Result is probably not going to change much about where we are at as a team. The lack of intensity perfectly encapsulated in Brayshaw taking 17 seconds to try and dispose of the ball while deep in defence. 29 tackles to 44. It might be that we are simply an overrated team, but our lack of real fight is the bigger blight.

    As much as Brayshaw needs a rocket up his [censored], that free kick against was Blatent cheating

    Damn frustrating game to watch with the performance of the umps and our dreadful disposal.

    backs look better with Lever there but they are suffering from the same as the rest of the team because of the Tiger's pressure their disposals are off. 

    No forward line to speak of. Very dysfunctional. let's try playing an experienced forward sometimes soon.

    Mids.... so many superstars and so very little results at the center bounces. Who is our midfield coach?? 

    Work harder at the basics, bring pressure and  look to secure and keep the ball.

     

    We can win this.

    Mate they ain't superstars even if they are very good.

    Superstars always give you the goods 

    Strange game where Ed Langdon comfortably leads our tackle count!?!

     

    An absolute bin diesel of a performance. I cannot for the life of me believe we are 2 points down, we are not playing at the level required to win this football game. Richmond are still the better side tonight and we need a champion effort in the last quarter. Champion teams have 3 bad quarters then do what needs to be done to win the game.

    The challenge is set Demons, rise to it.

    Another game where we're getting beaten in contested possessions so far.

    Worst umpiring I have seen  so one way against us

    It's not just the soft ones paid to tigers, it's the myriad to us totally ignored.

    But we are still in it and seem faster than tigers now.

    Umpire #20 needs to go and get absolutely [censored]

    I have never wanted to punch a [censored] umpire so much in my life. I wish him the spiciest diarrhea. 

    Didn't he also umpire us last week? Wikipedia tells me his name is Brian Hay and he's umpired 79 games.  Don't know how to find details of previous week's umpiring but it all feels a bit familiar...

    Are people paying attention to Richmond's effort?

    Hate to say it, but Pickett isn’t playing for the team. 

    Correct.


    We need Brodie, JVR & Harry to have a big last quarters.

    Max looks knackered.

    Umpiring aside...

    I have not been up off my chair yelling at the screen since the 2021 GF, but this time it incredulous fury. It is simply not possible for a squad with this talent to make so many fundamental football errors, both in decision making AND skill. It looks like 2012/2013 /2014 team. 

    And as for those pathetic, "get-rid-of-the-ball-quickly" handballs that go 50 cms, or the loopy one over the top so 2 Richmond players can cause physical pressure or damage, can't the on-field leadership correct that?

    Something not right with May I feel. So far off his normal self. Lever rusty but better that term.

    Petty not really a forward, doesn't have the craft, and with JVR outpointed by someone bigger/stronger/more experienced, forward line is only just functioning.

    Someone needs to pull him aside and tell him he ain't Jeremy Howe.

    Lever with 1 hand casually misses the ball. Facepalm.

    • 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.
