    Perry’s looking more comfortable this week and is strong overhead.

    Jordan is playing with confidence and has had some good run and carry plays.

    Viney is getting the attention usually reserved for Clarry and Trac.

    May and Lever very strong.

    Brown providing a strong option but needs to dig a litter deeper to cover stkilda’s defensive switch.

    Langdon running into some form.

    Melksham is dynamic and will hold his spot in the team.

    I didn't go tonight either. I go every week, pay $1000 in memberships, sort of didn't feel like paying more to go to to a concrete jungle and get home by midnight again.

    Yep same. Time slot is brutal. Especially living outside Melbs. Sometimes I do miss the all-Saturday arvo fixture.

    Not at the game.

    Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

    I would expect it's because running it down a wing with 50 handballs allows the opposition to flood into our forward 50 and clog it up so it rebounds out or we try and kick snaps in a congested forward line.

    We're switching but doing it very deep and slowly (Barry white style baby uhuh).

    Might want to take on the corridor a bit more aggressively.

    Not at the game either,. 😜

    Brayshaw an absolute butcher -  44% efficiency and turns it we in terrible spots -  some of it is just careless -  needs to lift intensity.

    Max and Kozzy a mile off.

    Even just a genuine effort would be more than what he’s done so far. Doesn’t look like he’s trying tonight.

    Do we have a nickname for Taj? (Where “Taj” could be akin to Steve for Steve Irwin - another Australian legend)

    I like WW2 (Woewodin 2)

    Selection of Spargo and Melksham has been much criticized. Both are doing far better than the much-vaunted Kozzie.  It's baffling and frustrating because we all know how dynamic Kozzie can be.

    He's had 1 touch tonight and had had a poor season to date

    But for whatever reason, we'd rather express our ire towards players who are in the thick of things and who are constantly under pressure with their disposals

    At least they are getting the damn ball and not hanging out the back ... spectating

    How far is he allowed to run? 
     

    so many umpire errors. 

    What they pay and let go is so random

    • 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.
