    This biggest worry is the lack of A graders coming through.

    Kozzie aside, the next were McVee and Rivers.

    Lots of regression all around. Turner, Kozzie and few others aside.

    This is a coaching and development issue, not player. I think McVee and River will be great, provided they have people around them to help. Like any team.

    It's always a no name potato who kicks multiple goals on us.

    Last week he kicked 3 behinds so of course this week he'd actually kick them
     

    THE COACH HAS TO GO!

    And credit where credit's due. I watched Fritta go back against the flight of the ball. Gutsy effort.

    Big time - saw that too, he is playing well.

    I'm losing faith in River's, I dont think he has the touch to be an A grader. Will still be a 150-200+ gamer. But just a solid footballer i think

    Wow. I love this club and know we are struggling, but what was that? How do I keep watching?

    I honestly do not have words for the football we produced. The amount of times our forwards have led well with the kick going anywhere else but to their advantage. The kicking skills. The decision making. Being annihilated in marking contests.

    Our fire is out, our passion deflated, our socks down and we are playing as if already defeated.

    I have gone in to bat for Jeffo and Kolt but they have both been absolutely appalling. Sharp little better.

    At least Langdon, Fritta, Gawn, Salem and Langford are having a go, but still...

    That was quite bizarre. Maybe he was complaining because he was slightly more up the field... not sure but it seemed weird.

    It is very poor leadership.

    Kosi rotting at FF while we struggle to win or move the ball is a joke. I understand he kicks goals, but he also creates them. We need him back in the middle to cause some chaos.

    We aren’t winning anymore with Viney Trac and Clarry in the same midfield.

    Put Harvey in there, Chin, anything different to try and spark a bit of meaningful movement with the ball. Hell put Salem into the midfield. We literally have nothing to lose.

    Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity, and I’m going insane.

    Yes and that was the third big effort in a row.

    If you didn't know it was his first year. You'd look at Langford tonight and swear he was part of our leadership team.

    I'm sure we'll drive him into mediocrity by the middle of next year.

    Look at Windsor last year to where he's at this year.

    When there's complete chaos all around you as a young player, it must just keep chipping away at your confidence

    We seem to Excell at this for decades.

    The Paul Roos era seems to be the only time we seemed to build young players up in skills and confidence rather than seeing them crumble

    Is Frittata playing as as a wingman?

    Is so, why

    Fritsch is the only one that’s made things happen tonight.

    Is he playing on the wing.

    Salem runs on a treadmill. He would be eaten alive in the middle. He is good with ball in hand, but he can no longer run faster than a two year old.

    If Jefferson plays again for the MFC, something must be seriously wrong.

    And we have Petty as an emergency!

    I shudder the day he leaves.

    Me too mate, me too. Goodwin can’t think of anything but what miracle can Max do for us today…

    We literally have no other go to…

    Genuinely uncoachable.

    Every kick a turnover

    30+ turnovers

    dropped sitters, missed easy kicks, pathetic game style

    No change to the game plan

    Anyone at this club that finds this acceptable has absolutely NFI

    It’s been coming yet many in denial! What the coaching staff have managed to do to this list is mind boggling, yet our club has blind faith in Goodwin, basic skill errors and kicking skills/decision making, same is long bombs to 2vs1 fwds

    • 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.
