Excerpt

White wasn't the only experienced Demon absent, as David Neitz, Adem Yze, Russell Robertson, James McDonald, Jared Rivers, Brent Moloney, Nathan Carroll and Ben Holland were all non-starters due to retirement, injury or lack of form.

And aside from Rivers, Moloney and Carroll, the rest of those players all debuted in the 1990s, meaning Melbourne's team against the Lions was the first time it fielded a side without a player who debuted last decade.

In fact, the Demons were the only team this round not to have had a player in their side who debuted in the 1990s. The AFL confirmed this is a rare statistic and one that could have happened for the first time on the weekend.

    Now it's Stynes' turn to wear the Star Wars comparison: 'He brings almost Yoda-like qualities to the red and blue faithful and his passion and energy is unquestioned.'

    Really?

    What sort of Yoda-like qualities?

    Is he the wise grandmaster of a sect of super-powerful warriors?

    Is he following the Light Side of the Force?

    Does he have fully sick jedi mind tricks?

    Where is his lightsaber, and - more to the point - what colour is it?

    Or...

    ...is he just a puppet with a weird way of speaking and some other bloke's hand up his bum?

    • 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.
