It seems an absolute eternity since bang bang bang.  
Come on Dees - make a statement.  
PS buy a strong marking forward, somehow, over the trade period.  It is THE difference between garbage and success. BBB is stuffed.

    He’s having a great game but he’s missed three sitters still which might be costly. Were they not sitters? We must be watching different games 

    I'd hardly call all 3 of them sitters. 1 of the 3 perhaps. 2 at a massive stretch of the definition of a sitter.

    We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

    I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

    You can see it coming a mile away. We will get overrun. 


    Well just as I bag Tracc he shows some good form.

    Always the way.

    Hope he keeps it up.

     

    Forward line ... not quite happening, chemistry just not there. Playing as a group of (talented) individuals rather than a team. Odd, as they've had plenty of time together.

    Missing Tom Macdonald to help get the system working again?

    Can we try Petty up fwd?

    With Disco in  defence. 
    Ir debut JVR next week.  Anything else is worth a try. 
    This is not working. 
    Just cannot have Melksham and Frittata as our only forwards.

    I can see Spargs or ANB getting the bullet for someone, may as well be another borderline player with no awareness or game sense 

    Try up forward was the suggestion, not many other options and the current set up is going nowhere

    Start bagging some more of the blokes please! 😂

    I’d like to win, for a lot of reasons, but mostly so I can stick it up the whiners sitting around me.

    Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for. 

    Correct.

    And our last F50 entry we turned over as usual, we had a guy on his own screaming for it 30 out and ignored.

    We must reverse this narrative CYB. No other option.

    Where was Langdon most of that quarter?

    Not really the same since his injury I feel.

    Just a limping shadow of last year. Carlton without Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett should mean this game goes one way. And yet they’re making us look slow, uncertain, fumbly and secondary at contests. Their plan for this quarter will be pressure, turnover, forward at speed. Ours will be the predictable usual, allowing them to set up that manic contest again. Like last week, we won’t get  it done that way.

    Sensing (hoping) a big last quarter from Fritsch 🤞

    Well 3 touches for the night would indicate he is fresh

     

    I think we should bomb it into our forward 50 this quarter. See how we go

      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.
