At that stage of the season (already) where you try and find positives amongst the dross. Johnson brings something, a bit agricultural at times but you know what you get. Langford has shown a bit. Bowey back to his best.

Apart from all that, if we could just not turn the ball over things would look very different, but that's a big if.

That is horrifying. CPS need to be brought in.

No defence at back of stoppage. Everyone down on confidence at the moment. Fearing this will end up like last week.


This is going to be the same as last week… flood gates will open and we will loose this by 10 goals. We are so cooked. Serious question is handball efficiency a seperate stat? I feel like we hit 1 in 4 it’s embarrassing.

Langford has been great, far and above our most polished mid

This is as bad as the Neeld era.

It's worse. The Neelde era had so much less talent than this team does.

That a team with this much talent produces such poor football is physically painful to watch. At least with Neeld we could console ourselves with the notion that we simply didn't have the cattle.

 

We can't win a clearance, can't nullify a clearance, can't move the ball, can't hit targets by hand or foot.

Goal kicking? Turnover punishment attacking wise we are hopeless.

What the f happened over Summer to rectify these issues?

We don't look fit at all either.

It’s one of the interesting things about umpiring. If they feel the vibe of helplessness from a team, and we ARE currently helpless, they stop paying obvious free kicks because they unconsciously interpret potential free kick situations as either incompetence or desperation from the crowd. Mind you, we ARE desperate to get a free kick.

I haven’t seen a lack of confidence leading to shocking decision making like this from us for many moons. It’s so hard to watch. I really feel for the guys out there, they’ve just got zero self-belief.

Most of how bad they are is above the shoulders.

The game plan is not bad - try to keep the ball moving via short quick kicks or handball chains. But it requires excellent kicking skills (i.e. Hawthorn, GWS) and our kicking is bovine faecal matter. So we are looking to use a game plan that we can't execute. Very stupid.

Most of the team suffer from it, and unfortunately the top 5 current worst kicks are Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Viney and Fritsch.

On top of that, some of our emerging players have lost form and confidence. Rivers, Salem, Sparrow, JVR.

How long do we have to keep watching this garbage.
Till the club has withered and died a slow death.
Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

Arriving a bit early for the Pies game next week, no?

unfortunately in full demons attire, guernsey and all

As soon as Moons mentioned it was a little swirly at ground level I knew we’d be 2.10 or something ridiculous. Just embarrassing.

Real 2019 feels to this season unfortunately.

Like the look of Langford and hope Lindsay’s knee isn’t too bad. The fact he was subbed off so quickly and so early concerns me.


We'd be half a chance if the players didn't fumble and miss easy targets. Nearly all players look bereft of confidence and their basic decision making ability are impacted significantly.

What the hell is JVR doing? Not much is the answer.

He's either playing with an injury, his confidence is shot to bits or he is just not up to it at this level.

We have to many VFL players that are just not up to AFL standard. Skills once again letting us down and if it wasn't for GC keeping us in the game it would be all over. Please just hit targets in the 2nd half and we are still a show. Can't believe our lack of skills.

sub happened within about 3 mins of him going off, barely time for an assessment, hope its just precautionary 🤞🤞

Quick question..

Which department has been the worst today,?

Forward

Midfield

Or

Backline?

Trick question...... they're all on the nose.


Miraculously just 17 points down. They is still hope. Who will step forward?

Gold coast's occasional rubbish skill errors are about all that is between us and an 80 point drubbing today.

Tbf, this is only their second match of the year after playing in round 1 and then the bye so would still be getting accustomed.

They look seriously good in the contest and on the spread and would be expected to get a lot better as the season goes on.

Players aren't playing on instinct any more. Look confused, unsure and completely lacking confidence.

Goodwin needs to take the shackles off otherwise another 6-8 goal loss incoming

  • 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.
