Absolutely embarrassing being around these [censored] Port and Essendon supporters, i had to move otherwise there would have been no more football for me.

Pisssss poor performance.

All on our fortress they have dumped a load on us friggen, disgusting.

Lackadaisical performance, drug cheats hungrier in the contest and cleaner.

    He put Petty back in the third. He should have been back half way through the first.

    Geez we've been really selfish up front as well

    I thought Petty started in defence

     

    What a shocker.

    Too many learnings.

    We stank.

    Sorry but it's true.

    I can't see this team winning a premiership if I'm honest.

    Bbb had better have been injured but I don't think it would have mattered much.

    Our newcomer in Grundy was the only player to show some leadership in the first half.

    Yep we've played behind all game which is inexcusable but especially in the wet.

    Lol Essendon can't do anything wrong atm, best game they'll play all year.

    Best game they will play all year.

    Hard to find winner for us.

    McVee, Tracc, and Petty's 3rd qtr

    Chandler and Viney have worked hard

    Surely May is injured 

    This has really shown us up. We can either embrace it and change for the better, or just ignorantly paper over the cracks thinking it will all just sort itself out.

    Nope just a really really bad day. If he's out there he's good to go. Not copping any injury excuses

    We've been belted today in a very ruthless manner.

    This was more Melbourne losing than Essendon winning. We had no run and looked slow from the first bounce. Essendon is extremely mid. Bad loss. Onto next week.

    We’ve changed a lot over summer, maybe we just change back to how we played against Sydney?

     


     

    their pressure and structure is to focused for us... We havent looked like we have had the right mindset and effort all day.  To top it off it's one of those days where all the bounces and drops seem to fall their way.  Though when you put more effort it, that tends to happen.  I blame listening to the end of the podcast from last week this morning and how we had their measure... jinxed it :(

    May often struggles when he doesn’t have a big name opponent or a bad full forward to play on. He gets caught between trying to do his duties for the zone and manning up a mobile opponent. When the up field pressure drops off he gets in [censored] spots

    • 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.
