Another red time goal! Every fricking game.

Goodwin team in a nutshell. Awareness zero. Btw why did Petraca forced that disposal? Just take the tackle and stoppage.

 
 

I'm trying to be positive but Max, Fritta and Tracc are just cooked.

Stick a fork in them all.

Their done.

Not too bad so far to be honest, much better than last week. You can see what they’re trying to do. Just need a bit more composure

    good for half the qtr... poor skills when we have control to deliver the ball to the advantage of our players. Goodwins tactic were shown up in the 2nd half in terms of positioning the players. lets see if they change it up to adjust this qtr.

    Gawn struggling again this week. Is he struggling with carrying the load on and off field for so long or is the end coming fast?

    The end coming I think.

    A for effort so far.

    C- for skill.

    Awful errors from Max and May.

    you're being generous. F for skills more like
     

    What is the point of Sharp and Turner? Both are great at disappearing when the ball is in their area.

    Oliver's mind is willing, but his body is cactus. He is an absolute liability at centre bounces.

    Comical fwd entry then with kicks to no one

    Jeez

    Question for the new players - why did we recruit Campbell

    You reckon the dual ruckman strategy that clearly failed with Grundy is going to suddenly magically work with Campbell?

    Clearly he's there as backup.

    Ditto Oliver, no speed or acceleration.

    Cats controlling the air

    They're:

    +7 in tackles

    +20 in marks

    Our disposal 58% v 75%

    Their loose defensive player is killing us

    Bowey no impact

    Maybe Goodys comments in round 2 weren’t off the mark r.e. Gawny

    Yes he’s had a bad game here and then but this looks different.

    Gawn is done as a solo ruckman he needs support now.

    Bring in Campbell (I think that’s him).

    A man and coach has got to know his limitations.

    On one of the footy shows, they showed he is rucking event more this year than ever.
    We need to bit the bullet and bring in a second ruck if we want him to keep playing for us.

    Campbell did his hammy for Casey.

    Particularly nice work by Langford in the last dying seconds of that quarter.

    Oppo defenders just need to stand 40m out directly in front and we will hit them every time ffs.

    Max looks way off it

    That about sums it up.

    Straight lines into the 50 or mark just outside, panic and play on then kick it to no one or no one's advantage.

    Zero pressure inside 50 when the ball hits the deck. They are first to the loose ground balls i50 almost always.

    Our two way running through the middle from our big boys is shot. They can't even run with old man danger even when theyre right alongside him at the drop.

    Aside from Koz there's just a lack of guys hitting the ball drop at pace. Too stagnant and reactionary. Someone needs to be on the move at stoppages and 666.

    This just doesn't look like a big rockets been pile drived through the camp when it should've been. Hec the do or die kill or be killed response should've come last week.

    Is there any chance we can look inside as first option when coming off HB instead of kicking in straight lines most of the time, often to a 2 v 1!???

    Plenty of time left for so many to not leave so much to so few in this game and grow a leg for the win.

    a lot of people retiring Max after his one dip in form in years.

    I share the frustration of late goals!!!!

    JVR is now better in the ruck than as a MARKING forward

    a few clever contributions by Melksham

    Turner, hold that mark!

    • 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.
