POSTGAME: QF vs Sydney

We lost clearance when it mattered, our tackles didn’t stick, we were undisciplined and gave away 3 goals from 50s,  our inside 50 method was horrible for most of the game again and we missed gettable shots.

    Outfought, outmarked, outrun and outcoached by a vastly superior team on the night. In a  nutshell, totally outplayed. Only plus was Steven May's superb job on Buddy. TMac surely has to be considered for next week.

    Beaten. 
     

    Beaten by intensity and a better coach on the night. 
     

    Every normal Avenue we usually go to had a swans player ready to cut it off: 

     

    We were beaten.

    let that sink in.

    Yep I've been at the G for many of those losses. I really hate losing to them here. Or anywhere obviously, but especially here.

    Absolutely. He just isn’t good enough with his disposal for the middle.

    2.57 on Sportsbet for the swans was blatant robbery

    if you didn’t load up on that you have rocks in your head 

    How's the bath water you're gulping down?

    Sydney were very, very good tonight. They just played one of those games. 
     

    We’ve played one of those games before. Just not tonight. 
     

    Onward and upward.

    Our forwards take no ownership.

    Beaten by a better team, no need to panic 

    We were a little bit off outside of a couple of patches, very confident we will bounce back against the Lions next week

    lots of teams who win multiple flags have lost qualifying finals

    I feel sorry for the Victorian fans who had to wait 12 months to experience that rubbish

     

    Wish the boys had of thought about us poor Vic supporters. Very hard to watch. Wish Goody would've made changes in the second half. Having blind faith in the system doesn't always work.

    Not sure what much more Oliver could have done. Oliver was simply incredible.

    Sydney were simply awesome, no team would have beaten them tonight,

    But or forward line has some work to do otherwise our season ends next week or the one after.

    Gus did not lose us this game. Too many mistakes by too many, and too few putting in. Thank god for May and Oliver, or it would have been a walkover.

    Write the game off ... just a bad night.  Sydney were just too good and they taught us a lesson

    But we've got the double chance so all is not lost.  We live to fight another day

    We'll go with the same line-up I believe and I'm confident we'll beat Brisbane

    Do that and we are in a PF

    Oliver, May and Petty aside, we were weak, fumbly and unfocused. 
     

    I have said all season that our best is the best, but we have been at our best only a small handful of times this year. Today we were below average. Midfield was an embarrassment and forwardline performed as it has all year, badly.

    ANB was horrible, Melksham would have lost his spot, LJ was shocking. 

    Add Salem to that lot. Putrid disposal again. Bring Bowey back.

    Forward line disappears after half time need more structure and a CHF. Not a makeshift one like Gawn/Dogga.

    • 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.
