Just thought i'd give the guy some praise...............cos i haven't seen anything mentioned about him from the brissy game.

I thought he was fantastic, i was at the game and made sure i kept an eye on him.

19 touches and 3 tackles..............he is fast becoming one of my favourites

    I also thought he did well...although some of his disposals were a bit rushed and led to a few mistakes, but his work around the stoppages was again good.

    Needs more games and game time, has the physique and smarts to cope at this level. Will be very handy type for Bailey.

    He did some good things, but I thought his disposals were pretty diabolical at times. People were having a go at CJ's disposals when Valenti's were far worse.

    His ability to stand up in a tackle is superb. Great balance and except for a silly kick across goal early it thought he was very good

    I agree. From what I saw, he lost his feet a bit too (although he did stand up in a few tackles).

    With Moloney and McLean out for the count, I think he'll get a chance to secure a senior spot, though.

    Good luck to him.

    That was a definite highlight of his game on the weekend. His tackling and enthusiasm was stood out as well. Actually, the tackling and defensive pressure was a major feature of the entire team. Terrific to watch.

    He's an interesting fella isnt he. He defies his stature in tackles...seems to be smeared with ball glue..lol. I think he's stil lfinding his way at this level but he's getting there. As others have noted he's been a little less than perfect in disposal but thats getting better unlike someone else I could mention :rolleyes:;) )

    Whilst the execution of ideas remains to climb to higher levels the ideas and vision itself is pretty good. He seems to know where to put it..even if it doesnt happen perfectly yet.. As he settles and this betters I think he may prove quite the little general out there. He has a bit of a footy brain this lad :)

    • 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.
