Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

 
 

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

    Last week's game was almost finals like.

    I fear we are flat

    Just what the Afl wanted.

    Five day break after that game is a joke .

    Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.

    6 players with 1 possession or less for the  quarter

    Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

    Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

    Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

    Midfield need to lift bigtime


    This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

    Edited by BoBo

    They are clogging us up

    Did well to stay close

    Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

    Go Dees!

    Getting belted in clearances and inside 50s 

    really pathetic display so far 

    Settle down 


    Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

    Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

    McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

    May some great marks. 

    Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

    Rivers back into the corridor with less than 20 secs to go - big brain fart.

    Grow a brain mate!

    Really poor from rivers

      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.
