Horrible game in Adelaide 

I’m enjoying it. Lots of turnovers and skill errors but it’s a fast close contested game. Pies off a short break. Let’s see if the Burgess effect gets Crows home in the last.

    Unfortunately Adelaide are about 6 goals short of not getting overrun in the last quarter.

    True. I dont mind a good low scoring scrap but this one for me is hard to watch. You wouldnt think they are two of the top teams going right now and bad kicking is just bad footy.

    Yet they can be outplayed for significant periods of matches by average to good sides. It’s odd. Crows kick straight and the Pies would be almost out of the match. 

    Exactly right. If you spend enough time in forward 50, with scoreboard relief (what Adelaide haven’t achieved enough), they start taking higher risks, but vigilance and trying to meet their pressure is everything. This quarter will be fascinating. Only 3 straight kicks down, knowing they’ve won 9 games of 11 coming from behind in the last quarter. Adelaide know this too!

    That moment when you had too many anytime goalscorers and it's a low scoring game

    Nothing surer than Pies winning this. Adelaide just wasted this game away.

    Millera having a mare today.  Been much better in the other Adelaide games I’ve seen this year.

    Wow

    No free for the broken nose

    No blood rule

    And then pay deliberate when the ball is interfered with by the bleeding player and 2 trainers helping him off

    Wow, look out for the umpires in Adelaide

    • 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.
