Hore will want to bounce back this week after being tagged out of the game last week. Mackin has been in sensational form.

With Purcell, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to beat North.

    Lost Birch, Gay, West, Sherriff in trades out.
    Went young in the draft.  
    With     Purcell, Aimee Mackin, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to “compete this year”.  That’s 9 out of the best 21 team from 2023.

    Gall deserves a spray from the coach at quarter time for that selfishness

    Composure, non-existent. Just calm down a little

    we've fought well after a poor start. nothing wrong with our heart and endeavour. just need to take a breath and make better decisions

    Shades of last week so far: opposition's link, run and carry, and being beaten in the air, particularly across half forward. Endeavour up again, too, though.

    rubbish free kick. i assume a dangerous tackle but it was nothing of the sort.

    I have no doubt that in most games the bounce of the ball will favour one team, but today we've been killed.

    shelley heath cracking in as usual, paxy seeing a fair bit of it. the team have tried

    but North are a cut above. its an uphill struggle from here.

    Looked a fair way off them that quarter. Ball movement too stagnant (mostly due to skill), and not strong enough in the contest.

    North look good.

    This, unfortunately.

    Also, not realising the lesson Mick said was learnt from last week - too many drawn into the contest leaving nothing outside, in contrast to North.

    • 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.
