PTSD baby

It seems a bit that way, considering Geelong were there to be run over. Holmes didn’t want it inside early, and now the games opened up he’s a factor. Petracca needs to just tell our midfield to get out of his way. Sometimes I think Viney is a liability for Petracca. 

 

So much good footy finished with sloppy lazy goal kicking. We are very much in and they are playing as well as they can. It's about composure under pressure and composure while exhausted now. We need someone to stand up and LEAD us to a win.

    Will that knee to Gawns head get looked at.  It bloody well should !!!

    How was that not a free kick???????


    I feel like I’ve seen this movie against the cats about 50 times before. Dominate large chucks of the game, kick a boat load of behinds, loose by a narrow margin when we should have won by 5-6 goals

    Are you allowed to knee someone in the head in the ruck? You’re not marking the ball

    It was a deliberate tactic. 100%.

    Inability to take our chances in high pressure games is a serious trend.

    Hey but you can't criticise the sacrosanct coaches. At some point, they are responsible for list recruiting and development. It's 3 years of the same thing, can't kick a score and fall short. How long more are we going to cope?

    2.7 to 4.2 in that qtr…

    5.4 and we’d be a handy couple of goals up. Instead we’re only a couple of points down but they are now converting, even if flukey sometimes and we can’t even slot them in from 30

    Cats get ball from backline spread it to outside every time with loose players time and time again someone in the box wake up.

    I thought it should have been a free because it stopped gawn competing in the ruck contest

    Not a good advert for Chocko's footys.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!
