The chances we have had going inside F50, our delivery has been poor. Twice, Tom MacDonald on the perfect lead, each time kicked over his head. Fritsch's field kicking is a worry.

But it is Port's forward spread from a stoppage that is killing us. Our defensive mindset was missing. And our groundball play is ugly.

    Should be further behind. Look understimulated and playing safe. 6 touches in total between Trac and Viney. Need to get some heat on the contest and some pressure when the ball, comes to ground inside 50. 

    Surely we have the highest % of giving away goals in the last minute of quarters?

    Petty out is simply a disaster. We cannot get the ball past the half back line.

    lose play theirshort passing is excellent our coverage of their lose men is woeful and our smalls are virtually non-existent when the ball comes to ground. Not a good first quarter, hopefully they will pull their finger out and cover the lose men dont give them easy possessions through the middle of the ground. without that 50m we would have scored 2points for the quarter. 

     


    Port have 5 players around the ball to our 2.whats happened to Lever the last few games?

    As predicted, its all about the midfield. Drew, Butters, Rozee, Wines, etc well on top.

    Got a case of the fumble fingers.

    Port look clean and always have somebody there. Are there 22 of them out there?

    Gotta bring some intensity!!!

    Game day thread in meltdown already. You’d think this team deserves a bit of credit, no? 

    This is not 2021 sadly.

    Another poor quarter. We’re yet to find our rhythm against any decent teams yet this year. Still plenty of time to get going tonight, but we need to adjust to the wet conditions. We’re fumbling the ball and slipping over and getting sucked into the contest. As soon as one port player wins the ball and flicks it outside the inner ring, they’ve got numbers and take off while we’re left flat footed. They’re basically doing to us what we perfected in 2021.

    Pretty concerning how we have played against top 8 contenders this year. they beat us the same way every time. Quick movement through corridor off turnover. Numbers in F50. A healthy Richmond doesn't get run over. 

    Lots of time to turn it around but we've just consistently struggled against top 8 teams since Round 11 2021.

    Petty out is a disaster I agree, but we have 14 inside 50s to 15, so we are getting it down there. Delivery to our forwards is pox!

    OLIVER ON 11 OR SO STANDING UP

    Yeah but what is he doing with his possessions? I could kick it out to nobody or handball it over my head

    Start guarding players NOT grass. After the kick in or turn  over in our forward line PICK YOUR OPPONENT UP.....FfS. And why are we still in 2023 the worst team in the last 2 minutes of every quarter. Give up goals and it's happened for as long as I've watched footy. How about make a tackle stick too. [censored] start. 

    This is going to be an absolute smacking unfortunately.

    This is why you play an extra tall Defender Goody..

    Burton was too tall for Hibberd.

    • 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.
