JB just said laconic

The misuse of this word, especially when describing footy players, is so irritating. I’m assuming they mean “lackadaisical”?

    Lions much better than Carlton tonight. They've beaten them in all areas. Hard to see Carlton making top 4 based on this game.

    Intensity at, over and around the ball missing.  No run.

    When they haven't got the pill it's very much the same.  Pressure is way off.

    Blues have regressed so far this season

    Lions are a much harder team this year. they're right in the mix to win the flag

    How bad must be the Eagles be if Carlton is dishing up this 💩 tonight.

    And on a totally unrelated note I had no idea we had the best % in the comp.

    Totally agree. Definitely will be in the top four at season’s end

    Carlton footy club is the very definition of meh.  I feel absolutely nothing for them.

    Before round 1, I picked Carlton for 9th. Apart from Weitering, their defence is full of NQR's. If they can't stop Hipwood (who I once rated but now consider him less than average) they won't stop many good scoring teams.

    I feel like Hipwood gets off the chain 3-4 times a year because their forward line is stacked with potentially damaging players. In an ordinary side I reckon he’d struggle.

    Have to say Harry McKay is one of the laziest forwards, just watch how far he trails behind people when the opposition has the ball, and even when the contest is near, he is a witches hat! 

    Also Carlton are too scared to take a risk into the corridor, everything is out wide and down the wings, and Brisbane are just waiting, dumb football.

    Maybe Carlton won't make the finals.

    Oh the irony of them missing by half a game after their draw with Tigers.

    Well it is a big word, even though it was not the appropriate one - lackadaisical

    Carlton aren't physical enough to match Brisbane. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Bruise free perhaps

    Carlton need a coach. Voss might have been a great player but he is not a coach.

    Voss, Hird, Buckley in the same boat.

    At the ground with a Blues supporting mate.

    Saad is clueless, deer in headlights stuff. Blues defence sloppy and lazy (mids not getting back fast enough). McKay is useless once the ball hits the deck.

    Their movement out of the backline is constantly to the flanks and wings (where have I seen that before).

    Don’t know if Lions are good enough for a serious tilt, but Carlton sure ain’t.

    Carlton will be out of the eight by the end of this round and I can not see them getting back in. I just [censored] because I changed my tip from The Lions to the Blues just before the game started

    Ikr, my gut had picked Lions.  I'm running the tips for myself and a friend, and she asked if it was smart going against the betting odds in favour for Carlton.  Changed us both to the blues and the regret is strong 😂

    Richo is really just about as dumb as BT - the entire commentary is moronic bloke banter.  Unfortunately this season I have been unable to sync digital, direct or AFL app radio commentary.

    "If Carlton get a goal they will be 27 points down - they are now 33 down, BT".  WOW.

    I take it back when I said we should have gone for McKay. Curnow is the star in that fwd line.

    • 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.
