If this is true I couldn't give a stuff. Our season was going down the toilet and one of our leaders had the temerity to do something about it. If anything it is good coaching by May.

A team that can think for themselves on field is not a bad thong. I know we're a system based team and its easy to think we should just have a field of drones but with 5 mins left and staring down the barrel how much do you want to stick with the system?

This kind of stuff has happened in every sport I've played and at top level. Watch this video Will Schofield made a decision in the 2018 GF to pee bolt forward leaving De Goey on his own. In a weird way it helped as McGovern ended up in the position Schofield would have been in and being more of a floater he took that mark which started the infamous chain down the field.

Point is this stuff happens and when it comes off there isn't a lot of complaing. Goodwin has a right to be aggrieved but I'm sure he'll get over it.

    I hope for Goodwin's sake it was his call rather than May's.

    Petty was responsible for literally every score involvement which gave us a faint chance, and therefore I assumed it was good coaching by a coach that didn't have a great 2022. 

     

    It doesn't sound like Goodwin at all in my view 

    Thank God someone is prepared to make calls when under the pump ie TRYING TO WIN THE BLOODY GAME!!!

    And if it was made by May great proactive move, should've been made 5 minutes earlier 

    Petty to CHF was the move to make at 3 quarter time. Joel Smith to replace a mid/small.

    We had no marking presents in the F50 all from R11 till the Finals series the good teams took advantage of this.

    Teams knew this and were rebounding for fun against us.

      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.
