    A few names I noticed from the under 18 carnival.

    Ranga Edwickrama - excellent pace

    Tom Lynch - Strong marking forward, presents well and would be the perfect foil for Bate (dead set ringa)

    Tom Scully - Small forward with reasonable pace, silky skills and plenty of nous.

    Clinton Garlett - Pacy and versatile, can win his own ball.

    Ryan Harwood - Again excellent at winning his own ball, found space and delivered the ball well.

    Aaron Cornelius - Exellent overhead mark and great pace on the lead, reminded me of a junior Robbo.

    The best for mine was Michael Hurley. It's not very often you see a dominant BOG display from a full back, but he owned the game he played at Casey Fields. Keep your eyes out for him.

    its a top 10 FOR THE CARNIVAL, not his top 10 overall.

    Thanks for the caps, we may have missed your point otherwise.

    Stephen Hill (WA) and Mitch Banner (VIC M) were two that caught my eye outside of the popular trio in Natanui, Watts and Rich.

    certainly will

    given we will in all likely hood finish 15th then our first pick isnt too far out of the known.

    That we will also likley have picks 18 and/or 21 then this part of the bunch becomes very interesting..VERY !!

    So what is Steele Sidebottom's name when he's not wearing his undies on the outside?

    I smell a cult hero coming on

    I watched alot of Lewis Johnston, saw him in person on the Wednesday, I think he'll be one to struggle to transition; people are rating him far too highly.

    Strange NikNat thought S Hill was best player of the carnival or WA or whatever it was.

    Let’s get Lewis Johnston. Instead of Watts

    This way we get a key forward then with picks 1-3(what ever we get) we take NAt or rich

    Johnston is under age so he will still develop.

    If he’s in the top 10 this year imagine what he'll be if he wasn’t picked this year and went through to next year

    He won't make top 20. Also, he's not in the same class as watts. Nowhere near it.

    I'd be surprised if he didnt make the top 20, but prob have to see his testing to know, cause I thought he looked a pretty good, well-rounded forward with a bit of x-factor

    Maybe 15-20, but I think more 20-25. Moves nicely, but there's a fair bit of 'if and maybes' about him. I don't see a dominant key forward, more a lively roaming tall. He does have some x factor, but he's definitely not top 10.

    Maybe it's the hair.

    I liked the look of Zaharakis. Not sure why, but just stood out to me for some reason.

    Tend to agree.

    Has all the necessary ability to make it but his demeanor doesn't strike me as one that will cope with the pressures of AFL

    • 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.
