Another poor coaching performance.

No answer for the Giants handball game.

Tmac on Hogan made no sense.

Another poor coaching performance by McQualter too.

Exactly Hogan is the best key forward going round - May was the obvious match. May was moved after the damage was done. A repeat of the West Coast game when Waterman killed us.

    We lost by 2 points to a side many on here said pre-game we wouldn't beat, who played champagne football from clearance for 20 minutes and kicked 5 goals, and who kicked beautifully all night. If anything, it was the coaching that kept us in it. It was our inefficient playing list, unable to capitalise on momentum and unable to execute under pressure, which kept us out of it.

    A lot on here are really overblowing how good the Giants are. They lost to Richmond and the Suns on expected score and only won off their accuracy. They’ve lost to the likes of Essendon and Adelaide (both teams we’ve beaten). I fully expected to win last night but the fact is after the Giants made some tactical changes after qtr time we had no answer.

    I also thought we’d win for similar reasons. 

    They’ve now won 3 straight off the back of playing efficient football. Last night they weren’t flawless (other than the first 5 minutes of the fourth) but they took advantage of any momentum they had and we are adept at squandering momentum we have.

    Not specifically having a go at Goodwin, but what’s the upside in not having your premier defender in May on their premier forward in Hogan?

    That was the point.  May on Riccardi. Why?  Hogan is their main key forward.  It was a mistake to put Tmcd on Hogan, and it was one of the reasons that we lost the game.

    Goody will not make in game coaching changes unless the game is already lost.  That is my biggest criticism of him. He is stubborn and sticks to the system rather than tactical changes to maximise individual strengths.

    • 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.
