May playing his worst ever game.  Defence looking shaky

Trying to break tackles

Too little talking

Stengle playing v well

Bedford outmanoeuvred twice

Salem missing targets

What's with our players getting tackled but disposing of the ball but getting pinged??

Pressure is huge. Cats are primed

Only 2 pts down. We can wear them down.

    Viney, Harmes and May were all culprits that quarter is costing us goals and genuine turnovers.

    So disappointing that these are supposed leaders who are letting us down.

    Wouldn’t mind seeing Sparrow tried down back in future. Brings pressure, has pace, could play more lockdown potentially. We need his type down back IMO.

    This is how Geelong have such a good home ground advantage. We seem so confused with the lack of space on wings. Everything is compressed and we can't play our regular game style.

    Not really look at up the ground footage after a kick in you 1 or 2 cats players all by themselves in our forward line, and why do our forwards always start from behind?

    Playing a switched on Cats on a narrow ground, take the first option to dispose of the ball please. Trying to break tackles and baulking the first tackler looking for a target is costing us.

    Trying to play the Cats own precise  possession game instead of going long & direct once in the clear is costing us big time.

    Once in the clear off HB and pressure closing, back your players up the field and go long.  The extra handball or short kick to another player under pressure is killing any momentum and also our forwards chances of winning any one on ones.

    BB solid first quarter and much more involved.  Takes two contesteds on the wing, then goes back to assess but takes way too long.  Cats all flooded back.  Opportunity lost.  Move it on quickly inside 50 with a low raking kick towards a Maxy or Dogga and let the smalls go to work.

    • 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.
