GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon

Everyone complaining about Kayo. Pay a bit extra a month for Foxtel. Better value and a better overall football experience.

Anyway, Essendon got 4 goals either directly from free kicks or from free kicks up the ground. Most probably there but debateable given they weren't called both ways.

They are targeting our backline because of no Lever, pretty obvious.

Their strings of possesion were very concerning. Especially given they aren't a very fast team.

Draper tearing us up is giving me an aneurysm. If Stringer gets involved next, I'll vomit.

    We have a few worries but are only a only eight points down. The resting ruckman for Essendon is causing problems isolating Tomlinson.

    When van Roo rucks we're getting thrashed in the middle.

    Petty's form and now injury is a big concern.

    TMac looks off.

    McVee probably needs to use the first option.

    Brayshaw doing very well.

    Clarry only two possessions at quarter time. Unprecedented!

     

    We look lazy and entitled at times.

    They are getting a lot of momentum from free kicks (most of them are deserved but hard to maintain that over 4 quarters)

    Our stars and match winners need to lift.

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide. 

    Exactly, they can't keep scoring from centre clearance surely

    It’s a lot more money. Money we can’t afford. I can barley justify $30 for Kayo.

    Melksham kicking a bag against the Bombers would make a win that bit more special.

    Wasn't sure about Melksham but boy was I wrong.

    I had Kayo for a month and then got rid of it. Pathetic service

    Oliver having a mare. What is happening?

    Petty stinking it up too. Not good enough. 

    Grundy not on the line, he really runs his own race

    Setterfield did a number on him at Carlton last year too I think. 

    Can't rely on the back 6 today, need to win the midfield battle

    • 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.
