i nearly feel sorry for Brown. Martin will kick his proverbial.

    This will see if the boy will sink or swim. Sadly, playing on big JB first game is a bit like being asked to swim with a anvil tied to you leg.

    We will soon see what this boy is made of. Mark my words, if he shuts down JB, he will win this rounds rising star nominee. That is a very big IF!

    i really think this will happen...

    the fact is Stef is the biggest out of our key defenders... he's got size on both warnock and Garland... he seems to be the best matchup...

  • Quote

    I think Martin will go to Bradshaw, and Warnock will go to Brown. Garland should play on Brennan or Clark (one of them will play forward).

    I like it. Give him a taste of what it takes to play with the dawgs.

    Hard to tell by the coverage but did Martin spend a fair bit of time on Brennan?

    played on Mitch Clark early... not sure, but may have gone to brennan later in the game, especially when Clark was injured...

    from what i saw at the game he spent most of his time on number1 dont know his name nor cared who he was

    sat behind the goals at punt road so didnt get to see him at the city endbut i thought he did look a likely type and very nervous but i think he will develope nicely who knows later on how far this kid can go

    tez, #1 for them is Mitch Clark (?) i think.

    I liked Martin today. Yeh he did look nervous, but he moves really well, good pace and a reasonably strong body that will only get stronger. Got a bit of the ball in the first half though i think when the heat was on in the 2nd half, Bailey took him off and 'protected' his debutant. Could be very good... definitely looks a better option than Nathan Carroll already IMO, and his kicking wasn't as bad as first thought.

    LOL doggo thanks for that, nearly had a heart attack when he got his first kick wasn't sure what he would do nice little floater to start, loved his mark against brown later in same quater.

    i think everyone concerned would be rapt with his first senior game

    Lets hope he can develope and what i think he will be a KPP in the future

    He went to Mitch Clark when he was forward, but he seemed to move further up the ground later in the game. Seems to be very mobile for someone 198cm and 100kg or thereabouts. A defence with Warnock, Garland, Martin and Rivers sounds good to me.

    his mark reminded me of the OX, he was out of postion but ended up taking it .. just like how he moves. :)

    He's enormous. The size of a Giraffe, only wider...

    Watching Mitch Clark, who is a high draft pick and is highly rated, and then comparing him to Stef I was really excited.

    Obviously it's a different job in a VERY different side (No Brown or Bradshaw playing at MFC), but I was encouraged by Stef. Long way to go yet, but he didn't let us down...

    A fine debut, especially the first half.

    Incredibly quicks hands for a big man.

    Loads of potential, very impressive for someone so new to the game.

  • Quote

    Although nervous he looks like a footballer. Solid first game and the way the coaches are going he could be very good in the future

  • Quote

    his debut was very promising - did no have a lot of touches but it was he did without the ball...

    he fumbled once in the first quarter, but then went and made up for his error by locking the ball in...

    he has a good leap, so his spoiling was pretty polished...

    he lined up on clark and gave him the mother of all hidings.. also brennan at one stage appeared to be opposed to martin and he also got a hiding!!

    a good debut and definitely something to work with!!

    • 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.
