Van Rooyen isn't the answer for a backup ruckman 

Been real good as a ruckman. Not sure what you are watching

    Outside the first 10 mins, Lions dominating. 

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down. 

     

    They look too polished unless we lift

    Don’t usually post in the game day thread but that 2nd qtr effort was disgusting. Brisbane are hardly the toughest & they smashed us around the footy. We looked soft.

    I just don’t know where we are at as a side at the moment 

    Without Petracca it feels like we’d a bottom 8 team.

    Agreed. Giving us good use with his second efforts. He’s really not bad.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    100% our biggest weakness tonight.

    He has never hit form at any stage since the concussion.  Coming back to bite the selectors on the bum.

    A pitty Clazz aint ready.  Straight swap

    Yep nailed it. I'm all for fast ball movement but needs to be in the right players hands.

    Trying to play a bit too quick and risky. Been good to watch but lions on top now

    As soon as the pace and pressure picked up, we've panicked and our forward 50s are ooozing pus again

    Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

    He really got going that quarter.

    Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

    Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure.

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    A very disappointing quarter, but they are a top 4 team for a reason. They move it better than us. They have much better forwards than we do, so they can actually kick it forward with some purpose. They were all over us and make us pay for every turnover, while rarely turning it over themselves. 

     

    We have to get back to winning the contested game. We can’t win it in a shoot out.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons. 

     

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    We need Smith's height and mobility at half fwd

    Should be straight in for Spargo from now.

    Let's hope we don't wait till the last 15 min

    He was supposed to be a fwd though. Not like we don't have a better ruck option in Grundy.

    Can't defend quick ball movement!!!

    Any chance we can get a coach to tell these guys to lower eyes and hit a leading target going forward !!!

    Bomb in everytime to Brisbane advantage

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender.

    • 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.
