 What do you want me to do? 

Give up and go home/turn the game off. Not worth it for your mental health.

It's a long season but a winless finals exit sure looks on the cards again.

I am selling very special bath water gin for $98 a bottle if anyone is interested

It staggers my mind in a multi billion dollar enterprise one key component - umpiring - can be so bad

Where is the accountability

I know it's hard to umpire but [censored]

This is the most pathetic forward 50 display I’ve ever seen.

Billings - 4 touches

Fritsch - 3 touches

Petty - 1 touch

Pickett - 1 touch

JVR - 7 touches and not one in our 50

Inside 50s - 28 to 20 our way, and not a single score from any of them.


The ball is being walked out. Everyone else is pulling their weight. No matter how good your midfield and defence is you can’t counter the ball being rebounded out so quickly.

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. 

They've been instructed by the powers that be.

It's Blind Freddy and friends out there in Green.

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

Clarry having a stinker. 4 Clangers. 3 absolute up and under kicks to no one.

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.

Absolute gold

Umpires cannot be blamed for that half

when you are second to the ball and not playing in front you get what you deserve

5 day break cannot be blamed either. Tiredness does not mean you kick to Weitering and McGovern over and over 

Trac stood up that Q. ANB and Windsor did pretty well

Our fwd line cannot function with the pathetic service they are getting

If that happens, coaching staff will be under heavy duress and questioning.

Tall forwards getting outnumbered, that’s a work rate problem from our small forwards.

Our delivery is pretty poor inside 50.

Umps aren’t great, but they aren’t the cause of our problems. How about moving the ball aggressively?

Can anyone else decipher why when the ball hits the deck inside our forward 50 there seems to 4 carlton players immediately on top of it yet it seems more like 1 on 1s when its in our d50, if we cant retain the entries, we're not going to challenge at all. 

Also can our midfield please get to work, Brisbane game we got smashed out of the centre and from memory the sydney game was a centre clearance demolition. amazing (or maybe it isnt amazing) how much rests on how effective your mids are at the contest.

For christ sake drag Weitering away from the play, forwards move around instead of standing still and dragging your player with you, still cannot believe Stafford is in charge of the forward line.

Forwards completely smashed - almost zero possessions between them - so the ball is just coming straight out again. Weitering on Petty especially.

Putrid first half.  Lucky to only be 5 goals down. 

We can get back from this, but not if we continue to let them play it on their terms

Goody needs to seriously shake them up

this is because we haven’t hit a target inside 50 all game

hard to pressure the ball when we kick direct to them

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
