The same people that have been calling for Fritsch's omission (constantly) are now annoyed that he gets dropped?

His form might have improved but he was coming from a very low base and it's fairly obvious that the MC have grown tired of him not doing the team things

JVR is barely suburban level for his last 10 games. Won't play in front, goes for marks with one arm (what's that all about?) and has no vigour or aggression in his game

Viney is getting picked on reputation as well and is right now offering very little

Petty does not attack contests and is lucky to be getting a game. Our lack of depth keeps Viney & Petty in the team ... but both are passengers

And Gawn needs a downgrade from just rucking 90% of the time. Fullarton deserves a decent go at it so Gawn forward or bench (25% of the time)

And can Oliver start playing as a team player again? Just gets it and kicks blindly forward

He's like the 3rd Crouch brother right now - ineffective

$1.4Million per annum for that? Money for old rope

And how does Sparrow keep getting a game? Does anyone ever notice him. The invisible man

Perhaps he could show a bit of aggression?

Rivers never steadies or lowers his eyes and is another who kicks it blindly. We should look at trading him

But apparently, it's all Goodwin's fault?

Laughable

Looked at another way ... how many bona-fide, AFL level players have we got (right now) playing to that standard

Maybe a handful of players? Tops

It's actually quite alarming (the drop-off in performance) We've suddenly become this old team, devoid of pace and skills

And pro sport takes no prisoners. Freo will be looking to crush us if they get a chance

The supreme optimist in me maybe somehow sees a win but we're allowed to dream

A crushing loss should make the focus on the players but it doesn't work that way (at least, not initially)

Goodwin will cop it but will it be his fault? I say no because I reckon our list (apart from a number of the young blokes) is cooked

    • 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.
