0 stars. We were absolutely putrid. No winners.

Defense so so so much better when Petty was down there.

    Phew, take that any day. A few things to work on during the week. I thought McVee with some subtle touches saved a couple of goals in the second half.

    Top game!

    A hard fought win against a tough opponent !

    They picked through our defence too easily at times but , in the end, some big moments from Max, Tracc , Oliver in the last quarter got us over the line.

    Some confusing umpiring again.

    Fritta - an absolute mare!

    J.Viney won that game for us.

    Disgusting commentary by Dunstall, barracking for the Suns and calling umps decisions that weren’t even there.

    Matt Rowell is an unbelievable clearance player, and made Trac and Clarry look second rate at times. 

    I thought Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Trent Rivers, Jake Bowey, and Judd McVee were the only ones who came close to winning their position on the night.

    We did get lucky with a few calls in the last. No doubt about it. 

    They were a man down for half of the last quarter too.

    Take the points and hope we never play like this again. 

    My god some players need to do some work on the track this week 

    I was very nervous with may kicking out. Again he went the stupid option but thank goodness Viney was there.

    We were lucky to get out of that.

    Bring back BBB. Petty is so much better down back and he steadies us.

    Start Max forward next week and let Brodie ruck the majority.

    Got out of jail big time.

    The Suns were very good and very unlucky not to win

    Plenty to work on but we’ll bank the 4 points and move on

    And Fritschy will never play a worse game than that

    GC came to play, but we were generally poor with flashes of brilliance, such as the Trac, Kozzie and Chandler goals. Defence was yuck, and it is so confusing that we got smashed again in the middle.

    Oliver and Frittata worst games for a long time. 

    Very lucky in the end. We take the points, but we have a lot of work to do.

    As soon as I saw him with ball in hand I thought we were cooked. He is such a dumb player under pressure. 

    My kingdom for a fit Salem! 
     

    Fritta needs to walk home. He nearly cost us that game in the last. Also goodbye 35 game goal kicking streak.

    We won without any of our key forwards barely doing anything. Phew!

    Any top 4 side would've killed us tonight

    Umm and a few others down back. Trac and Jack really lifted in the last.

    Wow what a finish, not sure May is the best use of the pill when we need to kill quarters and end of game. Both end of 3rd and end of game makes poor decisions.

    • 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.
