Carlton fans are just horrible, replacing essendon in the top three of the worst fan bases in the league??

    After our straight sets failure in finals in the past two seasons, and regular poor efforts after short breaks I question our resilience to mount a fair dinkum finals campaign.

    We are non existent in midfield playing horribly but how about the umps do their job.

    Trac was held in the F50 again no free, Rivers had his head ripped off with 40 seconds to go, no free.

    AFL working their magic again.

    McVee please enough with the kicks at ground level inside our 50, very silly football. 

    • Sad 1

    We should be 3 to 4 goals down.
    Umpiring is disgraceful.
    I still think we're in this. It will get close and then the maggots will kick in to get the baggers home.

    That was an absolute snipe to the guts, if anything the carlton player should be getting heckled by dees fan not the other way round. The lack of intelligence on display by these morons beggars belief.

    Is Pickett the worst wet weather small player around? Just never gets near it when it’s wet.

    Absolutely insipid half from Melbourne. Smashed in contested possession, smashed in uncontested, not effective enough with the ball, outcoached, outplanned. 

    We have not at any point had the game on our terms. No, even when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

    Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

    What do you want me to do?

    A very disappointing midfield display and the entries going inside 50 are an absolute mess. 
    We can still win this, make no mistake, but we need to start dominating the midfield and get some easier entries going forward.

    Leave Trac forward

    Leave Pickett in the midfield 

    Instruct Billing to never again kick the ball 

    Bring on Woey and tell him to fill the hole everytime

    And wet weather footy. Remember our putrid wet weather footy in 2020 against bottom of the ladder teams in Sydney and Fremantle, costed us finals.

    Ditto 2022... 2023...

    Walsh is running riot against us. Got no answer for him

    It shows what Windsor will do for us in a few years time. For now. It exposes Oliver lack of fitness.

    We can get back into it but we need a sustained period of winning footy. Carlton have been excellent in the middle and I don't see them suddenly slowing down in there.

    Why’s that not fifty? He hit the ball. Why the [censored] are the rules even written down

    Hollands hits the ball away. Nothing. 
     

    Rivers hit in the head. Nothing. 
     

    Rivers smashed in contest. Nothing. 
     

    Viney tackled and gets rushed kick. Free to blues. 
     

    Martin in contested marking. Free kick to blues. 
     

    Curnow skill error. Out of bounds. Nothing. 
     

    Cripps throws the footy.  Nothing. 
     

    its criminal.  Umps are clearly instructed to favour Carlton.  Clearly.

    He always runs riot against us.

    We would’ve been in a prelim last year if it wasn’t for his heroics.

    Honestly this is one of the most horrific umpiring displays I have ever seen 

    Yes, you would swear that their superannuation has just received a boost.

    However, Hanlon’s razor is probably at work:

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    • 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!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
