    I hate to say it.  I love JVR, but he's just not there at the moment.  TMac tries his heart out, but I think the game has past him by now.  Ordinary from Clarry and Trac tonight.  We just don't have a functioning forward line.Cover Fritta and we are gone at the moment.

    I thought Petty started in defence

    Yeah he did, my bad

    Oh please, we had just as much to play for as Essendon.

    Good on them for pumping us, we are downhill skiers at the best of times.

    People will agree and disagree, fact is we went out in straight sets last year without a whimper.

    This performance shows me that if a few are off, do others stand up?

    We’ll probably respond next week, then who knows after that.

    It’s Essendon FFS.

    So we're 5 goals down. Those 5 goals we let both there ruckman kick. 

    Good they can stand out in the rain and cop it.

    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.

    I thought Goodwin had learnt from last year... Maybe we are wrong 🤔

    What about the two our ruckman should have kicked.

    The lack of leadership is the worst part of this game for me. Nobody has stood up today and wanted to really change the state of play. Embarrassing.

    Where the [censored] are our dangerous tackle frees? 
     

    Redman can flop around like an ice skater and get one. Petty gets pile driven into the ground with out the ball and gets [censored] all

    Our players are slung or pushed so many times after   they have kicked the ball.

    Oliver did try to impose himself in the last, too little too late.

    May is worrying at the moment.

    Getting this to under 20 points would be a huge win.

    • 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.
