The tall defenders are going to be a worry with this run and gun system. Lever has brain farts, May gets nervous under pressure and the Tug Boat can’t move the feet quick enough to evade pressure, nor can he defend. 

Then they can get used to it if they are so good. 

What’s the point in having generational defenders if we are going to have a gameplan designed around protecting them?

Run.

Gun.

    I agree and there weren’t too many defensive errors, the problem was when they had the ball that still needs work

    Hard to judge with a team playing first touch of the year against an oppo in anger, but for a team with 6 or so best 22 sitting it out, when it clicked it looked great, but if the balls turned over we get knifed on the rebound. Personally I still have questions over billings, but that could just be my predisposed disposition

    Teams seem to go end to end with such ease against us.

    This was the knock on the Pies game style last year, hopefully the positives out weight the negatives

    Sweet, I look forward to us lifting the cup then

    Yuck giving up quick goals that's five in a row. Our small backs and lever and may a year older are a concern


    Trac looked a bit proppy after a contest a minute or so ago. 

    I reckon you just have to ask what are we working on?  I see this as More of a test in anger rather than all cards on the table.  You will see patches of good and bad in such scenarios.

    Gee the pressure or Gawn is already evident. Such a colossal error giving up so early on Grundy. Gave in to media pressure.

    Pace is still an issue because structurally we play high pressure which is vulnerable on the turnover and doesn't let us take advantage of the pace we do have. No matter how quick you are, if you're playing a kick behind on the transition you'll never catchup. It's a Goodwin coaching speciality and has been since 2017.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
