Is Langdon any chance of ever contesting an aerial ball?

Defence has sucked tonight

Bit our midfield has let Carlton walk it in unencumbered.  Add an impotent three talls fwd in Petty, Turner and Jvr and we were always in trouble.

Since we have gone down fighting I'd suggest we need to fix our pregame routine.

Why were we so flat at the start?

Jard to account for that start.

Exactly the same as lions and tigers ( ha ha) games.

Shocking sleepy start with fightback later.

Not good enough

This is the Collingwood QF all over again. Dominate the second half in inside 50s. Bad kicking.

This game was over at quarter time. Nothing like the QF

    Who told Max Gawn he's a good kick? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Max

     

    Our field kicking tonight has been shocking. Feels like a big drop off. All throughout the game, kicks to disadvantage regularly. 


    carlton going to flood their defence for the rest of the game. we're just going to huff and puff and not blow their house down

    Carlton supporters booing. Turn it up

    They have no idea - clueless [censored]


    No one hitting uo the leading lane there for Billings on the wing.

    Max finally clicked but way too late and ended up short of the contest and lost the battle.

    Horrid forward craft.  Sorry but you aint making a PF doing that let alone a GF

    Centre clearances 13-8 😡😡😡😡

    Yep. 

    We are supposed to have the best midfield about. I know Traccas fwd but it's really struggling this year. 

    Gee the umps make up the htb rule hot and cold 


    Should be fun at work tomorrow, cop the usual ‘pretenders’ from colleagues.

    Still can’t believe we were 5 goals down at quarter time. It’s just not good enough.

    • 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.
