Why is it that the Pies small forwards always have so much space and Kossie has to work his way through a cast of thousands.

They kick to loose men and we bomb it in usually to the boundary.

Loved that chase by Hunt.  Was a mile off and they looked like they were going to waltz in and slam it through for a goal, but Hunt's chase and pressure they kicked to the square and it got rushed through or something.

Exactly the sort of act which will see him hold his place in the team.

That was an epic chase - was traveling 3 times faster than the ball carrier

    Moderately happy if still nervous but whats with our obsession with that pocket!?!!

    PS - I love BBB.

    Yes! Missing so many free players dead centre and straight in front and kicking to contests in a dead left hand pocket. Just weird

    Seeing pies in person shows me why they have won 10 in a row, such a hard running team, they might be getting smashed round the ball but you can’t deny they know when to get on the bike. If they outlast us we might get overrun

    Stop kicking to the pockets

    everyone stop flying for marks in the pockets ok?

    couple Of times - Jackson and brown - ignored streaming runners top of 50 right in front and elected to kick to pockets instead

     

    Fix cr-p decision making and we win this

    we need a KPF like McKay king etc who can rake marks and an epic CHF

    Spot on. Why the pockets?? It’s so easy to defend

    Because we always kick it to the same pocket.

    ....and then it goes over the back for an easy clearance. It's infuriating. I think the point is to lock it in there but it's not working.

    This is a very entertaining game but I would rather it not be so entertaining and us have more control over it even though we should be a lot further in front. 
    Oliver’s timing of hitting the ball at clearances looks strangely off, Max if he had kicked straight would be having some game really needs to sort his goal kicking out.

    Loved the unselfish handball from Fritta in the first!  Take a bow son.

    Time to shove that fork where it don't shine Demons!!

    The “they can’t sustain this “ narrative may prove to be way off …. They may well do exactly that ….. 


    Is it just me or is Jackson starting to find his form just at the right time 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.
