True, but our defensive lines were poorer in my opinion. 13.11 should be a winning score.  We average 60 points against when Lever, May and Petty are all in the same side.  Not tonight though.  The defenders lost far too many one on ones.

 

Count the missed sitter goals by us, that then just rebounded for goals by them.

If we kicked a few of the gimmes we win. Should have been up by about 6-7 goals at half time. Our poor kicking for goal kept them within distance.

    Howe said after the game it was on the whiteboard & McCrae even got in on it & said he had duck for dinner.

    Goody said in the presser Ed got his words wrong

    When you keep opening your mouth and making stupid comments, you'd better be able to perform. Ed was terrible from midway through the 2nd quarter. Very disappointing.

    I reckon we're the one trick pony. Our plan A has been worked out

    Yep. I know exactly what our players will do , every time we have possession from a mark, free kick, or kick in. It's all % based and works mostly. But being so predictable is starting to be found out by sides who adapt and take some risks

    I'm a massive fan of Ed - clearly an intelligent and articulate guy - I guess that's why he gets put up for media ops. However this isn't the first instance - reference comments re Ross Lyon. Sadly we probably won't hear much from him for the rest of the year.

    • 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.
