Five Key Questions 

1- The Gawn injury update? By Monday we hope to have some answers. (Can we thrive with Grundy as sole ruckman  )

2- Smashed in the clearances. Smashed!! How? Why?
Lost clearances 30-60. Centre clearances 10-20. Stoppages 20-40. You cannot win in those numbers. 

3- Harmesy. Career worst game. I don’t like to single individuals but wow he was bad. How? Why? Tackling was terrible. Disposal poor.  Fumbled all night. Didn’t tag so ineffective. Metres gained 40. Frees against 4.  He cannot stay in. 

4- Poor coaching or players ignoring strategy.  Why did we play the slow and stop and wide ball movement game. Who’s coaching this? Simply allowed Lions to block the passages to goal. When we moved the footy quickly and ran, we were dangerous (especially in the last 11 minutes). 

5- How good was Lachie Hunter? Very good. He was smart and creative. Looked to score and add extra defensive and attacking runs. Very good addition. Langdon looked out of sorts but Hunter proudly represented the Wingers club 

On the second point Yze is the midfield coach did nothing while the onslaught went on in the first quarter.

Third point Harmes is to slow with not great footy IQ

Point four, it has a lot to do with disposals we are poor at kicking over an oppositions head when there is 10 metre space in-between them and us, players not spreading in the forward line we just bombed it in again.

But I wonder whether they have the guts to drop, Harmes, Tmac and Melk and bring in some youth.

    Wasn’t able to listen live… how soon does the podcast become available on the cloud? 

    Usually it's up within the hour, at least in my experience.

    An excellent podcast as always!

    Thank you for answering my questions @Demonland.

     

    Hopefully the match committee gives in to the "pressure" from all of us here at Demonland and selects Jacob van Rooyen in the Melbourne side against Sydney.

    The reaction to the DL social media and complaining about the 4 - 6 was hilarious. Anyone who understands sport and was watching on Fri knew that this was a blessing of a result.

    • 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.
