Goodwin is the equivalent of a downhill skiing coach. He needs all cylinders firing and the opposition to be spooked. We lose games the same way every bloody time and we play at this [censored] every [censored] year. We don't play to respect the opposition, we are so obsessed with *our* way and we just hope we'll find a breakthrough. Good coaches consistently know how to defend against it. The losses look the same every damn time.

The Goodwin gameplan has rendered us a diabolical [censored] heap when transitioning and connecting with the forwards.

His solution will be 'try harder'.

Even when we win it is bloody arduous to watch.

Thank [censored] I made it to Perth to see a winning GF because this era is over. Burgess, support coaches and the players themselves were the key drivers. Goodwin obviously played a role but he wasn't a catalyst.

    Feels similar to the Port loss.. wet night, we didn’t adjust and the opposition took opportunities by more composure 

    Except Port are good

    Let’s not totally blame ANB for the loss, we can also blame Fritsch for that idiotic dangerous tackle.

    Can throw Chandler's miss in the 3rd. Awful in the big moments

    Flat as. 


    HQ be happy, top 4 right open. Their fave outside the Pies back in the hunt. 

    Lol

    I have no idea why I come on here during losses… the some of the negativity is so over the top. Incredible.

    Putrid 1Q and 4Q though. But the 4Q is all about us pressing too high and fumbling/losing contests when we’re all goal side. To day the cats blew us away is to suggest it’s because they were so dynamic, it was all out positioning and skill in bad area.

    Agree on ANB. Just grab the ball man.. so frustrating.

    Shocker from Gawn

    Melbourne 2021

    Geelong 2022

    Potentially Port 2023

    All quick burst scoring with just sheer brute speed and perfection in the middle. Teams get spooked and you're behind before you even realise it's 10 goals difference.

    We had our moment in 2021. The days of Richmond, Hawthorn, Brisbane type flags are over (for now).

    Yep, and I think it gets lost but the Hawks and Tigers eras came off the back of heavily compromised drafts periods. This is what the AFL wants.

    There should be a lot of nervous blokes heading into the review. At least 6 who are horribly scared of body contact 

    I’d love to see one game this year where we hit up targets instead of bombing it on heads.

    Fritta and Kossie are not taking marks against this backline in the dry, no chance in the wet

    If only we had a tall proven lead-up forward goal kicker to bring into the team.

    • 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.
