to question the result. 
Teams have shown that they know how to play us. This is the first side that has been good enough to do it. And they did it convincingly.

    been brewing for a few weeks.
    havent been out of 2nd/3rd gear, lots of turnovers in the forward half and garbage going inside 50.

    finally play a team that can challenge us and we get smacked.

    not the end of the world, only finals matter, but they better start improving soon

    No mate, we gifted the game from centre clearance. We dominated in the 2nd so what the heck are they doing in the third?

    On top of that once Freo caught up with us in the score you have to do something, Goodwin not good enough today

    Credit to Freo. They’ve smashed us in every conceivable way. They’re a good team. 

    This is a wake up call for the players. Yes we’ve got some injured to key players, but the ones out there got smashed in the contest. Bugger all tackles and out worked both ways. Hopefully we get some players back and can reset. We’re still a game clear on top of the ladder and in a great spot.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
