Why the heck are we playing a defensive, around the boundary line style against the bottom side? Seriously take the bloody game on

    Hopefully we saved the best for last. Hawks turned up the intensity that quarter

    Because we suffer from CAS (corridor aversion syndrome)

    Partly due to no one leading up at the ball since Petty went off?

    Also until Max switched in late, Grundy got smacked in the third in center bounces and we handed all the momentum (via clearances) to the Hawks

    I hear what your saying but surely when you have an undersized forward line, the slow play around the boundary is only going to allow them to flood into our 50, making it near impossible for us to score 


    Subject to fitness, BBB straight in next week if Petty's injured

    Another very solid game from Gus


    So you're allowed to drag the ball under and just sit on it now??  Oh right....only if it's in front of our goals

    Another horribilis for the umps tonight.  What a sham

    Dunstalls commentary (or should I say barracking for the Dawks) is somewhat unfriggin bearable 🤫

    I don’t know what you are taking about

    seems to be even to me

    no irony

    ANB our leading KTF !  :jakovich:

    Another game, exact same old problems.  Skill level & wasted forward connection/composure. Geelong & Collingwood would tear us apart.  One quarter of elite pressure and then couldn't be assed and started back pedalling through the middle.

    Can't really work out who has played well today.  Quite a forgettable one.  Still can't see any improvement from the back end of last year tbh.

    P.S - May has an amazing habit of getting in the right spot but then dropping the mark. 🤔

    • 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.
