Last night I commented on how the carlton forwards especially the smaller ones put a lot of tackling pressure on and chase.  I saw fritta and kozzie walking. 

Oliver needs to focus on the ball. At one point phillips was into him off the ball & koltyn ran in to help out.

    Chins up, Demonlanders.

    I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role. 

    Petty has been lively. Really unlucky not to have another shot on goal early in the qtr as he was taken high. Fritsch is our real problem. He needs to engage Archer.

    Do we have a forward capable of leading. Think it was Langford with a minute or two to go.. he's clear on the wing with clear space in front and we kick to a pack 20 metres out

    You do understand we are talking about North Melbourne? The worst team in the last 3 seasons? 

    After what we dished up against West Coast? The second worst team in that same period.

    It's not working though. Our season is on the line.

    At least he doesn’t give up 50m and down fields for late hits

    clarry has him for mentally lazy

    same old bomb it into the forward line, what is there problem with players leading, if one of our forwards has two players on him where is our spare player.

    Good to see Kolt giving more than he was getting in that half-time melee. 🤣

    Not sure why Oliver is getting game time, sure he’s getting tagged but any other would have been dropped, perhaps that’s the issue, did he earn his spot after a poor preseason?

    Any danger of Ollie impacting ?? 

    Kudos... Petty having a crack.

    Thanks Tmac

    A lot need to lift ...

    Clarry's copping a heavy tag but just doesn't appear to have the leg power and speed to push through the contest and hit the ball at speed.

    Will need a huge pre-season to fix that and get back to his best.

    Playing him deep forward is probably about the only option from here to try n shake the tag and maybe hit the scoreboard or get involved in some score assists plus pressure i50.

    So we can't criticise their poor performance?

    We all support the team, but we are tired and frustrated of the downhill in which we are at the moment.

    why would north tag Clarry?

    he’s had zero impact this year

    • 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.
