Ump 22 again

 

For whatever reason every dump kick out of our 50 is going to a Blues player 

Nah, not good enough. We are going forward and the ball is being contested and dropped to the ground where Blues are mopping it up. Zero pressure. We miss Spargo in games like this. Very very poor.

    I suspected the midfield is going to struggle today. Not going to end well if we can’t win some clean ball in stoppage.

    Who was the turkey who said umps weren't the problem.

    We don't look like scoring tonight. We're trying to run the ball down the ground through handball and aren't slick enough. The last disposal going inside 50 is deplorable and Carlton can then get us on the counter.

    Losing a lot of contested ball as well, which isn't what we would have wanted vs Carlton.

    Game over


    I count we have gone to Fritsch 6 times this Q. He is clearly outsized

    Why not kick to JVR or Petty or Turner?!?!?!?

    Frees 8-2. Looks a pattern.

    Mckay, Pittonet and Dekonning all with goals in wet conditions.

    You can't excuse. You just can't. Carlton have barely gotten out of second gear. That was a clinic in wet weather football.

    • 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.
