Can't blame the coaches for everything. Players do have brains. Allegedly.

It’s the coaches job to get these players fired up. We are watching top 4 slip away and nobody cares. 
Get angry FFS!!!!

 

So much for the midfield group stepping up to cover Clarry not being there. Hopeless.

Our forward entries are putrid. Bomb it in or when we have a fast break into attack our forwards run back toward goal instead of up to the ball carrier

Summary up to 3Qtr time 

overhandballing 

turnovers 

losing clearances 

bombs to inside 50

goody outcoached again 

missed tackles 

missed opportunities Fritsch Spargo Kozzzy 

Surely Spargo has to be dropped 

WHAT CAN WE DO?

Just need to be smarter going inside 50

use the corridor 

stick tackles 

 

These guys still think it is 2021, selfish and soft football.

They aren't going to win games burning so many opportunities and palying selfish football.

 

Nothing short of pathetic. Of Goodwin's 6.5 seasons as coach we've put up with 4 seasons of just average football that gets beaten as soon as the pressure is brought around the ball. Freo are a ruckman down, their spuds are running rings around us. It is a common narrative against us.

Voss v Goodwin next week is battle of No Game Plan From Planet B Coaches.

Our clearance game is so rubbish. We need wholesale changes next week.

JVR, Chandler; probably AnB all gotta go

We have too many smalls in the forward line. One of Spargo, Chandler and ANB need to come out for a mid or tall forward.

ANB for Melksham.

TMac is just stamping his authority on this game.

Serious ?? He has been🤮

Our entries to the forward line stink. We have learned nothing 


How terrible is Grundy, geez Colingwood ripped us off

Looking forward to the post game thread where people can tell us we don’t understand players roles.

We overcomplicate this game.

This score line is not the umpires fault.. we are playing negative & uninspiring footy. Our game plan is playing right into their hands. No dare. 

And what gameplan is that?

Pick 13 for Jackson... such good negotiators we are

But last week Perth media hawking he's no action Jackson.

Except of course we let him have his best game. So us of old.

Forget winning a flag. We can't even win this one.

The wheels have really just fallen off. 

Tmac shouldn't play again and Grundy and gawn need to take a look at themselves. Lever and may too.

Top 4 ? We have the hardest draw in the 2nd half. We are a chance to drop out of top 8 after the next 4 games as we have 0-4 written all over us.

If players need someone to motivate them, they have an issue.

I’d like to see Gawn hit it to a player in blue just once out of the middle, stand up skipper and be a match winner!

 

We have problems everywhere Center clearances, defensive stoppages, ball movement, goal kicking.

We aren't that quick either.

Alarm bells are ringing in my head.

 

If this is how our midfield operates without Oliver then we have a pretty long month ahead.

  • 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.
